Square D AL2500RK Circuit Breaker Mechanical Lug

Product Description

The SQUARE D AL2500RK is a mechanical lug accessory designed for use with compatible Square D circuit breakers. Mechanical lugs provide a direct wire termination point, allowing conductors to connect to a breaker without passing through a built-in terminal. This accessory accepts wire ranges of 14-1/0 AWG and 8-1/0 AWG, making it suitable for a range of conductor sizes used in residential and light commercial electrical panels. Licensed electricians install this type of lug when a panelboard or load center requires field-added termination points for branch or feeder conductors.

This mechanical lug is intended for use in electrical distribution equipment where additional or replacement conductor termination is needed. It is applicable in residential panelboards, commercial load centers, and similar enclosures that accept this style of bolt-on lug accessory. The dual wire range of 14-1/0 AWG and 8-1/0 AWG accommodates both smaller branch circuit conductors and larger feeder conductors within the same termination point, offering flexibility across a variety of wiring configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the panel and verify the absence of voltage with an appropriate meter before handling any breaker components or lug hardware. Torque all conductor terminations to the value stamped on the lug or listed in the manufacturer documentation. Do not exceed the rated wire range when inserting conductors into the lug terminals.
