Panduit Compression Lugs

Panduit compression lugs, also known as compression connectors, create permanent connections between industrial cables and connection points using bolts and nuts. They are used to supply power or grounding in applications where reliability or continuous vibration are concerns, such as in automobiles, transformers, appliances, and electrical panels.

Compression connectors have barrel-shaped bodies that compress the conductor to create a tight bond and feature flat or angled tongues (or pads) with mounting holes for fastening around threaded studs or bolts. One-hole compression lugs have a single mounting hole, while two-hole compression lugs have two mounting holes to prevent the lug from turning if the connection becomes loose. The bodies have color-coded bands and markings that identify where to compress and indicate the die component and tool necessary to create a solid, uniform bond between the cable and connector.

Industrial Compression Lugs, Mechanical Lugs and Ground Clamps

Panduit alloys ensure top performance under the most extreme environmental conditions. Designed for easy installation and outstanding durability, Panduit is your source for grounding connectors, grounding clamps, ground rod clamps, mechanical lugs, and pool water bonding kits.

Panduit mechanical lugs are heavy-duty lugs commonly used in electrical and construction applications. These lugs are designed to accommodate a wide range of connectors and are often referred to as "electrical lugs." They are ideal for larger wires and cables and are typically constructed from aluminum or copper.

Terminal lugs are designed to allow connection to a terminal. They can be easily mounted to any post, stud, or chassis and come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, making it easy to find the right one for your electrical application.
