Product Data ¥ Scotchlok® Aluminum Compression tugs OE 1. Product Description 2. Applications 3. Data SCOTCHLOK Aluminum Compression Lugs consist of a series of terminal lugs from No. 6 AWG through 1000 komil (MCM) designed for terminating aluminum and/or ‘copper conductors. Each lug has a bronze underplating and a tin outerplating to resist corrosion and can be installed with standard industry tooling. Chamtered ends ensure simplicity and ease of insertion. —To terminate aluminum and/or copper conductors from No. 6 AWG through 1000 kemil (MCM); — Indoor and outdoor; — Low voltage and high voltage (up to 35 KV); — For maximum secureness requirements, two-hole lugs are available in larger sizes. ‘The SCOTCHLOK lugs consist of a series of one-hole lugs from No. 6 ‘AWG through 1000 kernil (MCM) and two-hole lugs from 1/0 through 1000 kemil (MGM), The lug features are: — Simple application using readily available tools: — Chamiered ends for ease of ‘conductor insertion; —Tinned outerplating and ALSTAN® process bronze underpiating insure maximum corrosion protection. — Color coded end caps for lug identification and ease of removal {no tools required). — Hole size and spacing to NEMA specifications. ULL listed, CSA certified — Contact aid is compatible with all solid insulations. [ALSTAN ipa registered vademark of MAT ‘Chemical incorporated Physical and Electrical ‘The Scotchlok 40,000 series aluminum/copper lugs, crimped with approved die sets, can be used on cables with a rated operating temperature of 90°C and an ‘emergency overload rating of 130°C. ‘The lugs pass the requirements of UL 486B, Underwriters’ Laboratories’ standard for safety (see Section 5, Performance Tests).

Specifications Product Lugs must be constructed of seamless aluminum and must be underplated with 30 milionth-inch minimum thickness of bronze and tin plated with ‘a minimum thickness of 3ten- thousandths inches. They must be availabe in one-hole sizes trom No. 8 ‘AWG through 1000 Kemil (MCM) and two-hole sizes from 1/0 through 1000 omit {MCM}. The lugs when crimped with the approved die sets must have a current-carrying capacity equal othe ‘conductors for which they are rated Engineering/Architectural Lugs shall be crimped with one of the approved die sets according to the engineering information supplied with the connectors. (See Crimping Too! and Die Set Table.) All terminations of aluminum and/or copper stranded wires in sizes No. 6 AWG through 1000 kemil (MCM) shall be made electrically ‘and mechanically secure with SCOTCHLOK Aluminum Compression Lugs. The lugs must have a current-carrying capacity equal to the conductors they are rated for and must also meet the requirements 4 listed in U.L. 4868 test standards. 5. Performance Tests A. Physical and Electrical Properties Material — Lug: 1100t Aluminum Plating: Outerplating: Bright tin — minimum thickness 3 ten- thousandths. Underplating: ALSTAN" process bronze undorplating minimum thickness — 30 millionths inches. Voltage Rating — Low and high voltage (up to 35 KV) Current Rating — Same as each ‘conductor for which lug is rated Aluminum Association 8. UL. 486B SCOTCHLOK lugs crimped with the approved die sets pass the following series of tests as found in ULL. 4868 Underwriters’ Laboratories’ standard for safety. ic Sequence Test a) Secureness Test (See Figure A) ‘The test was set up as shown in Figure: ‘A. The values of the height H, diameter Of the bushing hole, and weight W_ were selected from Table Ii in accordance with the size of the wire to which the weight was attached. The lug was secured rigidly to simulate actual service conditions. The bushing ‘oscillates about the lugin a predescribed circle at a rate of 9 rpm for 30 minutes. At the end of this period the lug/wire connection must be secure, Results: All ugs passed.

The values shown in the table are listed in ULL. 4868. Results: All lugs passed. The pullout forces required to separate the conductors from the lugs are much greater than those which are listed. ©) Static Heating The lugs carried a continuous A.C. current in accordance with the values in column § of Table IV with a temperature rise no greater than 50°C above ambient. Lug temperatures were considered to be stable when 3 readings, taken not less than 10 minutes apart showed a variance of no more than 2°C between any 2 readings. Results: all lugs passed. B2. Heat Cycling Test Lugs were subjected to currents and cycle times having values in accordance with those in columns 3 and 4 of Table IV. The lugs were on test for 500 cycles without exceeding the maximum allowable temperature rise or stability factor as specified in the U.L. 4868 standard. Results: All lugs passed.

Installation Techniques Make connections for SCOTCHLOK ‘compression lugs with the approved Crimping tool and die sets as listed in Table Il. When preparing cable, wire brush conductor end and immediately insert into lug end. Make sure end is pushed tight against end of lug barrel When crimping lugs, if more than one crimp per end is required, make initial Ccrimps closest to the pad of the lug and subsequent crimps should progress outward. If any flash or sharp points exist on lugs atter crimping, they should be removed or smoothed out IW the lugs are to be used on insulated cable (above 600 V), all indents should be filled and the lugs should be “rounded out" with SCOTCH Brand 13 ‘Semiconducting Tape.7.
