Overview

The ABB 60273N Aluminum Two-Hole Range-Taking Narrow Tongue Lug (SKU: 60273N) is a high-conductivity, corrosion-resistant compression lug designed for heavy-duty electrical connections in industrial, utility, and commercial systems. Engineered for wire sizes ranging from 350 to 500 kcmil, this lug features a long barrel design for maximum crimp density and superior pull-out strength, ensuring reliable performance in high-voltage environments up to 35kV. The enclosed barrel design prevents corrosive contaminants from entering, while the tin-plated finish enhances durability and conductivity. Factory pre-filled with joint compound and sealed with an easy pull-out end plug, the 60273N is ready for immediate installation without additional preparation. The lug includes a 1/2-inch bolt size with 1-3/4-inch hole spacing, accommodating NEMA-standard mounting configurations. The pink die code (99H) and color-coded barrel markings simplify crimp die selection and inventory management, ensuring compatibility with Panduit and specified competitor tools. cULus listed to 35kV and temperature-rated to 90°C when crimped with approved tools, this lug meets Telcordia NEBS Level 3 standards and is American Bureau of Shipping approved for marine applications. Ideal for grounding, bonding, and power distribution systems, the 60273N delivers long-term reliability in harsh environments where corrosion resistance and mechanical strength are critical.
  • ABB Installation Products’ Color-Keyed® brand has long been known for pioneering the industry-standard method for color coding compression lugs and crimp dies for fool-proof matching and for its extensive line of CU & AL compression lugs and splices.
  • Accommodates 350-500 kcmil aluminum/copper conductors with 1/2-inch bolt size
  • Long barrel design maximizes crimps and pull-out strength for superior mechanical performance
  • Tin-plated finish and enclosed barrel inhibit corrosion in harsh environments
  • Pink die code (99H) and color-coded markings ensure proper crimp die selection and inventory tracking

How to Install the 60273N Aluminum Lugs

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 60273N aluminum lugs, ensuring a secure and reliable electrical connection.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Joint compound, Belleville compression washers

  1. Prepare the cable

    Strip the insulation from the cable according to the specified length in Table A. Be careful not to nick the cable strands.

  2. Apply joint compound

    Remove the plastic protective cap from the wire barrel. Smear a thin layer of joint compound onto the cable and brush it with a wire brush or emery cloth.

  3. Insert and compress the connector

    Insert the prepared cable into the connector until it stops. Use the appropriate die and compress the connector according to the color-coded bands, starting near the tongue of the connector.

  4. Secure the connection

    After crimping, remove any sharp edges or burrs. Bolt the lugs to a pad using Belleville compression washers to maintain tension through temperature changes.

  5. Verify the installation

    Use a multimeter to check the connection for continuity and ensure there are no shorts. Confirm that the installation meets all safety standards.
