Overview

ABB AL 2-38 Aluminum One-Hole NEMA Lugs are precision-engineered connectors designed for secure, high-conductivity terminations in industrial and commercial electrical systems. These lugs accommodate 2-stranded aluminum or copper conductors, ensuring reliable performance in power distribution, motor control, and control panel applications. The 3/8" bolt size provides robust mechanical strength, while the concentric design ensures consistent contact pressure across the conductor bundle. With a length of 2-5/8 inches and a pad measuring 3/4" wide x 1" long x 5/32" thick, the AL 2-38 is compatible with standard NEMA mounting configurations. The single hole (0.406" diameter) allows for easy installation with TQ, 45, 348, 163, 1/2, and 6A dies, ensuring versatility across multiple tooling systems. The barrel (59/64" OD) and outside diameter (17/32") are optimized for tight spaces, while the oxide inhibitor coating prevents corrosion and maintains long-term conductivity. The pink cap provides visual identification and protection during storage and handling. Ideal for panel builders, electricians, and maintenance teams requiring durable, code-compliant terminations.
