Overview

The ABB ATL6-14 Type ATL Aluminum One-Hole Lug is a high-conductivity compression connector engineered for terminating 6 AWG stranded copper or aluminum conductors in medium-voltage systems up to 35kV. Constructed from seamless aluminum tubing with a tin-plated finish, this lug delivers superior corrosion resistance and low contact resistance for long-term reliability in demanding electrical applications. Key specifications include a 1/4" bolt hole for secure attachment to bus bars, transformers, or switchgear, and a compact design optimized for space-constrained installations. The gray die color enables quick identification in panelboards or distribution cabinets, streamlining inventory and maintenance workflows. Pre-filled with oxide-inhibiting compound, the ATL6-14 mitigates oxidation at the conductor interface, ensuring consistent electrical performance across temperature cycles. Ideal for use in switchgear, motor control centers, renewable energy systems, and other medium-voltage applications, this lug meets industry standards for high dielectric strength and minimal voltage drop. Its aluminum construction provides lightweight durability while the tin plating ensures compatibility with both copper and aluminum conductors. Installation is simplified with standard hardware, reducing labor time and ensuring vibration-resistant connections. Part of ABB’s Installation Products line, the ATL6-14 is designed for indoor/outdoor use with appropriate protective enclosures. The chamfered barrel design facilitates easier conductor insertion, while the color-coded system aligns with industry standards for rapid die identification during installation and maintenance.

How to Install Aluminum Compression Lugs and Splices (Type ATL and ASP)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and correct installation of Type ATL and ASP aluminum compression lugs and splices on stranded, compressed, compact aluminum and copper conductors.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Wire brush (e.g., T&B catalog number WWB1), Crimping tool, Appropriate crimping dies

Supplies needed:

Aluminum compression lugs or splices (Type ATL or ASP), Aluminum or copper conductors, Oxide inhibitor (typically pre-applied in connector)

  1. Turn Off Power

    WARNING: ELECTRICAL HAZARD! Before starting any installation, ensure all power to the circuit is completely turned off to prevent electrical shock.

  2. Verify Connector and Cable Size

    Check the wire size marked on the aluminum connector (Type ATL or ASP) to ensure it is the correct connector for the actual cable size you will be using.

  3. Strip Cable Insulation

    Carefully strip the insulation from the cable, taking care to avoid damaging the conductor's strands during the process.

  4. Wire Brush Conductor

    Thoroughly wire brush the conductor side that will be inserted into the connector to remove any oxidation and ensure a clean contact surface. (A T&B catalog number WWB1 wire brush is recommended).

  5. Insert Conductor into Connector

    Fully insert the prepared conductor into the aluminum compression connector until it is seated completely.

  6. Crimp the Connector

    Refer to the 'Tool and Die Index' provided in the documentation. Select the appropriate tool and die combination for your cable size and crimp the connector the specified number of times. For splices, make the first crimp just outside the knurl on each side of the center and space subsequent crimps uniformly. For lugs, make the first crimp at the inner end of the barrel and space subsequent crimps uniformly along the barrel.

  7. Clean Excess Oxide Inhibitor

    Wipe off any excess oxide inhibitor that may have been displaced from the connector during the crimping process.
