Overview

The ABB HLB 6181 is a precision-engineered tin-plated copper bail designed for high-reliability electrical connections in industrial and commercial applications. Constructed from #2 solid copper with a 0.250-inch diameter, this C-Type bail features diamond knurling for enhanced grip and silver brazing on both sides for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. The bail measures 6 inches wide by 4 inches high, with a 3-inch knurled section on the solid side and 2.5-inch knurled sections on each silver-brazed side, ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments. Ideal for grounding, bonding, and electrical panel applications, the HLB 6181 provides a durable and low-resistance connection. Its tin plating offers excellent solderability and protection against oxidation, while the copper core delivers high conductivity. The diamond knurling ensures a secure mechanical grip when paired with compatible fasteners, reducing the risk of loosening over time. Compatible with standard #2 solid wire and widely used in switchgear, control panels, and industrial machinery, this bail is a cost-effective solution for ensuring electrical integrity. The ABB HLB 6181 meets industry standards for conductivity and mechanical strength, making it a trusted choice for engineers and technicians requiring reliable performance in harsh conditions.
