Overview

The ABB SA 1/0-38 Aluminum Compression One-Hole NEMA Lug is a UL-listed, CSA-certified connector designed for secure, high-conductivity terminations in industrial and utility applications. This lug accommodates 1/0 stranded aluminum (ACSR) and 2/0 compact conductors, providing a reliable transition point for power distribution systems. The 3-1/8 inch barrel length ensures proper compression and strain relief, while the 5/8 inch diameter hole accepts standard 3/8 inch bolts for mechanical fastening. The dual-rated design supports both aluminum and copper conductors, eliminating the need for separate part numbers and reducing inventory complexity. Compatible with ABB installing dies TU, 52, BG, 243, 5/8, and CSA22, this lug is optimized for use with industry-standard compression tools. The 57/64 inch wide x 1-5/16 inch deep x 7/32 inch thick pad provides a secure contact surface, and the yellow cap indicates proper installation verification. The oxide inhibitor coating prevents corrosion at the conductor-lug interface, ensuring long-term conductivity and reliability in outdoor or harsh environments. Typical applications include overhead and underground power distribution, substation connections, and industrial motor control centers where durable, low-resistance terminations are critical.
