Overview

The ABB SA 2-48 Aluminum One-Hole Lugs are precision-engineered connectors designed for secure, high-conductivity terminations in industrial and utility applications. These straight lugs accommodate a wire range from 1/0 solid to #2 ACSR and #2–#1 compressed/compact conductors, ensuring compatibility with common distribution systems. The SA 2-48 features a 1/2" bolt hole and a 3-1/8" length, with a pad measuring 55/64" wide x 1-5/16" long x 13/64" thick. The barrel diameter is 19/64", and the lug includes an oxide inhibitor for corrosion resistance. Dual-rated for both aluminum and copper conductors, it simplifies inventory management while maintaining reliability. Installation is compatible with dies TU, 52, BG, 243, 5/8, CSA 22, and 620, making it a versatile choice for field crews. The red cap indicates compliance with safety standards, and the compact design optimizes space in tight enclosures. Ideal for utility poles, switchgear, and panel boards where durable, low-resistance connections are critical.
