Overview

The ABB SAKM 2/0-48 Aluminum Meter Socket Lug is a precision-engineered termination solution for residential and commercial electrical installations. Designed for 1/2" bolt mounting, this lug accommodates 2/0 AWG stranded compressed or 3/0 AWG compact solid aluminum conductors, with dual-rated compatibility for copper conductors. The 3-1/8" length barrel ensures stable mechanical connection, while the 9/16" diameter one-hole pad provides secure attachment to meter sockets or panels. The 1-9/32" long x 1/4" thick pad and 1-3/4" barrel dimensions align with standard meter socket configurations, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure. The included oxide inhibitor prevents corrosion at the conductor interface, maintaining long-term conductivity. Installation is simplified with compatible dies (840, 845, TX, 76, 249, 11A), reducing setup time in field applications. The gray cap identifies the lug as aluminum-rated, preventing cross-use with copper-only components. This lug is ideal for utility metering, service panels, and load centers where reliable, code-compliant terminations are critical. The UNSPSC code 39121409 confirms its classification for electrical connectors and terminations.
