Overview

The ABB SAM 400 NTN is a tin-plated aluminum compression lug designed for reliable terminations of aluminum and copper conductors in industrial and utility applications. This lug accommodates wire ranges from 336.4 kcmil (30/7) to 500 kcmil compact, including 397.5 kcmil (18/1) ACSR, ensuring compatibility with medium to large conductor sizes. The two-hole NEMA pad design allows secure mounting with a 1/2" bolt, providing mechanical stability in high-vibration environments. Key dimensions include a pad width of 1-3/4", length of 3-19/32", and thickness of 29/64". The barrel length measures 3-13/16", with an overall length of 8-29/64". The lug features two 9/16" diameter holes on a 1-3/4" center, optimized for standard bolt patterns. Installation requires dies 106, 300, 317, 1 5/16, 14A, or 15A, ensuring compatibility with common compression tools. The tin plating provides corrosion resistance, while the oxide inhibitor enhances long-term conductivity and prevents degradation in harsh conditions. The green cap (included) indicates proper installation and protects the connection from contaminants. This lug is ideal for overhead and underground power distribution, substations, and industrial motor controls where reliable, low-resistance terminations are critical.
