Overview

The NSI Industries GL2038B is a high-conductivity copper compression lug designed for flexible copper cables, specifically engineered for applications requiring robust and reliable connections. This short barrel lug, part of the GL-B Series, is ideal for demanding environments such as locomotive, welding, and mining operations. Its primary advantage lies in its specially flared end, which facilitates easy insertion of flexible and extra-flexible conductors, including DLO (Diesel Locomotive) cable types. This flared design also significantly reduces stress on the cable strands post-installation, preventing chafing and breakage that can occur due to cable movement. The GL2038B is tin-plated to ensure superior corrosion resistance and maintain low contact resistance over time. It is rated for 600V and is suitable for copper cables only. The lug features a peep hole for visual inspection, confirming complete cable insertion for a secure termination. With a wire range of 2/0 AWG to 4 AWG, and an expanded wire range of 2/0 AWG to 4 AWG when used with the NSI N12ID dieless compression tool, this lug offers versatility. The bolt size is 3/8". Key specifications include a barrel ID of 0.441", barrel OD of 0.563", a length (L) of 2.24", and a width (W) of 0.81". The distance from the end of the connector to the center of the mounting hole (A) is 0.472", with a tang length (B) of 0.721" and a barrel length (B1) of 0.630". The mounting hole diameter (E) is 0.413". This connector is UL486A Listed and cULus Listed (155027), with a temperature rating of 90°C. The NSI GL2038B is a critical component for ensuring the integrity and longevity of electrical connections in challenging industrial settings. SKU: GL2038B. Manufacturer: NSI Industries.

How to Install Copper Compression Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing copper compression connectors, ensuring secure and reliable electrical connections.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wire brush

Supplies needed:

Copper compression connectors, Cable

  1. Strip the conductor

    Carefully strip the insulation from the conductor without nicking the strands, ensuring the stripped length allows for complete insertion into the connector barrel.

  2. Clean the conductor

    Use a wire brush to clean the stripped portion of the conductor, removing any oxide films to ensure a good electrical connection.

  3. Insert the conductor

    Insert the cleaned and stripped conductor completely into the connector barrel, ensuring it fills the barrel fully.

  4. Crimp the connector

    Using the appropriate crimping tool, apply pressure to crimp the connector securely onto the conductor, following the manufacturer's suggested crimp locations.

  5. Verify the connection

    Inspect the crimped connection to ensure it is secure and that there are no visible gaps or loose strands.
