Overview

The NSI Industries L238 is a high-conductivity copper compression lug designed for reliable electrical connections. Manufactured from premium copper tubing, this lug ensures excellent conductivity and durability. It features a tin-plated finish, which significantly reduces contact resistance and provides superior corrosion protection, crucial for maintaining connection integrity over time. The long barrel design offers increased surface area for a more secure and robust crimp, minimizing the risk of pull-out and ensuring long-term performance. This lug is specifically engineered for 2 AWG wire and accommodates a 3/8" bolt size, making it suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. It is marked with a clear die index and color-coded (Brown for this specific model, as indicated by the catalog data for L238), facilitating easy identification and ensuring the correct tooling is used during installation. Proper installation is key, and this lug is listed for 35KV maximum voltage applications when installed according to cable manufacturer instructions. It also carries a temperature rating of 90°C, allowing it to perform reliably in demanding thermal environments. Key specifications include its UL486A listing for wire connectors and UL467 listing for grounding and bonding (for applicable wire ranges). The maximum ampacity should be determined based on NEC 310.15, insulation type, and conductor material, with a standard voltage rating of 600V. For applications exceeding 2000V, consult the cable manufacturer's voltage stress relief instructions. The L238 is designed for Class B or C building wire CU cable only. Its robust construction and adherence to industry standards make it a dependable choice for critical power distribution and grounding systems.
