Overview

The Panduit LAB1/0-12-L is a high-conductivity, thick-wall wrought aluminum two-hole compression connector lug designed for reliable terminations in harsh environments. This lug features an enclosed barrel to prevent corrosive materials from entering, ensuring long-term performance. For ease of use and to prevent corrosion, it is factory pre-filled with joint compound and sealed with an easy pull-out end plug. The color-coded barrel system includes markings with both Panduit and specified competitor die index numbers, simplifying proper crimp die selection. Constructed from high conductivity thick wall aluminum and tin-plated to inhibit corrosion, the LAB1/0-12-L offers superior electrical and mechanical properties. It is cULus listed for use up to 35kV and temperature rated to 90°C when crimped with Panduit and specified competitor tools. This lug is available with NEMA hole sizes and spacing, accommodating stranded aluminum or copper code conductors. The specific conductor size for this model is 500 kcmil. Key dimensions include a 1/2" (13.5 mm) stud hole size and a 1-3/4" (44.5 mm) stud hole spacing. The barrel length is 3" (76.2 mm) and the overall length is 7.31" (185.7 mm). The wire strip length is 3-1/16" (77.7 mm), and the color code is Pink, with a Panduit Die Index Number of P99. The LAB1/0-12-L is manufactured in the USA. Ensure proper voltage stress relief instructions are consulted for applications greater than 2000V.

How to Install Aluminum Compression Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for properly installing aluminum compression connectors for electrical wiring.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Heat gun or propane torch, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Aluminum compression connectors, Heat shrink tubing, Belleville spring washers, Anti-oxidation compound, Mounting screws

  1. Prepare the wire

    Strip the wire insulation to the length specified on the tool chart. Ensure not to nick or damage the conductor strands.

  2. Clean the wire

    Use a wire brush to remove any oxide film from the stripped wire to ensure a good electrical connection.

  3. Insert wire into connector

    Insert the stripped wire into the aluminum compression connector until it reaches the stop. Ensure a secure fit.

  4. Crimp the connector

    Using the appropriate crimping tool, crimp the connector evenly in the designated crimp zone. Follow the tool chart for the required number of crimps.

  5. Inspect the connection

    Check the crimped connection for sharp edges, flash, or burrs, and remove any imperfections.

  6. Apply heat shrink tubing

    Cut the heat shrink tubing to the desired length, ensuring at least 1.5 inches of overlap on the wire insulation. Shrink the tubing using a heat gun or propane torch.

  7. Secure the connection

    For a secure bolt connection, use Belleville spring washers. Clean the mounting surfaces and apply anti-oxidation compound before tightening the bolt to the recommended torque.
