Overview

The Panduit LAB2/0-12-5 Aluminum Compression Connector Lug is a two-hole, high-conductivity thick-wall aluminum lug designed for reliable electrical connections in harsh environments. Engineered for stranded aluminum or copper code conductors (500-750 kcmil), this lug features a factory pre-filled joint compound and sealed end plug to inhibit corrosion and ensure long-term performance. The enclosed barrel design prevents corrosive materials from entering, making it ideal for outdoor, industrial, or underground applications where moisture and contaminants are present. Key specifications include a cULus listing up to 35kV and a temperature rating of 90°C when crimped with Panduit or specified competitor tools. The lug is tin-plated to further inhibit corrosion and features color-coded barrel markings with Panduit and competitor die index numbers (P99 for 500 kcmil, P106 for 600 kcmil, P125 for 750 kcmil) for proper crimp die selection. NEMA hole sizes and spacing are available to ensure compatibility with standard mounting hardware. For applications exceeding 2000V, consult the cable manufacturer for voltage stress relief instructions. The LAB2/0-12-5 is part of Panduit's Pan-Lug™ series, known for its durability and ease of installation. Order in standard packaging quantities of 24 units per box.

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.
