Overview

The Panduit LAM2B dual-barrel lug, SKU LAM2LB1000-12-3, is engineered for reliable termination of two conductors in industrial applications. Constructed from high-strength, extruded aluminum alloy, this lug provides premium electrical and mechanical performance. The tin-plated finish effectively inhibits corrosion, ensuring longevity even in demanding environments. Designed with a wide wire range-taking capability, it accommodates conductor sizes from 500 to 1000 kcmil, minimizing inventory requirements for electrical contractors and maintenance professionals. This Type LAM2B lug features a dual barrel design, allowing for the termination of two separate conductors within a single connector. An inspection window is integrated to visually confirm full conductor insertion, enhancing installation reliability. The lug is equipped with a 1/2" (12.7mm) stud hole, compatible with NEMA hole sizes and spacing for standardized mounting. It is UL Listed and CSA Certified for use up to 600V and is temperature rated at 90°C. For optimal performance, the use of Panduit oxide inhibiting joint compound (CMP-100) is recommended for pad-to-pad and conductor connections. Manufactured in the USA, this lug offers a robust solution for power distribution and electrical infrastructure needs.

How to Install the LAM2LB1000-12-3 Aluminum Mechanical Connector

Instructions for installing the LAM2LB1000-12-3 aluminum mechanical connector, including wire preparation and mounting.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Wire brush, Abrasive cloth, Wrench

Supplies needed:

Joint compound CMP-100, Aluminum wire, Flat washer (plated, larger than compression washer)

  1. Prepare the Mounting Surface

    If the mounting surface is not plated, wire brush it. Coat the mounting surface with joint compound CMP-100.

  2. Prepare the Wire

    Strip the wire immediately prior to installation. Do not score the strands. Clean the wire with a wire brush or abrasive cloth. If using aluminum wire, immediately coat it with joint compound CMP-100.

  3. Assemble the Connector

    Place the compression washer with the cup side down. Ensure the flat washer (plated and larger than the compression washer) is placed on top of the compression washer. Verify the wire size is within the range stamped on the connector.

  4. Tighten the Nut

    Tighten the nut until the compression washer is flat. Refer to the torque chart for specific tightening torque specifications, as these vary by model.
