Overview

The Panduit SCL6-L Copper Compression Lug is a high-performance, UL Listed and CSA Certified connector designed for stranded copper conductors up to #6 AWG. This one-hole, standard barrel lug features a color-coded blue barrel with Panduit and competitor die index markings (P247/241) for precise crimp die selection, ensuring compatibility with Panduit Uni-Die™ dieless crimping tools and specified competitor tools. The integrated inspection window allows for visual verification of full conductor insertion, while the tin-plated finish provides superior corrosion resistance. Rated for 35 kV and 90°C operation, the SCL6-L meets Telcordia NEBS Level 3 requirements and is American Bureau of Shipping approved, making it ideal for critical power distribution, industrial, and telecommunications applications. The long barrel design maximizes crimp points for enhanced wire pull-out strength and electrical performance. With a wire strip length of 1.125 inches and a barrel O.D. of 0.312 inches, this lug is engineered for reliability in high-voltage environments where safety and durability are paramount. The SCL6-L Copper Compression Lug is constructed with a standard barrel, and its barrels are marked with both Panduit and specified competitor die index numbers, facilitating accurate crimp die selection. The inclusion of an inspection window is a key feature, allowing for visual confirmation of complete conductor insertion. The tin-plate material used in its construction serves to inhibit corrosion, ensuring long-term integrity. This lug is UL Listed and CSA Certified for use up to 35 KV and is temperature rated to 90 C.

How to Install Copper Compression Connectors

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

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Heat gun or propane torch

Supplies needed:

Copper compression connectors, Heat shrink tubing

  1. Select the correct connector

    Choose a connector that matches the wire size and material. Ensure you do not use copper connectors on aluminum wire.

  2. Strip the wire

    Use wire strippers to remove insulation from the wire to the length specified in the tool chart. Avoid nicking or damaging the conductor strands.

  3. Insert and crimp the connector

    Insert the stripped wire into the connector until it reaches the stop. Use a crimping tool to crimp the connector, following the color bands or knurl markings as a guide for even spacing.

  4. Inspect the crimp

    Check the crimped connector for sharp edges, flash, or burrs and remove any imperfections to ensure a safe connection.

  5. Prepare heat shrink tubing

    Cut the heat shrink tubing to a length that allows for adequate insulation coverage, ensuring at least 1.5 inches of overlap on the wire insulation.

  6. Apply heat shrink

    Position the heat shrink tubing over the crimped connector and apply heat using a heat gun or propane torch, moving from the crimped portion toward the insulated wire until the adhesive flows at the ends.
