Overview

The Panduit SCS6-L Copper Compression Lug is a high-reliability termination solution designed for stranded copper conductors in industrial and commercial electrical systems. This standard-barrel lug features a color-coded barrel marked with Panduit and competitor die index numbers (P21, Burndy 49, T&B 21) to ensure proper crimp tool selection and consistency across installations. An integrated inspection window allows for quick visual confirmation of full conductor insertion, reducing installation errors and enhancing safety. The tin-plated copper construction provides superior corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments. Certified to UL standards and CSA requirements for 35kV applications, the SCS6-L is rated for continuous operation at 90°C when crimped with Panduit Uni-Die™ dieless crimping tools or specified competitor dies. It supports #8 AWG stranded copper conductors with a 1.50-inch overall length and 0.271-inch barrel diameter, requiring a 1.0625-inch wire strip length. The lug is UL Listed and CSA Certified for wide wire range-taking capability, making it a versatile choice for power distribution, renewable energy systems, and industrial machinery. Tested to Telcordia NEBS Level 3 standards and approved by the American Bureau of Shipping, the SCS6-L meets rigorous performance benchmarks for telecommunications, marine, and critical infrastructure applications. For applications exceeding 2000V, consult the cable manufacturer for voltage stress relief instructions. Manufactured in the USA, the SCS6-L delivers durable, code-compliant terminations with minimal maintenance requirements.

How to Install Copper Compression Connectors

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

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Copper compression connectors, Wire

  1. Select the appropriate connector

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

  2. Prepare the wire

    Strip the wire insulation 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 stops. Use the crimping tool to crimp the connector between the color bands or knurl markings, starting near the tongue end and moving towards the wire end.

  4. Inspect the crimp

    After crimping, check for any sharp edges, flash, or burrs on the connector and remove them if present.
