Overview

The nVent TBL400 is a UL-listed, dual-rated aluminum lug assembly designed for 400-amp applications. It securely accommodates copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 4 AWG to 600 MCM. Constructed from durable 6061T-6 aluminum alloy, this lug features electro-tin plating to ensure low contact resistance and enhanced corrosion resistance, promoting longevity and reusability. The stacked wire hole configuration minimizes the overall width of the assembly, making it ideal for space-constrained electrical panels and enclosures. Key specifications include a maximum torque value of 500 in-lbs, a temperature rating of 90°C, and a maximum voltage rating of 600V (2000V per UL486B). It is certified to UL486A/B and CSA 70142 standards, confirming its reliability and safety. The assembly includes a 3/8" mounting bolt and a hex wrench for installation. With a tang length of 0.725" and a tang thickness of 0.312", the TBL400 is engineered for robust tap feeder applications. It is suitable for use in terminal boxes, panelboards, switchgear, and various enclosures requiring dependable, low-resistance electrical connections. Applications span power distribution in manufacturing plants, data centers, renewable energy systems, and critical infrastructure projects.
