Mechanical lug · 1-port 1-hole · 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG CU/AL · tin-plated aluminium · ILSCO TA2/0

What this product is for

This mechanical lug is used to terminate one copper or aluminium conductor onto equipment, bus, enclosure, or grounding and bonding points that accept a 1/4 in mounting stud or bolt. It is commonly selected for panel work, control equipment, service equipment, and other power distribution terminations.

Use for

Use for one conductor from 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG, where a dual-rated CU/AL lug is required. Suitable where a compact 1-hole lug is needed and where tin-plated aluminium helps support copper or aluminium conductor terminations.

Avoid for

Avoid using this lug where the conductor size falls outside the listed range, where a 2-hole lug is specified for added pad stability, or where the equipment manufacturer requires a different lug pattern, material, or torque value. Do not assume fitment by wire size alone; always confirm equipment clearance and listing requirements.

Best for

Best for electricians and contractors needing a field-installable mechanical termination for switchboards, panels, disconnects, grounding bars, and industrial equipment. This style is often chosen when crimp tooling is not preferred and when conductor range flexibility is useful on service and retrofit work.

Installed in

Typically installed in electrical panels, distribution equipment, control cabinets, wireways, troughs, and bonded metal enclosures in commercial, industrial, and institutional installations.

Why this product exists

It provides a straightforward bolted termination point for one conductor using a mechanical set-screw style connection. Compared with compression lugs, this type is commonly used where installation speed, serviceability, and conductor range flexibility matter.

Compared with similar products

Compared with a compression lug, a mechanical lug does not require a crimp die system and is commonly used for service, retrofit, and maintenance work. Compared with a 2-hole lug, this 1-hole style takes less mounting space but may be less suitable where pad rotation resistance is a priority. As typical trade guidance, confirm conductor preparation, oxide inhibitor practices where required, and final torque from the manufacturer or equipment label. Actual performance depends on installation conditions and local electrical code.
