Question 1

What is the difference between copper and aluminum cable lugs?

Accepted Answer

Copper lugs are used with copper conductors, while aluminum lugs are used with aluminum conductors. Copper-aluminum bimetal lugs safely connect copper to aluminum without galvanic corrosion.

Question 2

What does a tinned copper lug mean?

Accepted Answer

A tinned lug is coated with a thin layer of tin for enhanced corrosion resistance and improved contact, ideal for humid, coastal and high-temperature environments.

Question 3

How do I choose the right cable lug size?

Accepted Answer

Match the lug barrel to the conductor cross-section and select the hole size that fits the equipment stud. GGLDF provides lugs across common metric and AWG sizes.

Question 4

What are mechanical cable lugs?

Accepted Answer

Mechanical lugs (such as SCLL, SJLL and AUL) are installed with a screw or torque mechanism instead of crimping tools, enabling fast field installation.

Question 5

Do you supply custom cable lugs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GGLDF supports OEM/ODM customization of cable lugs including material, size, finish and hole configuration. Contact us for a quote.
