    Compression Lugs

    These lugs connect wire as large as 500 MCM in industrial feeder circuits, high-power service entrances, and other large systems. Squeeze the barrel tightly and evenly onto the wire with a compression tool for a permanent connection that stands up to heavy vibration, sudden shocks, and daily wear and tear. Compression lugs are a step up from set screw lugs when you need a physically strong connection, though set screw lugs attach to even larger wire.
    Single Crimp—Provides a secure enough grip for most jobs.
    Double Crimp—The choice for wire that’s frequently pulled, bent, or vibrated. Crimp the extended barrel in two places for an extra-strong grip on the wire.

    Offset Set Screw Lugs

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Terminals, Ferrules, and Lugs. Offset Set Screw Lugs, For 1 Wire.

    For 1 Wire

    Only the base with the screw hole attaches to the surface. The rest of the lug extends vertically, so you can insert or adjust the wire without your tools snagging on other connectors or components.
    Set screw lugs attach to even larger wire than compression lugs, such as the 1000 MCM building wire used in large factories. They're also easier to install and reusable because you cinch the wire with a set screw rather than crushing the barrel. They don't hold the wire as securely as compression lugs, however—use them when pulling and bending aren't a concern and you need to easily break your connection for maintenance or adjustments.
