Littelfuse, Inc. Wire Connector Lug Assembly WCL009

Wire connector lug assemblies offer a safe, convenient way of splicing cables, providing a fixed junction tap-off point or splitting primary power into secondary circuits. Typical applications include heating, air conditioning and refrigeration systems, elevator systems, material handling equipment, control panels, motor controls, switchgear, and anywhere power needs to be distributed to more than one load. Box lug connectors are designed for use with a single or multiple, solid or class B or C stranded conductor. For UL approved use of more than one conductor per connector opening, contact Littelfuse Technical Service. Manufacturers of cable terminations can furnish crimp-on sleeves for fine stranded conductors which permit these conductors to be used with box lugs. The wire connector lug assembly ampere rating is based on the line ampacity of 75 °C insulated conductors per NEC* Table 310.16. If 60°C insulated conductors are used, load must not exceed the ampacity of 60 °C conductors. Use of conductors rated in excess of 75 °C is permitted (for example 90 °C), however, load must not exceed the ampacity of 75 °C conductors.
