Designed to make cable entry as easy as possible. Each cable crimp lug in our range is manufactured with bell-mouthed entry to assist in simple cable insertion and an inspection hole to ensure the correct cable placement and therefore maximise the crimp performance and tensile strength of every terminal.
Crimp terminals, crimp lugs, and butt splices are manufactured with electro-plated tinned copper with conductivity to 97% IACS specified to BS 1872 which has a pure grade copper base specified to BS 2871.
Features of our copper tube terminals range:
Finish: Electro tinned
Copper conductivity to 97% IACS
Copper tube double annealed
All terminals up to 240mm² will have bell mouth cable entrance
Working temperature up to 180°C (Standard)
Working temperature with nickel plating up to 350°C (Special)

Crimping is the process of connecting two pieces of metal or another ductile material by deforming one or both to hold the other in place. The crimp is the term for the bend or malformation.
What are Crimping Lugs?
Crimping lugs are connectors that link cables to other cables, surfaces, or machinery. Crimping lugs include the clamps that connect wires to an automotive battery, as well as the ends of battery jumper cables. Lugs are commonly employed when permanent, direct-fastening methods are not practical or essential. They are designed to be quickly placed and removed for repairs or maintenance.
Where are Crimping Lugs found?
Automobile wiring systems, electrical boxes, machinery, household appliances, electronics, and other durable goods all use crimping lugs. To avoid the unintentional passage of electricity to people or surrounding electrical components, lugs are often insulated with rubber or plastic.
What should you consider before crimping cable?
It is important to take precaution when cutting the wire conductors to prevent uneven stripping length and insufficient cutting of the cable. It is also important to not excessively twist the cable strands.
