Cable lugs and glands: what to specify

The details that decide the right lug and gland for a termination.

Cable lugs

  • Conductor size in sq mm
  • Material: copper, aluminium or bi-metallic (aluminium cable onto a copper terminal)
  • Stud or hole size of the terminal
  • Type: ring / tubular, pin, fork
  • Crimping method available on site

Cable glands

  • Cable outer diameter (and armour diameter for armoured cable)
  • Single compression (unarmoured) or double compression (armoured)
  • Material: brass, nickel-plated brass or nylon
  • Entry thread size of the panel or box

For mixed cable schedules, send the schedule itself. Lugs and glands can then be matched line by line to each cable size.
