Cable Lugs & Terminals

Choose cable lugs and terminals by the complete connection—not by the wire size alone. This range brings together cable lugs, ring terminals, terminal kits, protective lug covers and selected crimping tools for repair, control wiring, battery, welding and mobile-service work.

Match conductor, stud and terminal type

Confirm the conductor cross-section, terminal bore or stud size, insulation style, material and the connection method before ordering. A lug that fits the cable may still be wrong if its mounting hole does not suit the stud or if the required crimping method is different. For heavy cable and welding applications, check the stated cable size and hole size on each product page.

Installation guidance

Prepare cable with the correct cutting and stripping tool, follow the lug or terminal manufacturer’s crimping guidance, and inspect the finished connection before energising equipment. Use insulating covers or heat-shrink products only where they are suitable for the installation. Do not use a terminal outside its published electrical or mechanical limits.

Cable Lugs & Terminals FAQs

How do I choose the correct cable lug?

Match the stated cable size and the mounting-hole or stud size, then confirm the material and intended application. Where the cable or equipment is critical, follow the equipment and connector manufacturer’s instructions rather than relying on an appearance match.

Can I crimp any lug with any crimper?

No. The crimping tool, die profile and lug design must be compatible. Use the manufacturer’s recommended crimp method and inspect the completed connection for correct compression and secure cable retention.

Do lug covers replace proper insulation?

No. Covers protect an appropriate completed connection when used as intended; they do not correct a poorly selected or improperly crimped terminal. Make the connection safe and mechanically sound before fitting any protective cover.
