Description
Termco Narrow Palm Copper Lugs
In short, Termco TCLNP Narrow Palm Copper Lugs, also commonly referred to as circuit breaker lugs, are designed for copper cable terminations where the available connection area is narrower than a standard cable lug palm.
As a result, the reduced palm width makes the TCLNP range particularly useful for circuit breakers, switchgear and other electrical equipment where terminal spacing or equipment geometry prevents the use of a conventional full-width copper lug.
Overall, Engineering Supplies stocks the Termco TCLNP range for copper conductors from 35mm² to 300mm², with stud sizes from 6mm to 12mm depending on conductor size.
Narrow Palm Lug Applications
For instance, narrow palm copper lugs are commonly used for:
- Circuit breaker terminations
- Switchgear connections
- Switchboard installations
- Restricted terminal spaces
- Industrial electrical equipment
- Power distribution equipment
- Applications where a standard copper lug palm is too wide
In practice, the narrower palm allows the lug to fit equipment terminals without unnecessarily reducing the conductor size or modifying the equipment connection point.
Termco TCLNP Size Range
Specifically, the current TCLNP range includes conductor sizes:
- 35mm²
- 50mm²
- 70mm²
- 95mm²
- 120mm²
- 150mm²
- 185mm²
- 240mm²
- 300mm²
Available stud sizes include:
- 6mm
- 8mm
- 10mm
- 12mm
Notably, palm widths vary by lug size, with the current range using widths of approximately 15mm, 17mm, 19mm and 31mm.
Key Features
- Narrow palm design for restricted termination spaces
- Suitable for circuit breaker connections
- Copper compression lug construction
- Electro-tinned finish
- Multiple conductor and stud-size combinations
- Available from 35mm² to 300mm²
- Designed for use with compatible Australian-style crimping tooling
- Suitable for switchboard, industrial and power distribution applications
Selecting the Correct Narrow Palm Lug
Specifically, select the lug according to:
- Copper conductor size
- Stud size
- Maximum available palm width
- Equipment terminal geometry
For example, TCLNP50-10 suits a 50mm² copper conductor with a 10mm stud, and has a 19mm overall palm width.
In every case, where equipment terminal space is restricted, always confirm that the lug palm dimensions suit the breaker, switchgear or connection point before installation. The correct crimping die and approved crimping tool should also be used for the selected conductor and lug size.
