Cable lugs

Cable lugs play a very important role. They are used for crimping on wires. Of course, it is worth choosing the highest quality models that meet strict standards. Products available at the Onninen wholesaler are an excellent choice. All products are made of certified materials. We can offer various types, from connectors, through connectors to sleeves.

How to choose a cable lug?

The cable lug is selected based on its application, as well as the cross-section of the material or the type of wire. Its future use must be taken into account, but also its cross-section. Remember also that you must take into account whether the electrical installation is aluminum or copper. The choice of the crimping tool itself is determined by the manufacturer and its recommendations must be strictly followed. Finding a good cable lug does not have to be difficult. However, you must remember that the market for wires and cables is developing very quickly, so you should select lugs taking into account the shape and structure of the wires. There are single-wire round wires, as well as multi-wire ones. The sector wire is also worth attention. The size of the lug cannot be too large, as this can cause problems with crimping on the wire. You should also pay attention to the length of the sleeve. Variants are available from 6 mm to 25 mm. The material is also important. You can opt for aluminum models, which are very light and resistant to corrosion. Those made of a combination of aluminum and copper are also available. Brass cable lugs are heavy but also very durable. Another important aspect is the type of construction of the lug. Not only standard versions are available, but also double sleeve lugs. If you want the lug to be particularly durable, you can choose one whose surface is protected by tinning. Thanks to this, it is resistant to changing conditions, but also pressure. You can buy a model in a raw state or without coating. Cable lugs can have insulation, but variants without insulation are also available.

How to crimp cable lugs?

Crimping cable ends is not difficult. It can be done very precisely and in a short time. During the crimping process, the cable cores are first closed in the crimp sleeve. This applies to stranded cables. In the case of closed sleeves, however, they must be pushed onto the stripped ends. Open crimp sleeves are also very often used. In this case, the cable ends must be stripped of insulation and then inserted into the sleeve. Insertion into the mounting field can take only a moment. At the very end, all that is needed is to use a crimping tool. This will ensure that the wire is clamped more tightly inside the terminal.

Why choose cable lugs from Onninen?

All products available in the Onninen wholesaler are of high quality and can be purchased at a very affordable price. We make every effort to ensure that the ordered products arrive as quickly as possible. When buying larger quantities, you can count on even better prices. We recommend, among others, ERKO brand products. You can choose, for example, a pipe terminal bent at an angle of 45 degrees, which has a ring shape. Its nominal cross-section is 120 mm2. Another great model is a narrowed pipe terminal, which is easy and quick to install. It is used to connect switchgear. We can also recommend tinned terminals, which comply with the DIN 46235 standard. They are resistant to mechanical damage. The galvanically tinned copper used does not corrode. It is also resistant to high pressure. Of course, an insulated sleeve is also a great choice, which is available in various colors. Its thermal durability is really high and ranges from minus 40 degrees to 125 degrees Celsius.
