Scotchlok
30000 Series
Data Sheet
1. Product Description
Scotchlok
consist of a series of terminal lugs from 6
AWG through 1,000 kcmil (MCM) de-
signed for terminating copper conductors.
Each lug is tin plated to resist corrosion and
can be installed with standard industry tool-
ing. Chamfered ends ensure ease of inser-
tion and closed end barrels exclude mois-
ture.
The Scotchlok lugs consist of a series of
one-hole lugs from 6 AWG through 4/0,
one-hole long-barreled lugs from 2/0
through 500 kcmil and two-hole long-bar-
reled lugs from 4/0 through 1,000 kcmil.
The lug features are:
— One-piece, seamless tin-plated copper.
— Simple application using readily
— Chamfered ends for ease of conductor

3. Data
Physical and Electrical
The Scotchlok 30000 series copper lugs,
crimped with approved die sets, can be used
on cables with a rated operating temperature
of 90 C and an emergency overload rating
of 130 C.
The lugs pass the requirements of UL 486A,
Underwriters Laboratories standards for
safety. The current rating of these lugs meets
or exceeds the current rating of the conduc-
tor size for which it is intended.

4. Specifications
Product
Lugs must be constructed of seamless cop-
per and tin plated according to ASTM
B454–71, Class Cu/Sn8. They must be
available in one-hole standard-barreled
lengths from No. 6 AWG through 4/0, one-
hole long-barreled lengths from 2/0 through
500 kcmil (MCM) and two-hole long-bar-
reled lengths from 4/0 through 1,000 kcmil.
The lugs when crimped with the approved
die sets must have a current-carrying capac-
ity equal to the conductors for which they
are rated.

Engineering/Architectural
Lugs shall be crimped with one of the ap-
proved die sets according to the engineering
information supplied with the connectors.
(See Crimping Tool and Die Set Table). All
terminations of copper stranded wires in
sizes 6 AWG through 1,000 kcmil shall be
made electrically and mechanically secure
with Scotchlok Copper Compression Lugs.
The lugs must have a current-carrying ca-
pacity equal to the conductors they are rated
for and must also meet the requirements as
listed in U.L. 486A test standards.
