Cable lugs - the right solution for every connection
In the EMC Direct online store you will find a comprehensive range of cable lugs and cable connectors that are specially tailored to industrial requirements. We offer you a variety of designs, sizes and insulation types - from standard solutions to specialized variants for demanding environments.
-
Ring cable lugsideal for screw connections: The closed ring makes these cable lugs particularly safe and vibration-resistant - e.g. in distribution boards, control cabinets or on the vehicle chassis.
-
Fork cable lugs: Quick to install and remove: The open fork makes it easy to insert and remove screw connections without complete disassembly - perfect for maintenance applications.
-
Tubular cable lugs: For large conductor cross-sections in the high-current range: With robust wall thickness and large contact surface, they offer maximum conductivity with high mechanical load capacity - ideal for industrial and power distribution applications.
-
Compression cable lugsthese particularly robust cable lugs are connected to the conductor using hydraulic or mechanical crimping tools. They are specially designed for high current loads and permanent, low-resistance connections.
-
Spade connectors & receptaclesstandardized connectors for a wide range of applications - suitable for both insulated and non-insulated applications.
-
Round plugs & round receptaclescompact plug connections with a secure hold, for example in the automotive sector or for mobile devices.
How are cable lugs fitted correctly?
The professional installation of cable lugs is crucial for a secure and conductive connection. The assembly process involves several steps and should be carried out using suitable tools - in particular a suitable crimping tool that is matched to the respective cable lug type and cross-section.
Preparing the conductor
First, the insulation of the cable is removed to the required length - usually about as long as the insertion area of the cable lug. Care must be taken to ensure that the strands are not damaged or cut off.
Inserting the conductor
The stripped wire is pushed completely into the shaft of the cable lug until the copper conductor is visible at the end (for open versions). With insulated cable lugs, the insertion depth is limited by the insulating sleeve.
Crimping with crimping pliers
The most important step is crimping - the mechanical crimping of the conductor and cable lug. Special crimping tools are used for this, which, depending on the design, create a gas-tight connection. For industrial applications, crimping pliers with color-coded inserts or crimping jaws should be used to apply the standardized pressure precisely to the cable lug.
Checking the connection
After crimping, the hold must be checked: The cable must no longer be able to be pulled out of the cable lug. A visual check also ensures that no strands are protruding and that the insulation has not been damaged.
For uninsulated cable lugs, an additional shrink sleeve can be pulled over the connection to ensure mechanical protection and better insulation - especially for outdoor applications or in damp environments.
Tools for cable lugs
At EMC Direct you will not only find cable lugs, but also the right accessories for safe installation:
-
Crimping pliers & crimping toolsfor a secure connection, the cable lug must be crimped precisely to the conductor. Our Crimping pliers enable a permanent contact with optimum frictional connection - for both insulated and non-insulated models.
-
Hydraulic crimping tools: For large cross-sections (e.g. for tubular cable lugs from 16 mm²) we recommend hydraulic crimping pliers - ideal for industrial applications with high current loads.
-
Stripping pliers & assembly accessories: We also offer the right equipment for cable preparation - for precise Stripping without damaging the wire and for quick, clean assembly.
All tools and cable lugs in our range are compatible with each other and comply with current standards and DIN specifications. This ensures that your connection works reliably in the long term - whether for 12 V, 230 V or industrial high-current applications.
