A-L series lugs angled 90° are manufactured from electrolytic copper tube. The dimensions of the tube are designed to obtain the most efficient electrical conductivity and mechanical strength to resist vibration and pull out.
Cembre lugs are annealed to guarantee optimum ductility
which is an absolute necessity for connectors which will have to withstand the severe deformation arising when compressed and any bending of the palm during installation.
In applications subject to vibration, terminals still have
to perform a reliable connection, annealing plays a
vital role in avoiding cracking or breaks between the barrel and palm. The presence of an inspection hole facilitates full insertion of the conductor, whilst the barrel length has been
designed to allow easy and accurate positioning of the dies during the crimping operation. Lugs are electrolytically tinplated to avoid oxidation.
