Blackburn LAC6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn LAC6 compression lug take?
The LAC6 is sized for #6 AWG stranded or #5 AWG solid conductor. Blue is the color code for that die/size on Blackburn aluminum compression terminals, so if you are crimping #6 stranded aluminum or copper-clad run, this is the right barrel. A #4 or #8 conductor needs a different lug, not a different die on this one.
2) Is the LAC6 terminal lug rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes. The LAC6 carries a 600 V rating with a 90 C conductor temperature rating, which covers typical branch circuit and feeder terminations in panelboards, disconnects and motor connections. Match it to 90 C rated conductor insulation to use the full temperature rating.
3) Do I need a crimp tool for the Blackburn LAC6, or can it be set with a screw?
It is a compression terminal, not a mechanical set-screw lug, so it has to be crimped with a compression tool and the correct die. If your crew does not carry a hydraulic or battery crimper on the truck, a set-screw mechanical lug in the same #6 range is the easier choice for that job.
4) Can I use an aluminum compression lug like the LAC6 on copper conductor?
The LAC6 is an aluminum-bodied compression terminal. Aluminum compression lugs of this type are commonly listed AL9CU for both aluminum and copper, but that dual rating has to be confirmed on the lug barrel marking or the manufacturer's listing for the specific part before you terminate copper with it. What is on record here is that the body is aluminum, bare finish, and the barrel is sized for #6 stranded.
5) What does the slotted tang on the LAC6 mean for bolting it down?
A slotted tang gives you a lengthwise slot rather than a fixed round hole, so the lug will slide on the stud or bolt and tolerate some variation in bolt size and hole spacing on a bus bar, ground bar or breaker pad. That is the practical difference from a one-hole lug: you get adjustment during landing instead of needing an exact hole match.
6) Is the LAC6 insulated, or do I need to tape or boot the termination?
No insulation on it. The LAC6 ships bare with no sleeve or jacket, so anywhere you need the barrel covered you add heat shrink, a boot, or tape yourself. Inside a grounded enclosure with proper clearances that is usually a non-issue.
7) Is the LAC6 sold individually or in a bag?
Sold each, so you order the exact count you need for the terminations on the job rather than a fixed carton.
8) What is the exact part number and country of origin for this Blackburn #6 lug?
Manufacturer part number LAC6, made in Mexico. Distributors ordering to a spec sheet should quote LAC6 plus the #6 stranded / #5 solid wire range to avoid landing the adjacent size.
