Blackburn SA 6-38 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Blackburn SA 6-38 lug accept?
The SA 6-38 is sized for #6 AWG stranded or compressed conductor, and #4 AWG compact or ACSR. It is a compression lug, so the barrel is crimped onto the conductor with a die-matched tool rather than tightened with a setscrew.
2) Can I use this lug on copper wire, or is it aluminum only?
The SA 6-38 is an aluminum-bodied lug with a bare, unplated surface. Aluminum-body compression lugs of this style are normally used on aluminum conductor; for copper runs, or for a dual-rated installation, specify a lug marked AL9CU. If you are terminating aluminum to a dissimilar-metal pad, plan on an inhibitor compound at the joint.
3) Does this Blackburn lug meet the connector standard our spec calls out?
It is built to ANSI C119.4, the standard for connectors used on electrical conductors. That is the reference most utility and commercial specs cite for compression connectors, so it satisfies a drawing note calling for C119.4 compliance.
4) How many bolt holes does the SA 6-38 have and how long is it?
One bolt hole, single-barrel, with an overall length of 3-1/8 inches. A one-hole tongue rotates on its bolt, so where torque or vibration could spin the lug on a bus or pad, step up to a two-hole pattern instead.
5) Is the SA 6-38 insulated, and do I need to cover the termination?
No insulation on it at all, and the finish is bare. The barrel and tongue are exposed metal, so any required covering (heat shrink, tape, or an insulating boot) has to be added separately in the enclosure or on the pad.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for the SA 6-38?
Yes. This is a compression lug, not a mechanical setscrew type, so it needs a hydraulic or battery crimper with the die that matches the barrel size for #6 conductor. There is no way to make this termination up with a wrench.
7) Are these lugs sold individually or in bags?
Sold each, one lug per unit, under model SA 6-38. If you are terminating both ends of a run or feeding a multi-pole disconnect, count the terminations and order that quantity.
8) Are Blackburn SA series lugs made in the USA?
Country of origin on the SA 6-38 is the United States, which is what a government or institutional buyer needs when a domestic-content clause applies to the material on the job.
