Blackburn SAKM 1-38 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn SAKM 1-38 meter socket lug accept?
The SAKM 1-38 takes #1 stranded or compressed conductor, and 1/0 solid or compact conductor. It is a compression lug, so the barrel is crimped onto the conductor with a die-type tool rather than tightened with a set screw.
2) Is the Blackburn SAKM 1-38 aluminum lug rated for both copper and aluminum conductors?
The SAKM 1-38 is an aluminum-body lug built to ANSI C119.4, the standard covering connectors for aluminum and copper conductors. Follow the conductor sizes it is listed for (#1 stranded/compressed, 1/0 solid/compact) and use the correct compression die for the conductor material you are landing.
3) Does this meter socket lug come insulated?
No. The SAKM 1-38 is a bare, uninsulated lug with no insulating sleeve or coating on the barrel. If the installation needs insulation over the crimp, you will have to add heat shrink or tape separately.
4) Should I use a compression lug or a mechanical set-screw lug in a meter socket?
A compression lug like the SAKM 1-38 is crimped permanently onto the conductor with a hydraulic or battery die tool, so there is no torque to re-check and nothing to back off over thermal cycling. A mechanical set-screw lug installs with a hex key and no special tooling, and can be reopened if the conductor is ever resized. If you do not own a die tool, the mechanical style is the practical choice; if the utility or inspector wants a permanent compression termination, this is the one.
5) Is the Blackburn SAKM 1-38 sold individually or in a bag?
Sold each. One lug per unit, so order the exact count of terminations the job needs.
6) Where is the Blackburn SAKM 1-38 lug made?
Made in the United States, which matters on public and federally funded work where domestic-origin material is required on the submittal.
