Burndy KA6U Aluminum Universal Terminal Lug, 1-Hole, Dual Rated

The Burndy KA6U is a 1-hole aluminum universal terminal lug engineered for dual Al/Cu conductor compatibility, accepting 14-6 AWG (Str) aluminum or copper wire. Featuring a 1/4" stud hole, a single screw termination point, and a durable tin-plated finish, this terminal lug delivers a secure, corrosion-resistant electrical connection for professional wiring applications where both aluminum and copper conductors need to be terminated to a single stud. Its universal Al/Cu rating means electricians can standardize on one terminal lug for mixed-conductor jobs instead of stocking separate aluminum-only and copper-only parts, simplifying panel and equipment terminations.

Key Features

  • Stud Size: 1/4" stud hole sized for standard 1-hole terminal lug mounting on panels, bus bars, ground bars, and equipment terminals.
  • Conductor Range: Accepts 14-6 AWG (Str) stranded conductors, giving installers flexibility across a wide range of branch-circuit and feeder wire gauges.
  • Dual Rated Al/Cu: Rated for use with both aluminum and copper conductors, eliminating the need to stock separate lugs by wire type and simplifying inventory for contractors.
  • Aluminum Body Construction: Aluminum terminal body provides a lightweight yet durable connector suited to demanding commercial and industrial electrical environments.
  • Tin-Plated Finish: Electro tin-plated surface resists corrosion and oxidation, helping maintain consistent, low-resistance conductivity at the termination point over the life of the installation.
  • Single-Screw Termination: 1-hole, 1-screw design simplifies installation and provides a secure, code-compliant mechanical connection to the mounting stud.

Technical Specifications

  • Conductor Range: 14-6-AWG
  • Plating: Electro Tin Plated

Typical Applications

  • Electrical Panel and Equipment Grounding Connections
  • Commercial and Industrial Wiring Installations
  • Aluminum-to-Copper Conductor Terminations
  • Motor Control Centers and Power Distribution Equipment
  • Ground Bar and Bus Bar Terminations
  • Renovation and New Construction Electrical Work

Why Burndy?

Burndy is a recognized name in electrical connectors and terminations, and the KA6U Universal Terminal Lug reflects that standard with its dual Al/Cu rating, aluminum construction, and corrosion-resistant tin-plated finish. Whether the run is aluminum or copper, this terminal lug is built to give electrical professionals a dependable, code-compliant single-hole termination point that holds up under real jobsite conditions. Stocking a dual-rated Burndy KA6U lug lets contractors standardize their terminal lug inventory instead of carrying separate aluminum-only and copper-only parts, saving time and reducing the risk of using the wrong connector on a given conductor type.

Burndy KA6U – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the Burndy KA6U terminal lug accept?
The KA6U takes 14 through 6 AWG stranded conductors, so one lug covers everything from small branch-circuit wire up to a 6 AWG feeder or ground. That range is why electricians can carry it as a single catch-all for panel and equipment terminations instead of a lug per gauge.
2) Can I use the KA6U on aluminum wire, or is it copper only?
Both. The KA6U is dual rated Al/Cu, so the same lug terminates aluminum or copper conductors in the 14-6 AWG range. On mixed-conductor jobs that means you are not sorting aluminum-only from copper-only parts on the truck.
3) I need to terminate 4 AWG, will the KA6U work?
No. The barrel is sized for 14 through 6 AWG stranded, so 4 AWG is too large to seat and torque properly. Move up to a Burndy lug rated for that conductor size rather than forcing it.
4) Is the Burndy KA6U a one-screw or two-screw lug?
One screw, one hole. A single set screw clamps the conductor and a single 1/4 inch stud hole bolts the tongue down. For larger feeders where installers want two points of contact, you would step up to a multi-screw or two-hole lug instead.
5) Will an aluminum-bodied lug hold up in a damp or corrosive panel location?
The KA6U body is aluminum with an electro tin plated surface, and the plating is what resists oxidation at the contact face so resistance stays low over time. Aluminum also keeps the lug light on ground bar and bus bar work.
6) Is the KA6U suitable for grounding connections on a panel or ground bar?
Yes. Grounding and bonding terminations on panels, ground bars, bus bars, and equipment studs are among its listed uses, along with motor control centers and power distribution gear. The 1/4 inch tongue hole and 14-6 AWG range cover typical equipment grounding conductor sizes.
7) Where do I find the torque and technical data for the Burndy KA6U?
Burndy publishes a KA6U spec sheet, hosted at hubbellcdn.com/specsheet/BRDY-KA6U-SPEC-EN.pdf, which is the document to reference for the manufacturer's detailed installation data. Order it by MPN KA6U.
