Burndy KA8C Copper Mechanical Terminal Lug, 1-Hole

The Burndy KA8C is a compact copper mechanical terminal lug engineered for dependable one-hole connections in electrical distribution, control, and grounding applications. Machined from high copper alloy for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance, this terminal features a single-hole mounting pad sized for a #10 stud, letting installers secure it quickly to busbars, panels, and equipment terminals. The KA8C family is offered with two wire-range configurations — #14 - #6 AWG and #14 - #8 AWG — so electricians can select the option that matches their conductor size, from #14 AWG solid up through 6 AWG or 8 AWG stranded, without switching to a different lug body. The compact profile keeps installations tidy in crowded panels, enclosures, and equipment where space is limited, and the mechanical set-style design lets crews terminate conductors in the field without dedicated crimping tools or dies.

Key Features

  • Compact 1-Hole Design: Single-hole mounting pad accepts a #10 stud for quick, secure attachment to busbars, panels, and equipment terminals.
  • High Copper Alloy Construction: Delivers strong conductivity and corrosion resistance for a durable, low-resistance electrical connection over years of service.
  • Selectable Wire Range: Choose between #14 - #6 AWG or #14 - #8 AWG configurations, covering a broad span of branch-circuit and control wiring sizes across the KA8C family.
  • Mechanical Termination: Set-style mechanical connection allows field termination without specialized crimping tools or dies, saving setup time on the job site.
  • Compact Footprint: Space-saving body fits crowded panelboards, junction boxes, and equipment enclosures where clearance is tight.
  • Single-Conductor Terminal: Designed as a one-hole lug for straightforward, single-wire terminations on grounding and power connections.
  • Field-Ready Design: Straightforward one-hole, single-stud configuration simplifies inventory and installation for electrical contractors.

Burndy KPA8CTP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the Burndy KA8C mechanical lug take?
Two wire ranges are offered. The KA8C covers #14 through #8 AWG, and the KPA8CTP covers #14 through #6 AWG. Both handle solid or stranded copper conductors within their range, so pick the part number by the largest conductor you need to land rather than by the lug body.
2) Do I need a crimper or dies to install the Burndy KA8C?
No tooling beyond a screwdriver or hex key. It's a mechanical set-screw style lug, so the conductor is clamped rather than compressed. Crews can terminate in the field without a crimp tool, dies or a battery tool, which is the main reason to choose this over a compression lug on small service and control work.
3) Is the KA8C lug suitable for copper grounding conductors, or aluminum too?
It's a copper-only lug, machined from high copper alloy. Use it on copper grounding and bonding conductors, panelboard and motor control wiring. For aluminum or mixed copper/aluminum conductors you need a lug rated AL9CU; this one isn't offered that way.
4) Which Burndy part number do I order for a #6 AWG conductor?
Order the KPA8CTP. It's the #14 to #6 AWG version of the KA8C copper mechanical lug. The plain KA8C stops at #8 AWG, so a #6 conductor will not seat properly in it.
5) Can I land two conductors in one KA8C lug?
No. It's a single-conductor terminal, one wire per barrel, one hole on the pad. For two conductors under one terminal you need a two-conductor or dual-rated multi-barrel lug, not this one.
6) Is a mechanical lug like the KA8C or a compression lug the better choice for panel work?
For small branch-circuit and control conductors in #14 to #6 AWG, a mechanical lug like the KA8C is usually the practical pick: no tooling to bring, and it can be loosened and re-terminated if the wire has to be moved. Compression lugs make more sense on larger feeders, on high-vibration equipment, or where a spec calls for a crimped irreversible connection. Both land on the same #10 stud pad here.
7) Will the KA8C fit inside a crowded panelboard or junction box?
That's what the body is built for. The compact profile is intended for tight panelboards, junction boxes and equipment enclosures where bending space and clearance are limited, and the single #10 stud hole keeps the footprint on the bus small.
