Burndy YA2C2LN 2 AWG Copper 2-Hole Compression Lug, Tin Plated
The Burndy YA2C2LN is a 2 AWG copper compression lug engineered for secure, code-compliant terminations in panel and switchgear applications. This HYLUG™ connector features a 2-hole mounting pad on 1.75" spacing and is available with a stud size of 1/2" or 3/8" depending on the option selected, giving installers flexibility to match existing hardware without switching connector families. The standard barrel is skived and chamfered for easy conductor entry during crimping, and every lug in this family carries a tin-plated (electro-plated) finish for corrosion resistance. Rated 90°C with a voltage rating up to 35kV and a 600V minimum rating, this connector is built to UL/CSA construction standards for reliable code conductor applications.

Burndy YA2C2LN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What die index do I set my crimper to for a Burndy YA2C2LN 2 AWG copper lug?
Die index 10, color coded Brown. Set that die in your compression tool before crimping the 2 AWG copper conductor into the barrel. The brown color code is the quick visual check on the die and the lug so a crew doesn't crimp with the wrong index.
2) Is the YA2C2LN sized for a 3/8 inch or a 1/2 inch stud?
Both are offered, and they are different part numbers. Order the 1/2 inch size for YA2C2LN, or the 3/8 inch size for YA28TC38. Same 2 AWG copper barrel either way, so pick by the bolt already in your bus or breaker pad rather than changing connector families.
3) How far apart are the two mounting holes on this Burndy 2 AWG two-hole lug?
Two mounting holes on 1.75 inch centers, with a pad width of 0.83 inch. That is the standard NEMA two-hole pattern, so it lands on a bus bar or equipment pad drilled for 1.75 inch spacing. Check your pad has 0.83 inch of clear width for the tongue.
4) How much insulation do I strip off 2 AWG before crimping this lug?
Strip 15/16 inch. The barrel bore is 0.42 inch outside diameter and the entry is skived and chamfered, so the stranded 2 AWG copper feeds in without birdcaging once the strip length is right. Barrel length is 7/8 inch, which is why the strip is slightly longer than the barrel itself.
5) Can I use this lug on aluminum conductor?
No. The YA2C2LN is a copper-bodied lug specified for 2 AWG copper conductor only. For aluminum or a dual-rated run you need an AL9CU listed connector instead. Using a copper-only lug on aluminum risks a bad termination and is outside what this part is rated for.
6) What voltage and temperature is this Burndy HYLUG rated for?
Rated to 35kV maximum with a 600V minimum rating, and good for 90 degrees C conductor temperature. That covers 600V panel and switchgear work as well as medium-voltage terminations up to 35kV, so the same lug serves both jobs.
7) Is this lug approved for Canadian work?
CSA approved, and built to UL/CSA electrical construction standards. Note it does not carry a cULus or ETL mark, so if your spec or AHJ demands a UL listing mark specifically rather than CSA, confirm that before you commit the run.
8) Is the tongue straight or offset, and how long is the whole lug?
Straight tongue, standard type, on a standard barrel. Overall length is 4.27 inches, about 108 mm. If your gutter or termination compartment is tight behind the bus, measure that 4.27 inches plus the bend radius of the 2 AWG before you order; an angled-tongue lug is the answer when the conductor has to turn.
9) What size bolt hole are the pad holes drilled for on the 1/2 inch version?
The pad holes measure 14 mm, which is the clearance hole for 1/2 inch hardware. So the 1/2 inch size takes 1/2 inch bolts or studs through the pad. If your equipment lands on 3/8 inch hardware, order the 3/8 inch size (YA28TC38) rather than drilling this pad out.
10) Can I use this for grounding and bonding a 2 AWG copper ground conductor?
Yes. Compression is a permanent mechanical and electrical termination, and the two-hole pad on 1.75 inch centers keeps a ground lug from rotating on the bus, which is exactly why two-hole pads are specified for grounding and bonding. Crimp with die index 10 on 2 AWG copper.
11) Will the tin plating hold up in a damp or outdoor enclosure?
The copper body is electro tin plated for corrosion resistance, which is the usual choice for exterior enclosures, damp locations and anywhere you are bolting copper to a dissimilar metal pad. Plating also keeps the bolted joint surface cleaner over time than bare copper.
