Color-Keyed 54872BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What cable size does the Color Keyed 54872BE copper compression lug take?
It is sized for 350 kcmil copper conductor, one conductor per lug. The barrel is die-indented onto the cable, so you need the crimp die matched to the red color code to get a listed connection. Part number is 54872BE.
2) Will this lug bolt to a 1/2 inch stud bus bar?
Yes. The two-hole pad is drilled for 1/2 inch studs or bolts, giving two mounting points instead of one so the lug cannot rotate on the bar under cable weight or fault torque.
3) What voltage can these Color Keyed compression lugs be used at?
Rated 35 kV, so they cover medium-voltage work in substations, utility feeders and industrial distribution as well as ordinary 600 V panel terminations.
4) Can I use a copper compression lug like this on aluminum conductor?
No. This is a copper-bodied lug for copper conductor. Aluminum cable needs an aluminum or dual-rated AL9CU connector, and mixing copper barrel on aluminum conductor is not a listed connection.
5) Is a long-barrel lug different from a standard-barrel lug, and when do I need one?
The longer barrel gives more compression contact length along the conductor, which means more crimps and a stronger mechanical grip. That matters on large conductors like 350 kcmil where cable weight and pull-out force are real, and on medium-voltage terminations. A standard short-barrel lug is fine for smaller conductors and light duty, but it will not give you the same contact area.
6) Do these lugs come insulated or do I need to add heat shrink?
Bare copper, no insulation on the lug itself. Any insulating or sealing over the barrel and pad, heat shrink or tape, has to be supplied separately as part of your termination kit.
7) Are these lugs UL listed for an inspected installation?
They carry UL file E9809, which is what an inspector will look for on a medium-voltage termination. Listing holds only when the lug is crimped with the matching color-keyed die.
8) What does the red color coding on Blackburn Color Keyed lugs mean?
Red is the die index for this connector, not a phase marking. It tells the installer which crimp die and die cavity to use on the tool so the compression matches what was tested. The system is sold under the Color Keyed / Blackburn label.
9) How many 350 kcmil conductors can I land on one of these lugs?
One. It is a single-conductor 350 kcmil barrel with a two-hole flat pad on the other end. If you need to land two cables on one point, use two lugs stacked on the bar or a two-conductor connector instead.
