Color-Keyed 54868BE – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Color Keyed 250 kcmil two hole long barrel lug bolt to a 1/2 inch stud pad?
Yes. The Color Keyed (Blackburn) 250 kcmil two hole long barrel lug, MPN 54868BE, is drilled for 1/2 inch studs on both holes, so it lands on standard 1/2 inch bus pads, breaker lugs, and ground bar studs. It is a two hole pad, so the mating surface has to have both studs at the lug's hole spacing, or you need a single hole lug instead.
2) What cable size does this yellow Color Keyed long barrel lug take?
It is sized for 250 kcmil conductor only. Color Keyed is a die-coded compression system, and the yellow color code identifies the 250 kcmil die for this lug, so the barrel will not accept 4/0 or 350 kcmil. Match the conductor to the lug, not the other way around.
3) Can I use this lug on a 15kV or 35kV shielded cable termination?
Yes, it carries a 35 kV rating, so it covers 600V, 5kV, 15kV, 25kV, and 35kV class terminations up to that limit. The long barrel gives the extra contact length typically wanted for medium voltage terminations where the lug sits inside a stress cone or termination kit.
4) Can I use this copper lug on aluminum conductor?
No. This is a copper lug for copper conductor. Aluminum cable needs an aluminum or dual rated AL9CU compression lug with the correct inhibitor compound, and the crimp die for an aluminum connector is different. Using a copper-only barrel on aluminum conductor is not a listed combination.
5) What is the difference between a long barrel lug and a standard barrel lug for 250 kcmil?
Long barrel means more crimp length, so you get additional compression crimps and more contact area with the conductor. That matters on high current feeders and medium voltage work where pullout strength and heat rise are the concern. A standard barrel 250 kcmil lug takes fewer crimps and is the usual choice for general 600V panel and switchgear terminations where space is tight. This one is the long barrel version, rated to 35 kV.
6) Is this lug insulated, and do I need separate tape or a boot?
No insulation on this one. The lug ships bare copper with no insulating sleeve, so the installer provides the tape, heat shrink, or termination kit insulation. On medium voltage work that insulation is part of the termination kit anyway.
7) Is this Color Keyed lug UL listed for a inspected commercial installation?
It is UL listed under file E9809, which is the listing an inspector or facility electrical spec will typically ask for on a compression connector. That makes it acceptable where the drawing calls for a listed compression lug.
8) Will this replace an existing Blackburn Color Keyed lug already on my feeders?
Yes, if the one coming off is a 250 kcmil two hole long barrel copper lug on 1/2 inch studs. 54868BE is the Blackburn Color Keyed part for that configuration, so it standardizes with the rest of a Color Keyed installation and uses the same 250 kcmil yellow die the crew already has.
9) Why is this 250 kcmil lug yellow, and does the color mean phase?
Yellow here is the Color Keyed die code, not a phase marking. In the Color Keyed system each conductor size has its own color so the installer can match the lug to the correct compression die and an inspector can see from the crimp that the right die was used. Some crews also use the color for phase organization on site, but the color is tied to the 250 kcmil size.
