Blackburn CTL10L-516 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CTL10L-516 compression lug take?
The CTL10L-516 is sized for 1/0 AWG conductor. It is a one hole, long barrel copper compression lug, so the barrel is crimped onto the cable rather than set-screwed. Using it on anything other than 1/0 AWG will not give you a proper compression.
2) Can I use this copper lug on aluminum conductor?
No. The CTL10L-516 is a copper-bodied compression lug and is intended for copper conductor. For aluminum or dual-rated runs you need an AL9CU marked connector instead.
3) What does the pink color on this Blackburn lug mean?
Pink is the die color code for this lug. It tells the installer which crimp die and die index to set in the compression tool, and it lets an inspector confirm from across the room that the right die was used on 1/0 AWG copper.
4) Why choose a long barrel lug over a standard barrel one?
The long barrel takes two crimps instead of one, which gives more contact area and better pullout resistance on the conductor. Contractors and utility crews specify long barrel where the termination is under mechanical stress or where the spec calls for a two-crimp connection. A standard barrel is fine for a short, supported run inside an enclosure.
5) Do I need a special tool to install the Blackburn CTL10L-516?
Yes, this is a compression lug, not a mechanical set-screw connector. It has to be crimped with a hydraulic or battery compression tool using the die that matches the pink code for 1/0 AWG copper. No tool, dies, or mounting hardware come with the lug itself.
6) Is the CTL10L-516 sold individually or in a bag?
It sells as a single lug, one each. If you are terminating a three-phase feeder plus neutral and ground, order the count you need per termination.
7) What is the exact part number and origin for submittal paperwork on this lug?
Order it as Blackburn CTL10L-516. It is a copper one-hole long barrel lug, 1/0 AWG, 5/16 inch stud, made in Mexico, with UL file E9809 for the listing line on your submittal.
