Blackburn CTL2-38 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CTL2-38 compression lug take?
The CTL2-38 is sized for 2 AWG conductor. It's a one-hole, short barrel compression lug in copper, so it goes on copper conductor and gets crimped with a die matched to the barrel. Run a different gauge and the crimp won't hold, so the conductor has to be 2 AWG.
2) Can I put aluminum conductor in the CTL2-38?
No. It's a copper compression lug, made for copper conductor only. For aluminum or a dual-rated run you need an AL9CU-rated connector instead.
3) What does the brown color band on the Blackburn CTL2-38 mean?
Brown is the color code stamped on the barrel to tell you the lug and die combination at a glance, which is how an inspector confirms the right size lug was crimped on the right conductor after the fact. On the CTL2-38 brown pairs with 2 AWG copper. Match your crimp die to the brown code.
4) What is the difference between a short barrel lug like the CTL2-38 and a long barrel version?
A short barrel takes a single crimp and needs less room behind the terminal pad, which is what you want in a tight panel gutter or a crowded junction box. A long barrel accepts two crimps for more pull-out resistance and is typically specified where vibration or heavy pull is a factor. The CTL2-38 is the short barrel, one-hole configuration for 2 AWG copper on a 3/8 inch stud.
5) What is the exact part number to order for the Blackburn 2 AWG one-hole compression lug?
Order Blackburn CTL2-38. The number reads out as the CTL compression tongue series, 2 AWG conductor, 3/8 inch stud hole.
6) Does the CTL2-38 come in a bag or is it sold individually?
Sold each, so you order the exact count you need rather than a fixed carton. Handy when you're terminating a small number of feeders and don't want a box of 50 sitting on the truck.
