Blackburn CTL2-12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CTL2-12 lug take?
The CTL2-12 is sized for 2 AWG conductor. It's a one-hole, short barrel compression lug, so the barrel is crimped onto a single 2 AWG cable end. Larger or smaller conductors need a different part in the series, since a compression barrel only grips the AWG it's rated for.
2) Is the CTL2-12 copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum conductor?
It's a copper lug, so it's for copper conductor. Terminating aluminum cable calls for an aluminum-bodied or dual-rated AL/CU connector instead; a copper-only barrel on aluminum wire is the wrong pairing.
3) What does the brown color on this lug mean?
Brown is the color code on the CTL2-12 barrel, which corresponds to the 2 AWG die used to crimp it. On a job with mixed conductor sizes, the color is how a crew confirms they've grabbed the right lug and the matching die before they set the crimp.
4) Short barrel or long barrel, which one do I need?
The CTL2-12 is a short barrel, meaning a single crimp. Short barrels are used where space behind the termination is tight. Long barrel versions take two crimps and are specified where higher pullout resistance is called for. Both land the same conductor, so the choice comes down to available room and what the spec asks for.
5) Are Blackburn CTL2-12 lugs sold individually or by the bag?
Each. The selling unit is a single lug, so quantity ordered equals lugs received, which makes it easy to match a count of terminations on a panel schedule.
6) Where is the Blackburn CTL2-12 made?
Manufactured in Mexico. That's the country of origin to cite on submittals or procurement paperwork that asks for it.
