Blackburn LCN2-12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn LCN2-12 lug take?
The LCN2-12 is sized for 2 AWG conductor. It's a single-conductor copper compression lug, so the barrel is made to crimp onto one 2 AWG cable, not a range of sizes. If your feeder is 1/0 or 4 AWG, you need a different catalog number in the LCN series.
2) Will the Blackburn LCN2-12 bolt to a 1/2 inch stud on my panel bus?
Yes. The LCN2-12 has a 1/2 inch stud size on the tongue, so it lands on 1/2 inch bus studs or bolts. It's a two-hole tongue, so the pad you are landing on needs two 1/2 inch holes at the matching spacing, not a single stud.
3) Can I use the LCN2-12 on aluminum conductor?
No. The LCN2-12 is a copper-only lug, made for copper conductor. For aluminum or AL9CU dual-rated terminations you need a connector specifically rated for aluminum; putting bare aluminum into a copper-only barrel is a code and corrosion problem.
4) What does the brown color band on this Blackburn compression lug mean?
Brown is the color code on the LCN2-12 barrel, and it tells the installer which die set and crimp to use. Match the brown code on your compression tool die index rather than guessing by barrel diameter. The color is a die-identification marking, not a conductor or phase indicator.
5) Why choose a long barrel lug instead of a standard barrel?
A long barrel takes two crimps instead of one, which gives more pull-out strength and lower resistance at the termination. Electricians spec long barrel like the LCN2-12 on service entrance, switchgear, and generator connections where vibration or high fault current is a concern. A short barrel is fine for lighter branch work.
6) Do I need a special tool to install the Blackburn LCN2-12?
It's a compression lug, not a mechanical set-screw type, so it requires a hydraulic or battery crimper with the correct die. Match the die to the brown code on the barrel and place two crimps along the long barrel. No set screw or hex key is involved.
7) Does the LCN2-12 come in a pack or as a single piece?
It's sold each, so one lug per unit. Count your terminations, including neutrals and grounds, before ordering, since a three-phase plus neutral termination needs four.
