Blackburn LCN2-516 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the LCN2-516 a two-hole lug or a single-hole lug?
Two-hole. The LCN2-516 is a two-hole long barrel copper compression lug on 5/16 inch stud holes. Two-hole pads are what most switchgear, transformer, and grounding terminations call for because the second bolt keeps the conductor from rotating under fault current. If your pad only has one hole drilled, a single-hole lug is the right part.
2) What conductor material can I use with this Blackburn copper compression lug?
It is a copper lug, so it is for copper conductors. Do not crimp aluminum cable into a copper-only terminal, and where you are landing copper onto an aluminum bus you still want the correct bi-metal or plated connection at the pad. For aluminum conductor runs, specify an aluminum-bodied compression lug rated AL9CU or equivalent.
3) What voltage is the Blackburn LCN2-516 lug rated for?
35 kV. That covers medium voltage terminations up through 35 kV class cable as well as any low voltage work, which is why this style of long barrel lug shows up in utility, substation, and large commercial service work rather than just panel terminations.
4) Is this Blackburn lug UL listed?
Yes, the LCN2-516 carries UL file E9809. That is the reference an inspector or a spec reviewer will want when the termination has to be listed hardware on a permitted job.
5) Why does the LCN2-516 have a long barrel, and when do I need that instead of a standard barrel?
The long barrel gives room for two crimps rather than one, which is what medium voltage and high pull-out applications generally call for. Pick the long barrel version when the spec calls for a double-crimp termination or the cable will see mechanical strain; a standard barrel lug is fine for ordinary low voltage panel landings.
6) What does the brown color band on this Blackburn lug mean?
Brown is the die color code for this lug. On a compression connector the color identifies which die set and crimp index to use in your hydraulic or battery tool, so match the brown marking on the barrel to the brown die in your tool kit rather than eyeballing the barrel size.
7) Does the Blackburn LCN2-516 come in a box or is it sold individually?
It is sold each, so quantity one gets you one lug. Terminations come in pairs or in threes and fours per feeder, so count your conductors plus a spare or two when you order rather than assuming a packaged quantity.
8) Where is the Blackburn LCN2-516 lug made?
Mexico. That matters on jobs with domestic sourcing language in the contract, so check the spec before you commit it to a federally funded or Buy American project.
