Blackburn CTL10-2516 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Blackburn CTL10-2516 lug take?
The CTL10-2516 is sized for 1/0 AWG copper conductor. It's a compression lug with a short barrel, so the conductor gets crimped into the barrel rather than clamped by a setscrew. Using it on anything other than 1/0 will not give you a proper crimp.
2) What stud size will the Blackburn CTL10-2516 two-hole lug bolt to?
It lands on 5/16 inch studs, and it's a two-hole tongue, so you need two 5/16 inch landing points on the bus or pad. Two-hole is what most utility and switchgear pads specify because it stops the lug rotating under torque.
3) Is the Blackburn CTL10-2516 copper or aluminum, and can I put it on aluminum conductor?
It's a copper lug, bodied for copper conductor only. For aluminum or dual-rated runs you need an AL9CU-marked connector instead; crimping aluminum into a copper-only barrel is not an approved termination.
4) Can I use this lug on medium voltage cable terminations?
Yes. The CTL10-2516 carries a 35 kV rating, so it's suitable for medium voltage terminations up to that class as well as ordinary 600V work. It's UL listed under file E9809.
5) What does the pink color on this Blackburn compression lug mean?
Pink is the die color code on the CTL10-2516, matching the crimp die and index for 1/0 AWG copper. Set your compression tool to the pink die index so the crimp matches the barrel; color coding is how you confirm tool and connector agree on the bench.
6) Short barrel versus long barrel lug: which should I order for a 1/0 termination?
The CTL10-2516 is a short barrel, which takes a single crimp and fits where the cable entry space behind the pad is tight, common in panelboards and compact enclosures. A long barrel takes two crimps and is chosen where you want more pullout resistance or need the extra barrel length to reach past a bend. If your spec calls out two crimps, the short barrel is the wrong part.
7) Is the Blackburn CTL10-2516 sold individually or in a bag?
Each. One lug per unit, so order the exact count you need, two per cable if you're terminating both ends.
8) What is the manufacturer part number for this Blackburn lug and where is it made?
Order it as Blackburn CTL10-2516. It's manufactured in Mexico.
