Blackburn 71003-TB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Blackburn 71003-TB lug take?
The 71003-TB Locktite cone screw lug is rated for 14 through 8 AWG conductors, so it covers the usual branch circuit range from 14 gauge lighting runs up to 8 gauge feeders. One lug per conductor, sold each.
2) Is the Blackburn 71003-TB lug copper or aluminum?
It's a copper lug, built for copper conductors. If you're terminating aluminum or doing a mixed copper/aluminum splice, you want a dual-rated AL9CU connector instead, not this one.
3) Is the Blackburn 71003-TB a UL listed connector?
Yes. The 71003-TB carries UL file E9809, which is what an inspector or a spec writer on an institutional job will be looking for on a mechanical connector.
4) What is a Locktite cone screw lug and when would I use one instead of a crimp lug?
It's a mechanical connector: the conductor goes into the barrel and a cone-point screw clamps it down, so you terminate it with a hex key or screwdriver and a torque wrench, no crimp tool or die set. That's the reason contractors and MRO crews keep them on the truck for panel and equipment terminations and one-off repairs. A compression lug is the better choice where the spec calls out a crimped, irreversible termination or where vibration is a concern.
5) Is the Blackburn 71003-TB the right part number for a 14-8 AWG copper screw lug?
Yes, 71003-TB is the manufacturer part number for the Blackburn Locktite copper cone screw lug covering 14 through 8 AWG. Order by that number to avoid the adjacent range sizes in the same series.
6) Where is the Blackburn 71003-TB lug made?
Manufactured in Mexico. Worth knowing if you're bidding a job with Buy American or domestic sourcing language in the specs, since that origin will not satisfy those clauses.
