Thomas & Betts 31262 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire range does the Thomas & Betts 31262 Locktite connector take?
The 31262 is built for copper conductors in the 8 to 4 AWG range. It's a female stud connector, so the conductor lands in the barrel and the tapped opening takes a threaded stud rather than a bolt passing through a tongue.
2) Is the Thomas & Betts 31262 connector copper or aluminum rated?
Copper. The 31262 is a copper-bodied mechanical connector intended for copper conductors, not a dual-rated AL9CU part. If you're terminating aluminum conductors, you need a connector specifically listed for aluminum.
3) What's the difference between a female stud connector and a regular lug?
A standard lug has a flat tongue with a clearance hole that bolts to a pad or busbar. The 31262 instead has a tapped female opening that threads directly onto an existing stud, so you use it where the equipment already presents a threaded post and there's no room or no hardware for a through-bolted tongue. The conductor side is the same idea: an 8-4 AWG copper barrel with a set screw.
4) Is the Thomas & Betts 31262 a mechanical set-screw connector or a compression connector?
Mechanical. The 31262 is classed as a mechanical connector, which means it's tightened onto the conductor with a screw and installs with a hex key or driver, no hydraulic crimper or die set required. That's the practical reason crews keep them on the truck for field terminations and repairs.
5) What manufacturer part number should I order for the Locktite copper female stud connector for 8-4 AWG?
Thomas & Betts part number 31262. One model covers the full 8 through 4 AWG copper range, so there's no separate catalog number per wire size within that span.
6) Is the Thomas & Betts 31262 sold individually or in a box?
Each. The 31262 is sold as a single connector, so order the exact count of terminations you have rather than a multi-pack quantity.
