Thomas & Betts 60109-TB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Thomas & Betts 60109-TB lug take?
The 60109-TB is a one hole compression lug sized for #6 AWG conductor. It is a copper-free aluminum body, tin plated, so it can be used on aluminum or copper #6 conductor. Crimp it on #6 only; a larger or smaller conductor will not give a proper compression.
2) What die code do I set my crimper to for a 60109-TB lug?
Die code 29, grey color code. Match the die index on your hydraulic or battery compression tool to 29 and make the number of crimps your tool manufacturer calls for. Using an unmatched die is the most common cause of a failed pull test on this size.
3) Can I use an aluminum lug like the 60109-TB on copper wire?
Yes. The barrel is aluminum with a tin plating, which is the standard dual-rated construction for terminating either aluminum or copper conductor. The tin plate is also what lets it land on a copper bus or breaker pad without a dissimilar metal problem. Use an oxide inhibitor on aluminum conductor per the job spec.
4) Is the 60109-TB lug rated for medium voltage terminations?
It carries a 600V to 35kV rating, so it is usable on standard 600 volt power terminations and on shielded medium voltage cable terminations up to 35kV. It is UL and CSA listed.
5) What bolt hole and tongue does this T&B compression lug have?
One round bolt hole on a straight, standard-width tongue with no peep hole in the barrel. Straight tongue means the pad lies in the same plane as the barrel, so plan your conductor bend accordingly if you are landing on a vertical bus pad.
6) How many lugs come in a pack and can I buy just a few?
They sell each, packed 10 to an inner carton and 100 to the outer carton, with an order multiple of 10. So you buy in tens, not ones, and 100 pieces fills a full outer box. Shipping weight works out to about 1 lb per 100 pieces for the lugs themselves.
7) Does the 60109-TB lug meet RoHS for a government or institutional spec?
Yes, the 60109-TB is RoHS compliant, and it is UL and CSA listed, which covers the usual submittal requirements on institutional and public sector electrical packages.
8) Are the published dimensions on this aluminum lug exact enough to detail a bus bar layout?
No. Thomas & Betts states the dimensions are for reference only and may vary by up to .030 inch. If you are laying out hole spacing on a bus pad or a tight termination pattern, work from the actual parts or the manufacturer drawing rather than a nominal figure.
9) Is the 60109-TB marked so an inspector can verify the wire size and die?
It carries standard marking, which is how the conductor size and die index are identified on the barrel after installation. That is what an inspector looks for when verifying the right lug and crimp die were used.
