CABAC BI-METAL LUG 500MM2-STD16MM BL500-16 x 1/EACH

Description

Strong Electrical Performance for High-Capacity Connections

The CABAC BI-METAL LUG 500MM² STD 16MM (BL500-16) is designed to deliver a dependable electrical connection when terminating large aluminium conductors to copper terminals or busbars. Manufactured using a friction welding process, the lug forms a strong, electrically sound bond between the aluminium barrel and copper palm, helping ensure reliable current flow on high-load installations.

The 500mm² barrel capacity allows electricians to terminate large conductors commonly used in switchboards, distribution systems, and heavy electrical infrastructure. Crimping is performed from the palm end, forcing the integrated compound deep into the conductor strands for improved conductivity and reduced resistance. This helps create a stable connection that performs consistently under demanding electrical loads.

Reliable Construction Built for Compliance and Long-Term Use

Designed with trade reliability in mind, this CABAC bi-metal lug provides a robust termination solution where aluminium conductors must connect to copper equipment. The friction-welded joint produces a mechanically strong and electrically stable interface, helping maintain integrity across long-term installations.

The barrel comes pre-filled with crimping compound and sealed with a protective cap, helping protect the conductor interface and ensuring the compound is forced into the strands during crimping. Clearly marked crimping positions and AF identification on the barrel also make installation straightforward, helping electricians achieve consistent and compliant terminations on site.

Trade-Ready Design That Saves Time on Site

When you’re working to project deadlines, having reliable components that install quickly matters. The BL500-16 bi-metal lug is designed for efficient installation with clear crimp markings and pre-loaded compound that removes the need for additional preparation.

For contractors handling switchboard builds, infrastructure upgrades, or large cable terminations, this helps reduce installation time and minimise the risk of connection issues later on. Supplied individually, it’s easy to order exactly what you need for the job — whether you’re completing a single termination or stocking up for a larger project. Available through iSupply Electrical’s extensive trade range, it forms part of a reliable supply chain that helps electricians source critical components quickly and keep projects moving.
