CABAC BI-METAL LUG 35MM2-STUD10MM BL35-10 x 1/EACH

Description

Reliable Performance for Aluminium Conductor Terminations

The CABAC BL35-10 Bi-Metal Lug is designed to deliver a secure and electrically efficient connection when terminating 35mm² stranded aluminium conductors. Manufactured using 99.6% pure aluminium and a 99.9% pure copper palm, the lug provides excellent conductivity while maintaining the mechanical strength required for demanding electrical installations.

A friction-welded joint bonds the aluminium barrel to the copper palm, creating a strong and electrically sound connection that minimises resistance and ensures long-term reliability. The barrel is chemically treated and pre-filled with jointing compound to help break oxide layers on aluminium conductors and reduce contact resistance during installation.

For best results, crimp from the palm end first to push the compound into the conductor strands and achieve a consistent, high-quality termination.

Built for Compliance and Long-Term Electrical Reliability

Designed for use with stranded sector and circular stranded aluminium conductors, the CABAC BL35-10 meets recognised international and Australian standards used across commercial and industrial installations. The fully annealed metal construction ensures excellent ductility and strength while maintaining consistent electrical performance across operating conditions.

The friction welding process eliminates the risk of electrolysis between dissimilar metals, supporting a stable connection in long-term service. With an operating temperature range from -40°C to 100°C, these lugs are suitable for a wide range of installation environments including switchboards, distribution equipment, and heavy-duty electrical infrastructure.

Compliance with recognised standards such as AS/NZS4325 Part 1, along with IEC, DIN/VDE, JIS, and BS references, ensures the product meets the expectations of licensed electricians working to Australian installation requirements.

Trade-Friendly Installation with Standard Tooling

The BL35-10 Bi-Metal Lug is designed for efficient installation using standard aluminium hexagonal crimp dies, making it compatible with commonly used tooling across Australian worksites. Tooling compatibility with CABAC, Utilux, and Burndy systems helps reduce downtime and avoids the need for specialised equipment.

This makes it a practical choice for contractors working across residential developments, commercial switchboards, and industrial distribution systems where aluminium conductors must be safely terminated to copper equipment.

Available individually, the lug supports flexible purchasing for both maintenance jobs and large-scale electrical projects.
