LUGS SU6-8

Description

Item Description: SC6-8 (SU6-8) Tinned Copper Cable Lug The SC6-8 (also cataloged as SU6-8 or CL6-8) is a non-insulated tubular ring terminal engineered to create a highly conductive, low-resistance electrical connection for smaller power distribution lines and grounding wires. Like the larger models in its family, it is manufactured from high-purity, seamless electrical-grade copper and finished with an electro-tinned outer plating. This tinned copper layer is critical for preventing the copper from oxidizing, rusting, or suffering galvanic corrosion when exposed to moisture, automotive fluids, or marine environments. Decoding the “6-8” Specification: 6: Indicates that the internal barrel shank is precision-sized for a wire cross-sectional area of 6 mm 2 (which is equivalent to 10 AWG American Wire Gauge cabling). 8: Indicates that the flat ring eyelet features a hole sized specifically for an M8 screw or stud (with an opening diameter of approximately 8.4 mm or 5/16 inch). Compatible Mechanisms & Installation Tools Because the SC6-8 is used in standard electrical wiring and low-to-medium power distribution, it interfaces with a wide variety of common mechanical tools and electrical systems: 1. Mechanical Installation Tools To attach this lug securely to a 10 AWG cable, the barrel must be compressed hard enough to force the wire strands to blend into a single mass. It is compatible with: Ratcheting Terminal Crimpers: Handheld ratcheting pliers equipped with a die specifically sized for non-insulated 6 mm 2 (10 AWG) terminals. Hammer Lug Crimpers: A mechanical v-block punch tool that uses the impact force of a hammer to compress the terminal barrel. 2. Compatible Wire & Cable Systems The internal sleeve is scaled specifically for mid-gauge, multi-strand copper cores: Stranded Copper Electrical Wires: Fits standard 6 mm 2 or 10 AWG flexible wiring cables. Common Applications: Earth grounding wires, marine cabin wiring, automotive accessory circuits, and solar panel arrays. 3. Compatible Connection Nodes (The M8 Stud) The flat ring eyelet is designed to slide onto M8 (8 mm Thread Diameter) hardware assemblies, which are widely used across light industrial and consumer electronics: Battery Terminals & Power Blocks: Fits the M8 screw studs commonly found on medium-sized lithium battery packs (such as those used in e-bikes or small solar backups), distribution blocks, and marine busbars. Automotive Grounding Points: Connects grounding wires directly to M8 chassis bolts or alternator posts in vehicles. Solar Charge Controllers & Inverters: Connects the 12V/24V DC battery-side cables to small-to-medium scale solar power systems.
