Overview
The ABB Thomas & Betts 54850BEPH is a Color-Keyed® two-hole long barrel compression lug designed for terminating copper conductors up to 35kV. Manufactured from high-conductivity copper with an electro-tin plated finish, this lug delivers low-resistance crimped connections for demanding utility, industrial, and commercial electrical installations. The peep hole (PH suffix) allows visual verification of full conductor insertion prior to crimping, ensuring reliable, code-compliant terminations.
Features
- Color-coded red barrel for easy identification — die code 21
- Long barrel design allows additional crimps for enhanced pull-out strength
- Peep hole (inspection hole) enables visual confirmation of conductor seating
- Two-hole tongue with 5/8 in hole spacing for dual-bolt bus connections
- Electro-tin plated finish for corrosion resistance; alternative finishes available (plain, nickel, lead, silver, gold)
- Rated for copper conductors: #8 AWG copper, 23 AWG Navy (flex), Class G/H/I/K/M flex wire
