New complete portfolio of compression lugs and tools

ABB is now ready to introduce a truly global range of compression lugs and tooling to complement its portfolio of engineered installation products including cable ties, wire terminals, wiring duct, conduit & fittings and tooling. The new compression IEC Spec-Kon lugs & tooling range is available now and introduced in Europe, Middle East and Asia targeting electrical distributors, panel builders and OEM manufacturers.

Complete range for solid, homogenous connection
ABB now offers a complete range of IEC & UL/CSA approved compression lugs in metric (Color-Keyed® and Spec-Kon) and imperial / American Wire Gauge (AWG) sizes (Blackburn®-Color-Keyed®). All systems utilize compression tools with matching dies that forms connector & wire to provide an optimum electrical bond between connector & conductor.

Only four easy steps to a perfect connection
System solution to provide the best and most reliable connection. Our new Spec-Kon portfolio is a system solution designed to make a reliable and easy connection. The dies are designed to produce a circumferential, hex- or diamond-shaped compression rather than a simple indent resulting in assured high conductivity, meeting IEC standards. Circumferential compression creates large area of high pressure contact between cable and connector which in turn result in low resistance and high pull-out values.

To meet the most stringent UL & IEC Class A testing requirements, we also have in our portfolio the Color Keyed® & Blackburn® lugs made of 99.9% pure, oxygen free copper. The Color-Keyed® color coded crimping system assures the right die is used with the right lug resulting in an accurate, reliable crimp. Also the Color-Keyed® dies are designed to produce a circumferential, hex- or diamond-shaped compression rather than a simple indent resulting in assured high conductivity, exceeding IEC 61238-1 and UL standards.

With Spec-Kon lugs and compression tools added to our portfolio, we offer electrical wholesalers, panel builders and OEM manufactures compression lug solutions for any application and industry standard. With this range it will be easier to business for customers. They will now be able to find the complete portfolio of general use cable ties, heat shrink, wire terminals, wiring duct and lugs available at the same point of sales and available from ABB.
