At Penn-Union, we take pride in delivering innovative and reliable solutions for electrical connections. Our LA-CND series, Aluminum Dual Rated Lugs, is no exception. These high-quality connectors are engineered to meet the diverse needs of commercial and industrial applications while ensuring durability, efficiency, and safety. Let’s dive into what makes the LA-CND line stand out.

Features and Benefits of the LA-CND Series

1. Unique Versatility for Aluminum and Copper Conductors: A standout feature of the LA-CND series is its design, which allows for use with either one or two aluminum or copper conductors. This flexibility makes these lugs an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. Commonly referred to as “snowman lugs” due to their distinctive shape, they offer unmatched adaptability for various connection needs.
2. High-Strength Aluminum Alloy Construction: The body of each lug in the LA-CND series is fabricated from high-strength aluminum alloy extrusion, offering exceptional mechanical integrity and long-lasting performance.
3. Electro-Tin Plating: Each lug is electro-tin plated to minimize contact resistance and provide superior protection against corrosion. This feature ensures reliable performance in even the most demanding environments.
4. Rated for High-Performance Applications: These connectors are rated for 600V and 90°C applications, making them ideal for use in various electrical systems.
5. UL Listed and Compliant: The LA-CND series is UL listed (486A-486B, AL9CU), ensuring compliance with rigorous industry standards for safety and reliability.
6. Recommended Use of Oxide Inhibitors: For optimal performance, we recommend the use of oxide inhibitors in all aluminum terminations to ensure a secure and efficient connection.

Technical Specifications

The LA-CND series offers multiple configurations to suit a variety of requirements. Here are a few examples:

• LA-350-2CND: Supports conductor ranges from 6 AWG to 350 kcmil (single conductor) or 4 AWG to 2/0 AWG (two conductors).
• LA-500-2CND: Accommodates 4 AWG to 500 kcmil (single conductor) or 1/0 AWG to 250 kcmil (two conductors).
• LA-750-2CND: Designed for 2 AWG to 750 kcmil (single conductor) or 1/0 AWG to 300 kcmil (two conductors).

Each model features a one-hole tongue design, allowing for secure and straightforward mounting with various bolt sizes and configurations.

Applications

The LA-CND series is designed to excel in environments where reliable connections for one or two aluminum or copper conductors are essential. Common use cases include:

• Power Distribution Systems: Ideal for connecting aluminum or copper conductors in both primary and secondary power distribution networks within commercial and industrial facilities.
• Switchgear and Panelboards: Ensures dependable terminations for single or dual conductors in electrical panels, switchgear assemblies, and motor control centers.
• Renewable Energy Systems: A perfect choice for solar and wind energy applications, where single or dual conductor flexibility is often required for wiring connections in inverters and power systems.
• Utility Substations and Transformers: Provides secure and corrosion-resistant connections for both copper and aluminum conductors in high-voltage environments.
• OEM Applications: Tailored for equipment manufacturers who require adaptable, dual-rated lugs to accommodate varying conductor configurations during assembly.
