Unicrimp offers new Narrow Copper Tube Terminals

12-02-2025

Unicrimp has expanded its Q-crimp range of copper tube terminals with the introduction of new narrow palm, tin-plated copper lugs. Designed for applications where space is limited or compact installations are required, the narrow profile of the new lugs offers a perfect solution compared to standard lugs. 
 
Narrow palm lugs are generally used when terminating cables into low voltage, moulded case circuit breakers, where limited width terminal blocks cause problems for standard lug terminals. The compressed palm of the narrow palm lug provides an effective and efficient termination enabling close mounting in confined spaces, which makes them particularly suitable for control panels and switchboards. 
 
Manufactured from high-conductivity copper, these lugs offer installers reliable performance, ensuring efficient electrical conductivity, whilst maintaining strong mechanical and electrical integrity even in high-load applications.  They are coated with an electroplated finish for protection against corrosion and oxidation and their design offers improved safety - reducing the risk of loose connections and overheating.  
 
The new copper lugs are ideal for a wide range of applications, including: 

• Switchgear and control panels   for connections in tight panel layouts. 

• Automotive systems - where space optimisation is critical. 

• Renewable energy systems   involving compact setups such as solar inverters. 

• Industrial equipment   including motor connections and power distributions. 

• Aerospace and marine - environments requiring compact and reliable connections. 

They are available in a variety of sizes:  

• 35mm2, 50mm2 and 70mm2 narrow palm copper tube lug with 6mm stud 

• 70mm2,95mm2, 120mm2 and 150mm2 narrow palm copper tube lug with 8mm stud 

• 120mm2 narrow palm copper tube lug with 10mm stud 

 The lugs comply with international standards, including ANSI, CE, and UKCA, ensuring they meet the highest quality and performance requirements for customers worldwide.
