Frequently Asked Questions

What is a metal cable lug and what is it used for?

A metal cable lug is a mechanical and/or electrical termination attached to the end of a cable to enable secure connection, retention, or current transmission in equipment and harnesses. They are used whenever reliable, repeatable, and safe connections are required in industrial environments.

What materials are used in the manufacturing of cable lugs and how are they selected?

Common materials include copper (high conductivity), brass (good corrosion resistance and machinability), steel (mechanical strength), and stainless steel (for harsh environments). The selection depends on electrical requirements (conductivity), mechanical demands (loads, vibration), and environmental conditions (corrosion, temperature).

What processes are used to manufacture metal cable lugs and what advantages do they offer in long production runs?

Manufacturers of cable lugs typically use cold heading, which is ideal for long production runs thanks to its repeatability, dimensional accuracy, and competitive unit cost. The process allows for well-defined geometries and consistent finishes, with the option to manufacture to drawing according to project specifications.

What customization options are available for cable lugs?

Cable lugs are produced to order/drawing, with options such as:

• Custom dimensions (thicknesses, diameters, lengths; from very small diameters such as 3 mm).
• Specific functional zones (crimping or fastening area, eyelets/holes, chamfers, and radii).
• Certified materials and finishes with full batch traceability.
• Production geared to demanding sectors (e.g., automotive), without a standard catalog: supplied as an auxiliary manufacturer based on customer needs.

What should a drawing include to quote and manufacture custom cable lugs?

• Material and applicable standard.
• Geometry: thicknesses, diameters, length, shape of the lug and eyelet.
• Functional areas: crimping/retention zone, holes/eyelets, radii, and chamfers.
• Tolerances and surface finish (roughness, coatings if applicable).
• Electrical or mechanical requirements (conductivity, pull-out strength, vibration resistance).
• Series volume and service conditions (temperature, corrosion, working environment).
