Introduction to Connection by CompressionQuality Tooling withthe Shure-Stake ® MechanismT&B manual tools with the exclusive, Shure-Stake® mechanism take theguesswork out of making compression connections. The Shure-Stake®mechanism provides a full cycle compression stroke every time. Once thestroke has started, the tool will not release the connector until the properamount of force has been applied. This is your assurance of a fully compressedconnection. T&B compression tools develop uniform, controlled pressure toeach connector within their size range. Thomas & Betts offers electric andbattery-powered hydraulic pumps with a Shure-Stake® feature that guaranteesa full cycle compression.TBM62BSCRSingle-handed battery-poweredcompression tool, featuresrotating head and comfortablebalance. For connectors up to500 kcmil CU,350 kcmil AL.CompressionBattpac ® LT PumpThe newest battery-powered hydraulic pump, ratedfor 10,000 PSI. Portable power for all T&B hydraulicheads, using just one Ni-MH 24V rechargeablebattery.TBM6SHard-operated crimping tool, featuresShure-Stake ® mechanism to insure acompleted crimp. For connectors upto 500 kcmil CU, 350 kcmil AL.Thomas & Betts Method ComponentsMeet Industry StandardsDepending on the application, all Thomas & Betts copper connectorsmeet UL Std. 486A for code stranded and 24 gauge flex, CSA std.C22.2, No. 65.600V. requirements for power and UL Std. 467, CSAStd. 22.2 No. 0.4 requirements for direct buried grounding.T&B method connectors are available in a range of sizes and stylesto accomodate copper and larger aluminum cable. They may becompressed on cable with either manual or hydraulic tools. They areoffered with standard length or long barrels, with one bolt or twobolt holes, or in two-way styles, for splicing applications. Two-wayconnectors are compact, providing high pullout values with lowresistance.Color-Keyed ® two-hole lugs are ideal for bus bar applications thatrequire two bolts to prevent lug rotation.High Grade Materials Incorporatedin Thomas & Betts MethodLow installed cost connections of superior quality can be achievedonly through the use of high grade components. That is an importantpart of the T&B method – quality products you can depend on.Copper Color-Keyed® connectors are made of high conductivitywrought copper and are electro-tin plated to prevent corrosion andto improve conductivity. Thomas & Betts Color-Keyed® connectorsoffer the thickest tin-plating in the industry. Other copper connectorsfor heavy duty use and grid grounding applications are made of highconductivity cast copper, bright finished.High conductivity cast aluminum connectors are available forheavy-duty application.The T&B Method is the most efficient, highest quality connectionthat has been engineered and delivers the best electricalperformance and highest reliability.T&B compression connectors eliminate risk of problems relating toloose connections when installed properly.7
Color-Keyed ® ConnectorsCompressionColor-Keyed ® Special Lugs for SpecialProblems – Angled, Shaped and Flaredthe Way You Need ThemThomas & Betts can solve your difficult wire bending and terminating problemsin confined power distribution panels, switchgear and motor control enclosures.We have the design and production capability to deliver exactly the type lug youneed, shaped the way you need.• Straight, 45º and 90º angle• Stacking or non-stacking• Narrow tongue or standard• Tin, silver and nickelThomas & Betts offers an extensive line of copper Color-Keyed ® lugs for#8 AWG through 1000 kcmil flex and code cables. The lug tongues aremodified in several different configurations to meet your exact needs: 45ºand 90º bend angles, narrow tongues to fit into circuit breakers, offset tonguesto stack two cables and special stud hole drilling. These special configurationslet you:1. run cable directly to the bus bar with no bending.2. terminate into very narrow spaces.3. utilize minimal bus bar space.The specially designed lugs help you “clean up” your cabling in crowdedenclosures.The photographs show some examples of how and where the lugs can beused.Customized Color-Keyed ® Connectors for Copper Cables• Standard and special tongue angles, stacking and non-stacking,bolt holes sizes and centers, protective platings.• Specially modified one and two hole copper Color-Keyed ®compression lugs, Series 54100, 54200, 54850BE and 54930BEfor flex and code copper stranded cables. Material highconductivity wrought copper.• Minimum order quantity: Standard package quantity by cablesize. Consult your Regional Sales Office for price and delivery.All customized lugs are made to order and non-cancelable.8
