Pin Cable Lugs

Pin cable lugs are used when electrical conductors need to be securely crimped and then connected via a pin-shaped contact. In the HILPRESS online shop, you will find insulated pin cable lugs and pin cable lugs uninsulated for different conductor cross-sections, nominal sizes and applications in electrical connection technology.

Pin Cable Lugs for Electrical Connections

Pin cable lugs connect a stripped conductor to a pin-shaped contact. The conductor is inserted into the cable lug and crimped using a suitable crimping tool. This creates a mechanically stable and electrically conductive connection suitable for wiring, control cabinets, machines, systems and electrical installations.

Unlike ring or fork cable lugs, pin cable lugs do not have a screw connection with an eyelet. Instead, they feature a straight contact pin. This pin can be inserted into suitable connection points, terminals or plug-in areas. The most important selection criteria include the nominal cross-section, nominal size, design, shape, dimensions and insulation material.

HIL-QUICK® Pin Cable Lugs with Polycarbonate Insulation

As standard, HIL-QUICK® pin cable lugs feature a plastic insulation sleeve made of polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is used as the insulating material of the cable lug and protects the connection area. The specified temperature range is from -10 °C to +105 °C.

Pin cable lugs are also available with PVC insulation. This version is an unsoldered and more cost-effective alternative. The temperature range is from -10 °C to +70 °C. The appropriate version should be selected according to the technical requirements, temperature range, conductor cross-section and desired design.

Choose Insulated Pin Cable Lugs or Pin Cable Lugs Uninsulated

Insulated pin cable lugs are suitable for applications where the connection area should be directly covered with plastic insulation. The insulation can make handling easier and supports visual identification according to conductor cross-section or colour.

Pin cable lugs uninsulated are used when separate insulation is planned or when a compact metal design is required. For uninsulated versions, the material, surface, conductor cross-section and connection geometry should be matched particularly carefully to the application.

Find the Right Pin Cable Lug

To select the right product, first determine the appropriate nominal cross-section. The conductor cross-section must match the cable lug to ensure that the crimp connection is mechanically secure and electrically reliable. The nominal size, pin shape, length, material thickness and the requirements of the connection point should also be taken into account.

The filters in the HILPRESS online shop help you narrow down your selection, for example by design, colour, insulation material, nominal size, nominal cross-section, material, shape and sales unit. This allows you to find the right pin cable lug for your specific application more quickly.
