Where the R1612 Crimp Lug Is Used

A compression crimp lug terminates a single conductor end to a bolted connection point — the conductor is inserted into the barrel and a compression crimp tool closes the barrel around the conductor, making a permanent, mechanically secure, low-resistance termination. The tongue of the lug is then bolted to the connection point — a busbar, earth bar, motor terminal, switchboard stud, or similar — using an M12 bolt through the 12mm stud hole.

The R1612 is sized for 16mm² conductor — a heavier cable size used in Australian commercial and industrial electrical installations for sub-main feeds, larger three-phase circuit conductors, main switchboard incoming cables, and high-current single-phase installations. The 12mm stud hole suits M12 hardware, which is the standard bolt size used on heavier busbars, earth bars, and industrial equipment terminals at this current capacity. The tinned copper construction combines the excellent conductivity of annealed copper with a tin electroplated surface that resists oxidation and maintains a clean, low-resistance contact at the bolted joint over the service life of the installation.

Crimp lugs in the R-series range are available across a wide range of cable sizes and stud hole combinations — covering the full range of conductor sizes and connection hardware used in Australian commercial and industrial electrical installations.

Q: What is the difference between a crimp lug and a crimp link?
A: A crimp lug (R1612) terminates a single conductor to a bolted connection point — it has one barrel end for the conductor and one tongue with a stud hole for the bolt. A crimp link joins two conductor ends together — it has an open barrel at both ends. Use a crimp lug for conductor-to-terminal connections; use a crimp link for conductor-to-conductor joints.

Q: What stud or bolt size suits the R1612?
A: The R1612 has a 12mm stud hole, suited to M12 bolts and studs — the standard hardware used on heavier busbars, earth bars, and industrial equipment terminals at 16mm² conductor capacity.

Q: Is the R1612 sold individually or in a bag?
A: The R1612 is sold individually.
