Where the CTL16-6 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 terminal block, earth bar, busbar, equipment stud, or similar — using an M6 bolt through the 6mm stud hole.

The CTL16-6 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 in smaller installations, and high-current single-phase circuits. The 6mm stud hole suits M6 hardware — the most widely used bolt size for electrical connections in Australian switchboard, earthing, and equipment termination applications. 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 this 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 electrical installations.

Q: What is the difference between a crimp lug and a crimp link?
A: A crimp lug (CTL16-6) 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 CTL16-6?
A: The CTL16-6 has a 6mm stud hole, suited to M6 bolts and studs — the most widely used bolt size for electrical connections in Australian switchboard, earthing, and equipment termination applications.

Q: Is the CTL16-6 sold individually or in a bag?
A: The CTL16-6 is sold individually.
