Where the CTL16-8 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 M8 bolt through the 8mm stud hole.

The CTL16-8 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 8mm stud hole suits M8 hardware — used on larger terminal blocks, heavy duty earth bars, switchboard busbars, and equipment connection points. 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 CTL16-6 and CTL16-8?
A: Both are 16mm² tinned copper tube crimp lugs with identical barrel and cable specifications. The only difference is the stud hole — CTL16-6 has a 6mm stud hole (suits M6 bolts) and CTL16-8 has an 8mm stud hole (suits M8 bolts). Select the correct size to match the bolt or stud at the connection point.

Q: What stud or bolt size suits the CTL16-8?
A: The CTL16-8 has an 8mm stud hole, suited to M8 bolts and studs — used on larger terminal blocks, heavy duty earth bars, and switchboard busbars.

Q: Is the CTL16-8 sold individually or in a bag?
A: The CTL16-8 is sold individually.
