Where the CTL6-5 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 M5 bolt through the 5mm stud hole.

The CTL6-5 is sized for 6mm² conductor — a heavier cable size used in Australian residential and commercial wiring for high-current dedicated circuits including large air conditioning installations, sub-board feeds, electric hot water systems, and other appliance circuits where 4mm² conductors are insufficient. The 5mm stud hole suits M5 hardware — commonly used on smaller terminal blocks and earth terminal bars where a compact connection point is required. 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 (CTL6-5) 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 CTL6-5?
A: The CTL6-5 has a 5mm stud hole, suited to M5 bolts and studs — commonly used on smaller terminal blocks and earth terminal bars where a compact connection point is required.

Q: Is the CTL6-5 sold individually or in a bag?
A: The CTL6-5 is sold individually.
