Where the R7012 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 R7012 is sized for 70mm² conductor — a heavy cable size used in Australian commercial and industrial electrical installations for large sub-main feeds, main switchboard incoming cables, large three-phase motor and plant circuits, and high-current distribution runs. At 70mm², the conductor is in heavy industrial territory — typically single-core cables used for major distribution switchboard feeds, large motor starters, and heavy current sub-mains in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and large-scale infrastructure installations. The 12mm stud hole suits M12 hardware — the standard bolt size across a wide range of busbars, earth bars, and industrial equipment terminals. 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 (R7012) 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 R7012?
A: The R7012 has a 12mm stud hole, suited to M12 bolts and studs — the standard hardware used across a wide range of busbars, earth bars, and industrial equipment terminals.

Q: Is the R7012 sold individually or in a bag?
A: The R7012 is sold individually.
