KA8C-BURN

Overview

The Burndy KA8C-BURN is a mechanical cable lug designed for connecting stranded or solid copper conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 8 AWG. It features a high copper alloy construction and utilizes a set screw type termination method. The terminal includes one bolt hole compatible with a #10 stud. Key physical dimensions include an overall length of approximately 1.3 inches, a tongue thickness of 0.8 inches, and a tongue length of 0.38 inches. The component is UL Listed and RoHS Compatible, supporting a maximum operating temperature of 194°F and a voltage rating of 600V.

Feature Summary

• High copper alloy material ensures reliable electrical conductivity and durability.
• Set screw mechanism provides secure mechanical connection for conductors.
• Compact design facilitates installation in confined equipment spaces.
• Single hole configuration supports standard #10 stud mounting.

Applications

• Connecting copper cables to electrical equipment terminals
• Industrial control panel wiring
• Power distribution connections

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required conductor range and termination style. Confirm that the product documentation indicates UL Listing and RoHS compliance if these standards are mandatory for your project. Ensure the stud size requirement aligns with the #10 specification provided in the technical data.

Selection Notes

Select this model when working with copper conductors between 14 and 8 AWG. It is suitable for applications requiring a single-hole mechanical lug with a #10 stud interface. Consider the compact form factor for tight installations. Verify voltage and temperature ratings against system requirements before procurement.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Burndy KA-LUG series, which offers mechanical cable lugs for various conductor sizes. The KA8C variant specifically addresses mid-range wire gauges, providing a balance of capacity and compactness. It is distinct from larger gauge lugs in the same family by its specific 14-8 AWG range and #10 stud compatibility.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Burndy cross-reference guides for verified substitutes. Generic equivalents may not match the specific high copper alloy composition or dimensional tolerances. Ensure any replacement maintains the #10 stud hole size and set screw termination type for direct interchangeability.
