YAV25LTC516FX

Overview

The Burndy YAV25LTC516FX is a copper compression lug designed for 1/0 AWG flexible conductors, including G, H, I, K, M, and DLO types. It features a 5/16-inch stud size with a single hole configuration. The component utilizes electro-tin plating to mitigate galvanic corrosion and resist corrosive elements. Key dimensions include an overall length of 1.81 inches and a barrel length of 0.69 inches. The barrel outside diameter measures 0.56 inches, while the wire strip length is specified as 1-1/16 inches. Rated for temperatures up to 90 degrees Celsius, this connector supports voltage ratings ranging from 600 V to 35 kV.

Feature Summary

• Electro-tin plated copper construction reduces galvanic corrosion and resists corrosive environments.
• Internally beveled barrel end facilitates easy cable insertion for flexible conductors.
• Color-coded pink marking aids in identification and verification of conductor type.

Applications

• Connection of 1/0 AWG flexible copper cables to 5/16-inch studs
• Marine and naval electrical systems utilizing DLO or Navy-rated wiring
• Industrial equipment requiring high-voltage connections up to 35 kV

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required conductor type matches the specific flexibility rating (G, H, I, K, M, or DLO) supported by this lug. Confirm the stud size is exactly 5/16 inches and the hole count is single. Ensure the application environment does not exceed the 90-degree Celsius temperature rating. Check for electro-tin plating integrity if operating in corrosive conditions. Cross-reference the barrel length of 0.69 inches with available termination space.

Selection Notes

Select this model when terminating 1/0 AWG flexible copper conductors to a 5/16-inch stud. The YAV-L-FX series is appropriate for applications requiring high flexibility and corrosion resistance due to tin plating. Consider the 1.81-inch overall length for spatial constraints. This lug is suitable for both low voltage (600 V) and medium voltage (up to 35 kV) applications where flexible cabling is mandated by standards such as DLO or Navy specifications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Burndy YAV-L-FX series, which specializes in compression lugs for flexible conductors. The series is characterized by its ability to handle various flexibility grades (G through M) and specialized marine wiring. The YAV25LTC516FX specifically addresses the need for secure, corrosion-resistant connections in demanding electrical environments, combining standard mechanical dimensions with specialized material treatments.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing tooling for compression dies, as specific die indices may vary between manufacturers. Ensure any replacement maintains the same 5/16-inch stud size and 1/0 AWG conductor capacity.
