L08010 - Lenco CT-10 45-Degree Copper Terminal Lug (1/0 - 2/0 Cable)

High-Performance Lenco CT-10 Terminal Connector

The Lenco CT-10 (SKU: L08010) is a precision-engineered terminal connector designed to facilitate a robust electrical interface between welding power sources and secondary welding cables. Specifically manufactured for cable sizes ranging from 1/0 to 2/0 AWG (approximately 50mm² to 70mm²), this terminal lug is an essential component for maintaining high-efficiency current transfer in industrial welding setups. The unit is constructed from a specialized high-conductivity copper alloy, ensuring minimal electrical resistance and reducing heat generation at the connection point, which is critical for maintaining duty cycles and preventing voltage drop across the welding circuit.

A defining technical feature of the CT-10 is its 45-degree angled barrel. In many industrial environments, welding machines are positioned in ways that force cables to bend sharply immediately after the connection stud. This sharp bending radius can lead to mechanical fatigue, strand breakage, and eventual failure of the cable conductor. The 45-degree offset of the CT-10 mitigates this issue by directing the cable away from the panel at a natural angle, thereby acting as an integrated strain relief mechanism. This design consideration significantly extends the service life of the welding cable assembly.

Installation of the Lenco CT-10 is achieved via a mechanical connection system. Unlike crimp-style lugs that require specialized hydraulic tooling, the CT-10 utilizes a large, oval-point set screw to secure the stripped cable end within the barrel. This allows for rapid field installation and maintenance using standard hex keys. The mounting pad features a 17/32-inch hole, perfectly sized for standard 1/2-inch studs found on most commercial and industrial welding power supplies. This terminal is rated for the full amperage capacity of 2/0 welding cable, making it suitable for medium-to-heavy duty welding applications.
