L08030 - Lenco CT-40FA 45-Degree Angled Terminal Lug for LC-40HD

Technical Overview of the Lenco CT-40FA Lug Combo

The Lenco CT-40FA (SKU: L08030) is a specialized cable connector accessory designed to interface with the LC-40HD series of welding cable connectors. This component functions as a 45-degree angled terminal lug, engineered to facilitate optimal cable routing and connection integrity in industrial welding setups. Manufactured from a proprietary high-conductivity copper alloy, the CT-40FA ensures minimal electrical resistance at the termination point, which is critical for maintaining arc stability and preventing localized overheating during high-amperage operations.

The primary technical advantage of the CT-40FA is its 45-degree geometry. In many welding power source configurations, straight output studs or terminals can force heavy-gauge welding cables (specifically 1/0 to 2/0 AWG) into sharp bends immediately upon exit. This mechanical stress can lead to strand breakage, insulation fatigue, and increased resistance over time. By utilizing the CT-40FA, the cable approach angle is offset, allowing for a natural drape that preserves the structural integrity of the copper strands and the cable jacket. This component is rated for use with systems operating up to 500 amperes, aligning with the standard duty cycles of LC-40HD connectors.

Installation of the Lenco CT-40FA is designed for efficiency and reliability. The lug accepts standard 1/0 and 2/0 AWG cables and can be secured using mechanical set screws or soldering methods, depending on the specific requirements of the application and the shop standards. The machined tolerances ensure a tight fit within the LC-40HD housing (if applicable) or onto the mating stud, providing a vibration-resistant connection essential for dynamic welding environments. This part is an essential component for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) inventories supporting heavy fabrication and structural welding equipment.
