OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Solder-On Lug for 1/0 to 2/0 Welding Cables

The RL1020 Solder-On Lug is a premium electrical connector designed specifically for the rigorous demands of industrial welding environments. Manufactured from heavy cast copper, this lug offers superior electrical conductivity and thermal properties compared to standard stamped alternatives. The casting process ensures a dense, void-free material structure that efficiently transfers high-amperage welding current from the power source to the workpiece or electrode holder, minimizing voltage drop and heat buildup at the connection point.

Engineered for 1/0 and 2/0 AWG welding cables, this lug features a generous solder cup with a flared entry, facilitating the insertion of stranded copper conductors. The solder-on design provides a permanent, gas-tight bond that is highly resistant to corrosion and vibration, ensuring a stable electrical connection over the lifespan of the cable assembly. This method of termination is particularly advantageous in applications where mechanical crimping tools are unavailable or where a sealed, monolithic connection is preferred to prevent oxidation within the wire strands.

The lug's robust construction includes a substantial mounting pad with a precision-drilled stud hole, allowing for secure attachment to welding machine output terminals, ground clamps, or other high-current distribution points. Its heavy wall thickness provides mechanical strength to withstand the physical stress of daily use, including dragging and pulling common in workshop environments. By utilizing high-grade copper, the RL1020 ensures optimal performance for professional welders requiring reliable power delivery.

FAQ

The RL1020 is designed to fit 1/0 AWG and 2/0 AWG welding cables.

It is manufactured from heavy cast copper to ensure high electrical conductivity and durability.

This is a solder-on lug. You will need to strip the cable, apply flux, insert it into the lug, and use a torch and solder to create the bond.

No, this lug is specifically designed for soldering. Cast copper may crack if crimped, and the wall thickness is optimized for solder heat transfer, not deformation.

No, this copper lug is designed for use with copper welding cables. Connecting copper to aluminum requires specific bi-metal connectors to prevent galvanic corrosion.

No, this is the bare metal lug only. You should use heat shrink tubing or a rubber boot to insulate the connection after soldering.

Solder-on lugs provide a sealed, gas-tight connection that is highly resistant to corrosion and vibration, often offering better longevity in harsh environments than standard crimps.
