How to install Panduit Terminal Connector
- Prepare the conductor: Strip the #10 AWG conductor to the length required by the lug’s barrel, ensuring clean, undamaged insulation and exposed copper within the clamp region.
- Position the lug: Align the lug’s two mounting holes with the corresponding mounting studs or screw terminals on the panel or grounding block. Ensure the 1/4" stud hole is clear of obstruction and ready for hardware insertion.
- Insert the conductor: Insert the stripped conductor fully into the long barrel until it seats against the termination face. Use a gentle twist to settle the conductor and remove any stray strands that could impede proper seating.
- Tighten to specification: Secure the clamp with the appropriate torque as defined by your grounding hardware and applicable codes. Use a calibrated torque wrench to achieve consistent clamping force and prevent over-tightening or undertightening.
- Verify seating via the inspection window: Check the window to confirm that the conductor is fully seated and that the clamp is engaging properly. Any gaps or misalignment should be corrected before final operation.
- Inspect and document: After installation, perform a visual and mechanical inspection, verify electrical continuity, and record the connection details as part of the facility’s grounding documentation for future maintenance.
- Integrate with mounting hardware: If installing into a panel or enclosure, ensure the lug’s mounting holes align with standard hardware, and install any required washers or spacers to achieve proper stack-up and clearance without compromising connectivity.
- Routine maintenance: Periodically inspect the terminations, particularly in facilities exposed to temperature cycling, vibration, or corrosive environments. The inspection window is designed to simplify this ongoing verification.
