Product Description
The Burndy BGBL-1/0 is a high-strength QIKLUG™ series mechanical terminal engineered for superior grounding and bonding efficiency. Its specialized "lay-in" design allows for a continuous grounding conductor to be placed directly into the terminal without cutting or breaking the wire. This makes it a preferred choice for solar installers, telecommunications technicians, and industrial electricians who need to maintain a solid, unbroken ground path across multiple enclosures or rails.
Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and finished with high-quality electro-tin plating, the BGBL-1/0 provides a low-resistance connection that resists atmospheric corrosion. Its AL9CU dual-rating ensures safety and code compliance when used with both copper and aluminum conductors.

Key Features & Benefits
-
Lay-In Design Advantage: Eliminates the need to cut the conductor or strip ends for mid-run grounding. Simply "lay" the wire into the open side port for a faster, safer installation.
-
Continuous Run Integrity: Perfect for grounding solar arrays or bonding industrial racks where an unbroken ground wire is required for system safety.
-
Universal AL9CU Compatibility: Fully certified for both copper and aluminum stranded wires, preventing galvanic corrosion and providing job-site flexibility.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Durable electro-tin plating ensures long-term reliability in damp or outdoor environments by inhibiting oxidation.
-
Versatile Mounting: The compact 1.5-inch footprint and 1/4" stud hole allow for easy integration into tight electrical gutters and equipment busbars.
