Product Description
The Burndy BGBL-250 is a high-performance QIKLUG™ series mechanical terminal designed specifically for efficient grounding and bonding. Its standout feature is the "lay-in" design, which allows for a continuous conductor to be placed into the lug without cutting or breaking the wire. This makes it a top choice for solar array grounding, telecommunications bonding, and industrial equipment loops where maintaining a solid, unbroken ground path is critical.
Precision-manufactured from high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and finished with electro-tin plating, the BGBL-250 ensures maximum conductivity and durability. Its AL9CU dual-rating provides the versatility to terminate both copper and aluminum conductors safely in 600V applications.

Key Features & Benefits
-
Time-Saving Lay-In Design: Enables rapid installation on long cable runs; simply lay the conductor into the side-entry port—no need to cut the wire or feed it through a closed barrel.
-
Continuous Loop Integrity: Ideal for solar bonding and grounding busbars where an unbroken ground wire is required to connect multiple points in sequence.
-
Universal AL9CU Compatibility: Certified for both copper and aluminum wires, reducing inventory needs and preventing galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.
-
Corrosion Protection: The electro-tin plating provides a robust barrier against oxidation, essential for grounding connections often exposed to humidity or outdoor conditions.
-
Reliable Securement: The 5/16" hex head pressure screw ensures high clamping force for a permanent, low-resistance electrical bond.
