Product Description
The CMC YAZ2CTC38 is a premium, industrial-grade copper compression terminal engineered for high-performance electrical power systems. Designed for 2 AWG copper conductors, this lug features a long barrel that maximizes surface contact and pull-out strength. It is a critical component for motor leads, switchgear, and telecommunications power distribution.
Every YAZ2CTC38 is manufactured from high-conductivity seamless copper and finished with electro-tin plating. This coating drastically reduces galvanic corrosion and provides superior resistance to corrosive elements in harsh environments.

Physical Dimensions & Design
-
Internal Chamfered Entry: The barrel is designed with a precision internal chamfer at the wire entry to ensure smooth conductor insertion, preventing damaged or "bird-caged" strands during installation.
-
Inspection Window: Features a built-in viewing port that allows installers to visually confirm the wire is fully seated before crimping, ensuring a 100% secure connection.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Long Barrel Design: The extended barrel length allows for multiple crimps, providing higher mechanical pull-out strength and increased electrical conductivity.
-
Clear Identification: Each connector is clearly marked with permanent stamping and brown color coding to ensure the correct die selection (Die Index 10) during installation.
-
Corrosion Resistance: The electro-tin plating resists corrosive elements and reduces galvanic corrosion when used in bimetallic applications.
-
High-Voltage Reliability: Rated for up to 35kV when installed with proper high-voltage spacing and insulation per NEC requirements.
