Product Description
The Ilsco D2318 is a heavy-duty single-port mechanical terminal lug designed for high-capacity electrical terminations. Engineered for versatility, this single-barrel lug allows for the secure connection of massive conductors to transformer studs, bus bars, or panelboards in both industrial and commercial power distribution systems.
Precision-machined from high-strength 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and finished with electro-tin plating, the D2318 ensures maximum conductivity while preventing oxidation. Its AL9CU dual-rating makes it fully compatible with both copper and aluminum conductors, providing a flexible solution for high-load electrical projects.
