Product Description
The Ilsco T3A2-0 is a professional-grade, three-port mechanical terminal lug engineered for high-strength electrical connections. Part of the renowned T3A series, this lug is designed to consolidate three separate conductors into a single, secure mounting point. It is an ideal solution for power distribution in panelboards, control cabinets, and industrial machinery.
Precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, this lug offers the perfect balance of lightweight design and heavy-duty performance. Its AL9CU dual-rating ensures it is fully compatible with both copper and aluminum conductors, while the electro-tin plating provides a robust barrier against oxidation and galvanic corrosion.

Key Features & Benefits
-
Triple Conductor Capacity: Allows for the termination of three independent wires (up to 1/0 AWG) in one compact unit, saving significant space on busbars and equipment pads.
-
Dual-Rated Versatility: Certified for use with both Copper (Cu) and Aluminum (Al) conductors, providing a "one-stop" solution for any wiring project.
-
Stable 2-Hole Mounting: The two-hole design with 1" spacing provides superior anti-rotation stability and increased surface contact for better conductivity.
-
Corrosion Resistance: The tin-plated finish prevents the formation of aluminum oxide and allows for safe connection to copper busbars.
-
No Specialized Tools: Features high-pressure mechanical set screws that ensure a secure electrical bond using standard hex tools—no hydraulic crimpers required.
Technical Installation Tips
-
Wire Preparation: For aluminum conductors, the use of a quality oxide inhibitor (like Ilsco De-Ox) is highly recommended to maintain a gas-tight connection.
-
Mounting Spacing: Ensure your busbar or equipment pad is drilled for standard 1-inch center-to-center spacing to accommodate the 2-hole mounting pad.
-
High Voltage: While rated at 600V for standard use, this lug is suitable for up to 35kV applications when following industry-standard insulation and spacing protocols.
