3M L-SB 35-150 Shear Bolt Terminal Lug 35–150 sqmm | 16 mm / 2-Lug
Shear Bolt Cable Lugs
35–150sqmm | 2-Lug
The 3M L-SB 35-150 shear bolt lug is engineered to provide secure, high-performance electrical connections for use with LV MV HV cable joints utilising Cold Shrink or heat-shrink technology in the following voltage ranges: 600V, 11kV, 15kV, 20kV and 33kV (36kV).
The 3M L-SB 35-150 cable lug is suitable for jointing cable conductors (copper or aluminium) ranging from 35sqmm to 150sqmm.
Designed for industrial and commercial electrical installations, this 2-lug shearbolt cable lug ensures reliability and safety in demanding environments in low, medium and high voltage power distribution systems – this range of lugs are specified and preferred for use with the 3M Electrical range of cable joints including Scotchcast resin types at LV and also the QS1000 range of Cold Shrink joints for medium/high voltage power cables, typically at 11kV and 33kV service voltages.
Contact Thorne & Derrick to discuss your requirement for the Jointing, Termination or Connection of power cables up to 66kV.
