Ancor Heavy Duty Lugs – 4 – 0 AWG – 5 – 16-inch Post – 10 Pack

Ensuring a secure and efficient electrical connection in harsh marine environments is crucial, and Ancor's Heavy Duty Lugs are the go-to solution for professionals and boat enthusiasts alike. This 10-pack of heavy-duty lugs caters to those using 4/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge) cables, and it is tailored to fit a 5/16-inch post. These lugs are precision engineered for high-performance marine applications, offering uncompromised quality and reliability.

Built with heavy duty annealed tinned copper, Ancor lugs facilitate superior current flow, essential for high-powered equipment. The 100% tin-plated copper construction is a testament to the lugs' exceptional corrosion resistance, making them an ideal choice for the moist, saline conditions characteristic of the marine setting.

Their seamless barrel design not only imparts additional strength upon crimping but also ensures a secure and stable electrical connection. With a closed end design that locks out moisture, these lugs are engineered to maintain a dry state for the enclosed wires, thereby averting the risk of corrosion from the inside out.

While offering superior protection and electrical conductivity, the Ancor Heavy Duty Lugs come with a safety advisory due to the presence of di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical known to the State of California to be potentially harmful. Customers are encouraged to visit P65Warnings.ca.gov for comprehensive safety information.
