Insulated Pin
An insulated pin terminal turns a stranded wire into a solid pin with a colour-coded sleeve right up to the terminal. Panel builders, switchgear assemblers, electricians and dealers use these pin type insulated lugs in MCBs, contactors and clamp terminals. Each insulated pin lug keeps loose strands out of the terminal and shows the wire size by colour.

Insulated Pin Type Lugs for Switchgear Wiring
Clamp terminals grip a solid pin far better than loose strands, and the sleeve guards against stray contact with the next terminal. Insulated pin type lugs also give a tidy, uniform look that makes panel inspection quicker. Push the pin fully home before tightening, so no bare metal shows above the terminal. Choose the pin length to suit the terminal depth and check each product page for sizes. Insulated pins also stop the wire from fraying at the terminal edge after repeated tightening.
