Pin Lugs for Terminal Blocks and Switchgear
A pin gives the terminal screw a solid surface to clamp, so the joint stays tight even after repeated tightening. Choose the pin length to suit the terminal depth and the barrel to suit the cable size. Refer to each product page for sizes, as the pin must fit the terminal opening. A neat row of pins also shows at a glance that every wire is fully home.
Crimp them with a pin type crimping tool for a round, even crimp, or a lug crimping tool for general sizes. Ferrules are a lighter option for fine wire, so see our cord end terminal range. Every order comes direct from Ashwin Tools with 10-day returns. Switchgear dealers can apply through our dealership programme.
