Klauke Cable Lugs -  DIN 46235 Standard Cable Lugs

DIN standard 46235 defines the application, dimensions and marking of crimp cable lugs. DIN 46235 standard allows use of cable lugs for compression of solid, stranded, fine stranded and finest stranded copper conductors. Markings on Klauke cable lugs provide the installer with essential information relating to the origin and application of the DIN 46235 cable lugs, which also applies for standard tubular cable lugs.

For example, a cable lug with marking Klauke “KL 22 12 – 150” shows :

KL: indicates manufacturer (in this case Klauke)
22: Die code (only for compression cable lugs DIN 46235)
12: Metric bolt size for connecting bolt: size M12
150: Cross section of conductor in sqmm

In addition, these Klauke cable lugs indicate the number of required crimps. For installing, the DIN standard recommends crimping dies according to DIN 48083 part 1, 3 and 4 for solid, stranded and fine stranded conductors. For braided ropes the standard refers to the information of the manufacturer. Klauke generally recommends the use of hexagon crimping dies according to DIN 48083, part 4 for installing of compression cable lugs DIN 46235. Range of cross section is from 6sqmm up to 1000sqmm, bolt sizes range from 5mm up to 20mm. Electrolytic copper according to EN 13600 is mandatory. For corrosion protection, compression cable lugs – also standard tubular cable lugs and terminals – are tin plated.

Klauke electrical compression connectors include : copper tube cable lugs and connectors (straight, angled crimp connectors for copper stranded and aluminium solid conductors), insulated cable lugs and connectors, stainless steel cable lugs and connectors, nickel cable lugs and connectors and DIN spec compression cable lugs and connectors.
