Description
Raco SC35-8 Cable Lug
The SC35-8 cable lug is a non-insulated ring terminal made of tinned copper. Designed for professional use to connect cables with a cross-section of approx. 35 mm² to studs with an M8 bolt hole. Suitable for heavy-duty electrical connections, battery terminals, grounding, and other high-current applications.
Advantages
High conductivity: Tin-coated copper ensures low resistance and minimal loss at high currents
Corrosion resistance: Tinned surface protects against oxidation, which is important in humid or aggressive environments
Robust and durable: Ring-shaped coupling provides a strong and secure mechanical connection
Versatile application: Can be used in both AC and DC applications

Temperature limit |
Up to approx. +120°C during operation (depends on cable type and load) |
Electrical classification |
IEC-60228 or equivalent conductor class standards |
Installation method |
Crimp recommended. Soldering can be used, but crimping provides a more consistent and durable connection |
Applications
Electrical boards and control panels
Battery systems and charging infrastructure
Solar power installations
Marine and automation systems
Grounding and power installations
Recommendations
Use the correct crimping tool and ensure the crimp covers the entire conductor of the cable end
For high currents: ensure that the cable dimension and number of conductors match the load to avoid overloading
Check the bolt and nut for a proper fit – excessive clearance can lead to poor contacts
For installations exposed to moisture or aggressive environments, additional protection such as sealing or coating is recommended
