  • Bolted ring cable lug | for cables and wires | 6–35mm² | M10 | up to 1–12kV | round | MLA-6-35X10

    Code: MLA-6-35X10

    MLA-6-35X10 is a bolted ring cable lug designed for connecting 6–35 mm² cables and conductors to an M10 bolted connection. The round ring design provides a secure and convenient mechanical connection, while the lug is suitable for use in electrical installations rated up to 1–12 kV.

  • Mechanical ring cable lug | 6–35 mm² | M10 | Al/Cu | up to 12 kV | MLA-6-35X10

    MLA-6-35X10 is a mechanical ring cable lug intended for connecting 6–35 mm² Al/Cu conductors to an M10 bolted connection point. The conductor is secured inside the lug body by a mechanical clamping screw, so no crimping tool is required for installation. According to supplier data, this model is specified for applications up to 12 kV, with an aluminium body and a tin-plated surface.

    Key point

    This is a mechanical screw-type cable lug, not a crimp lug. The stripped conductor is inserted into the lug body and mechanically clamped by the screw, while the ring section is fastened to an M10 connection point. When selecting the lug, consider not only conductor cross-section and material, but also conductor construction, the M10 connection point and the requirements of the connected equipment.

    Operating principle

    Unlike a crimp lug, the MLA-6-35X10 secures the conductor by means of a mechanical screw clamp. The stripped conductor is inserted into the lug body, and the clamping screw mechanically fixes the conductor in the contact section and establishes the electrical connection.

    The ring section is used to connect the lug to an M10 bolted terminal, busbar, terminal point or another compatible connection point. In this case, M10 refers to the size of the ring mounting point and not to the conductor clamping screw.

    Why use a mechanical lug?

    The mechanical design allows the conductor to be connected without using a mechanical or hydraulic crimping tool. This can be practical for repair, refurbishment and installation work where a screw-type connection is permitted by the cable and equipment requirements.

    Technical specifications

    Product type Mechanical ring cable lug
    Model MLA-6-35X10
    Conductor cross-section 6–35 mm²
    Conductor material Al/Cu according to supplier specification
    Ring size M10
    Installation method Mechanical screw clamping
    Number of clamping screws 1
    Supplier-stated voltage class up to 12 kV
    Body material Aluminium, according to supplier data
    Surface Tin-plated, according to supplier data
    Important: M10

    M10 refers to the size of the ring mounting point. Before installation, verify that the connection bolt, washers and contact surface are suitable for an M10 ring and for the specific electrical equipment.

    What does Al/Cu mean?

    According to the supplier specification, the MLA-6-35X10 is intended for Al/Cu conductors. This means the lug is intended for use with aluminium or copper conductors, but final suitability depends not only on material and cross-section, but also on the actual conductor construction.

    The Al/Cu designation should not be understood as automatic compatibility with every aluminium or copper cable. Before installation, check the conductor cross-section, conductor construction and the requirements of the connected equipment.

    What does the 6–35 mm² range mean?

    The 6–35 mm² range specifies the conductor cross-sections for which this lug is intended. Nominal cross-section alone may not always be sufficient when selecting a cable; the conductor construction and its actual compatibility with the lug contact section should also be considered.

    The lug should not be used with conductors outside the declared 6–35 mm² range.

    Main functions

    • Connection of 6–35 mm² conductors.
    • Intended for Al/Cu conductors according to supplier specification.
    • Mechanical conductor clamping – no crimping tool required.
    • M10 ring connection section.
    • One conductor clamping screw.
    • Aluminium body according to supplier data.
    • Tin-plated surface according to supplier data.
    • Supplier-stated voltage class up to 12 kV.

    Where is it used?

    • Electrical distribution and switchboard connections.
    • Connecting cables to M10 bolted terminals.
    • Busbars and other suitable bolted connection points.
    • Electrical installation repair work.
    • Electrical system refurbishment and modernisation.
    • Applications where a mechanical cable lug is specified by the project or equipment.

    Use by requirement

    For electricians
    A practical solution for connecting a 6–35 mm² conductor to an M10 connection point where a mechanical screw-type lug is permitted by the project.
    For panel builders
    The M10 ring section allows connection to a suitable bolted terminal or busbar when conductor and equipment parameters are compatible.
    For repair and refurbishment work
    The mechanical connection can be useful where no suitable crimping tool is available, provided the lug and equipment installation requirements are still followed.

    Correct installation principle

    1. Check that the conductor cross-section is within the 6–35 mm² range.
    2. Check the conductor material and construction and confirm compatibility with the lug.
    3. Strip sufficient insulation to allow full insertion into the contact section without damaging the conductor strands.
    4. Insert the conductor fully into the intended installation position.
    5. Clamp the conductor using the lug screw in accordance with the manufacturer's installation requirements.
    6. Check the mechanical retention of the conductor in the lug.
    7. Place the M10 ring section flat against the contact surface and secure it according to the connected equipment manufacturer's requirements.
    8. After final installation, visually check that the connection is correctly assembled and free from mechanical damage.
    Important: tightening torque

    The tightening torque for the conductor clamping screw or the M10 bolted connection should not be taken from generic tables or similar products. Follow the technical requirements for the specific lug and connected equipment.

    When to choose a mechanical lug and when a crimp lug?

    A mechanical lug is selected when this connection method meets the requirements of the cable, electrical equipment and project. Its main practical advantage is that no dedicated crimping tool is required for the conductor connection.

    Mechanical and crimp lugs are not automatically interchangeable. Final selection should be based on conductor type, cross-section, connection-point construction, voltage class and equipment manufacturer requirements.

    Advantages

    • 6–35 mm² conductor range.
    • Al/Cu application according to supplier specification.
    • No crimping tool required.
    • M10 ring connection section.
    • One conductor clamping screw.
    • Tin-plated surface according to supplier data.
    • Practical for installation, repair and refurbishment work.

    Limitations

    • Not suitable for conductors outside the 6–35 mm² range.
    • The Al/Cu designation does not by itself confirm compatibility with every conductor construction.
    • M10 refers to the ring mounting size, not the conductor clamping screw.
    • No specific tightening torque is stated without manufacturer documentation.
    • The lug should not be described as bimetallic unless directly confirmed by the manufacturer.
    • Rated current cannot be determined from conductor cross-section range alone.
    • Final suitability depends on the cable, connection point and connected equipment requirements.

    Safety and installation notes

    • De-energise the circuit before installation and verify that it is actually voltage-free.
    • Use only a lug suitable for the conductor cross-section, material and construction.
    • Do not damage the conductor strands while stripping insulation.
    • The conductor must be fully and correctly inserted into the lug contact section.
    • Tighten the clamping screw according to the manufacturer's technical requirements.
    • After clamping, check the mechanical retention of the conductor.
    • The M10 ring section must sit fully and evenly on the contact surface.
    • Fasteners must be compatible with the connected equipment connection point.
    • Electrical installation work should be carried out by qualified personnel.
