Burndy KA26U Universal Terminal 2/0 Al/Cu, 1/4 Stud Hole, Pack of 50

Description

Product Overview

The Burndy KA26U universal terminal is a precision‑engineered rectangular connector designed to accommodate 2/0 gauge aluminum or copper conductors. Constructed from high‑grade aluminum alloy with a copper‑compatible option, the terminal provides excellent conductivity while resisting corrosion in harsh industrial environments. Each unit measures 0.63 inches in width, 1.47 inches in length, and 0.80 inches in height, with a stud hole diameter of 1/4 inch that aligns perfectly with standard panel boards. The terminal’s robust design supports a recommended tightening torque of 120 lb, ensuring a secure, low‑resistance connection that meets both UL and CSA certification requirements. Packaged in a convenient case of 50, the KA26U offers a cost‑effective solution for large‑scale wiring projects, from commercial building installations to heavy‑duty manufacturing facilities.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, the KA26U terminal excels in environments where reliable power distribution is critical. It is ideal for use in electrical panels, switchgear, motor control centers, and distribution boards that require a sturdy, high‑current connection point. The terminal’s 2/0 rating makes it suitable for feeding large loads such as HVAC systems, industrial machinery, and high‑capacity lighting circuits. Its universal compatibility with both aluminum and copper conductors simplifies inventory management for electricians, allowing a single part number to serve multiple conductor types. The 1/4 inch stud hole aligns with standard bolt sizes, facilitating quick installation with common tools. Whether you are retrofitting an existing facility or constructing a new plant, the KA26U provides the confidence of a proven connection that can withstand vibration, temperature extremes, and frequent maintenance cycles.
