Burndy YA6CL-BOX One Hole Hylug Conductor Terminal #6 AWG Pack of 50

Description

Product Overview

The Burndy YA6CL-BOX one‑hole Hylug code conductor terminal is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial electrical installations. Constructed from high‑conductivity copper, each terminal provides a low‑resistance path that ensures efficient power transfer and minimizes heat buildup, even under continuous load conditions. The compression design eliminates the need for solder, reducing installation time while delivering a mechanically robust connection that resists loosening due to vibration or thermal cycling.

With a stud hole size of 1/4″ and a tongue width of 0.45″, the terminal is optimized for rectangular terminal blocks commonly found in control panels, motor starters, and distribution boards. The #6 AWG conductor rating aligns with standard wire gauges used in heavy‑duty applications, allowing for up to 600 V operation and providing a safety margin that complies with UL and CSA certification requirements. Each unit measures 1.18″ in length, offering sufficient contact surface while maintaining a compact profile that saves valuable panel space.

Packaging dimensions of 3.4 x 3 x 2.3 inches and a net weight of 13.6 ounces per pack of 50 terminals make handling and inventory management straightforward for electricians, contractors, and procurement specialists. The product’s best‑seller rank within the Rectangular Terminals sub‑category reflects its popularity among professionals who prioritize reliability, ease of use, and consistent performance across a wide range of industrial environments.

Usage

These terminals are ideally suited for a variety of applications, including power distribution panels, motor control centers, PLC wiring, and renewable energy systems such as solar inverters and wind turbine controllers. Their robust copper construction and compression mechanism make them an excellent choice for environments where temperature fluctuations, mechanical stress, and exposure to moisture are common. Whether you are assembling a new control cabinet or retrofitting an existing system, the YA6CL-BOX terminal provides a dependable connection that meets both code and performance standards.

Installation is straightforward: strip the wire to the appropriate length, insert the conductor into the terminal’s barrel, and apply the compression tool to secure the connection. The result is a tight, uniform clamp that maintains electrical continuity without the need for additional fasteners or adhesives. This simplicity translates into reduced labor costs and faster project turnaround, which is especially valuable on large‑scale installations where dozens or hundreds of connections are required.

Because the terminal is UL listed and CSA certified, it can be confidently used in safety‑critical systems such as fire alarm panels, emergency lighting circuits, and industrial automation networks. Its ability to handle up to 35 kV in certain configurations further expands its applicability to high‑voltage distribution scenarios, making it a versatile component in both low‑ and medium‑voltage projects.
