Panduit LAMA350-38-QY Aluminum Mech Lug, 350 kcmil, 3/8-Inch Stud Hole

Description

Product Overview

The Panduit LAMA350-38-QY is engineered as a one‑hole aluminum mechanical lug that combines robust construction with space‑saving design. Crafted from a high‑strength extruded aluminum alloy, the lug offers superior electrical conductivity and mechanical durability, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. Its tin‑plated finish inhibits corrosion, extending the service life even in harsh conditions such as moisture‑rich or chemically aggressive locations.

Designed for a 3/8‑inch stud hole, this lug accommodates 350 kcmil conductors, providing a secure and low‑resistance connection point. The compact profile reduces panel congestion, allowing more components to be installed within limited space. An integrated inspection window enables technicians to visually confirm full conductor insertion, ensuring a reliable termination without the need for disassembly.

Dimensions of 1.18 × 4.8 × 12.52 inches and a weight of just 1.44 ounces make the LAMA350-38-QY lightweight yet sturdy. Since its introduction in September 2017, the product has maintained a strong reputation, reflected in a perfect 5‑star rating from verified customers. Its compatibility with a wide range of wire sizes further simplifies inventory management for distributors and end‑users alike.

Beyond its core specifications, the lug’s design emphasizes ease of installation. The smooth interior surface reduces friction during wire insertion, while the tin‑plated coating minimizes the risk of oxidation, ensuring consistent performance over the product’s lifespan. This combination of material quality, thoughtful engineering, and user‑centric features positions the LAMA350-38-QY as a reliable choice for critical power distribution applications.

Overall, the Panduit LAMA350-38-QY delivers a balance of high‑current capacity, corrosion resistance, and space efficiency, making it an ideal component for industrial panels, motor control centers, and other high‑performance electrical assemblies.

Usage

Designed for industrial electrical systems, this lug excels in applications such as motor control centers, switchgear, and distribution panels where reliable high‑current connections are essential. Its ability to handle 350 kcmil conductors makes it suitable for heavy‑duty power feeds, including three‑phase motor circuits and large transformer connections.

Installation technicians benefit from the lug’s straightforward termination process. The one‑hole design aligns quickly with standard stud bolts, and the inspection window provides immediate visual confirmation of proper wire seating, reducing installation errors and re‑work time. This efficiency is especially valuable in large‑scale projects where time‑critical installation schedules are common.

In environments with exposure to moisture, chemicals, or temperature fluctuations, the tin‑plated surface protects the connection from corrosion, ensuring long‑term reliability. Whether used in manufacturing plants, oil and gas facilities, or renewable energy installations, the LAMA350-38-QY maintains performance under demanding conditions.

For maintenance personnel, the compact size simplifies panel access, allowing easier inspection and replacement without extensive disassembly. The lug’s compatibility with a broad wire range also means that a single part can serve multiple circuit sizes, streamlining spare‑part inventories and reducing logistical complexity.
