BURNDY HYLUG YA2C2 Copper Mechanical Lug 2-Conductor

The BURNDY HYLUG YA2C2 is a dual-conductor mechanical compression lug engineered for copper conductors, providing a high-reliability bolted termination for two conductors simultaneously on a single stud or busbar connection point. Part of Hubbell BURNDY's HYLUG range — which is UL Listed under UL 486A and CSA 22.2 No. 65 — the YA2C2 is manufactured from electrolytic tough-pitch copper with a tin-plated contact surface, and its spring-loaded set screw mechanism delivers a consistent clamping force over the full range of conductor sizes from 10 AWG to 4/0 AWG (25mm² to 120mm²). The dual-barrel design eliminates the tap-off lugs, parallel splice connectors, and additional compression tools that would otherwise be needed to connect two conductors to a single terminal point, significantly simplifying installation and reducing the number of bolted connection joints in the circuit.

In Aramco industrial facilities, the HYLUG dual-conductor lug is heavily used in motor control centres, distribution boards, and junction boxes where multiple branch circuits share a common connection point — particularly where the bus stud count per panel is limited and the engineer cannot add a tap-off block without re-engineering the panel layout. BURNDY's HYLUG series has been used on Aramco-approved projects for decades, and the YA2C2 in particular appears frequently in 480V and 600V motor control centre panel schedules for GOSPs, pump stations, and gas compression facilities across the Eastern Province. The tin-plated copper construction avoids the aluminium oxidation problem that plagues aluminium mechanical lugs in humid coastal environments.

The set screw torque requirement for the YA2C2 is 36 Nm (per BURNDY installation data), achievable with a standard torque screwdriver or torque wrench without specialist hydraulic tooling — a practical advantage on maintenance and retrofit jobs where hydraulic crimp tools are not on-hand. The lug palm is drilled with standard IEC and NEMA mounting hole patterns for compatibility with both imported US-standard switchgear (common in Aramco) and locally manufactured panels built to IEC 60947 standards. The HYLUG design also accommodates mixed conductor materials (copper with copper) and eliminates the concern of galvanic corrosion that arises when aluminium mechanical lugs are used on copper conductors.
