Compression cable lugs, DIN 46235: stud hole, palm width and length, 6 to 300 mm² × M5 to M20 (+ stud-hole gauge)

sizes

69 in table

Notes

• DIN 46235 compression (crimp) cable lugs: a copper tube lug with a flat palm and one hole, crimped hexagonally onto a round stranded conductor of 6 to 1000 mm² (Klauke: stud hole M5 to M20). Cross-sections here are 6 to 300 mm²; the same d1, d3 apply to every stud size of a cross-section, while d2 (the hole) depends on the stud only: M5 5.3, M6 6.4, M8 8.4, M10 10.5, M12 13, M14 15, M16 17, M20 21 mm. Both facts are checked on all 69 rows.
• Source: a lug catalogue mirrored at dtsheet.com (order numbers 14978xxxxx). The copy is flattened text and the source itself warns the columns were re-aligned, so six rows were checked against independent maker pages: 240 mm² M12 at HELUKABEL agrees on all four values (hole 13, strand bore 21.5, width 42.5, length 92); Schrack 150 mm² M10: width 34, length 78, hole 10.5 (table: 34, 79, 10.5).
• Makers differ by about a millimetre on b and l: Pfisterer's 10 mm² M6 lug has b 8.5, d1 4.5, d2 6.5, L 27.5 (table: b 10, d1 4.4, d2 6.4, l 27); 50 mm² M12: b 22, d1 10, d2 13, L 51 (table: b 23, d1 9.8, d2 13, l 52); 120 mm² M10: b 32, d1 15.5, d2 10.5, L 69 (table: b 31, d1 15.5, d2 10.5, l 70). DIN 46235 fixes the stud holes and strand bores; the palm width and length are maker values, so use the lug you buy for anything tighter than ±1 mm.
• Column meanings: l is the length to the centre of the stud hole (HELUKABEL's legend); d is the strand-receptacle bore (HELUKABEL), here d1; the table prints a third diameter d3, which by its size (a few mm over d1) is the barrel's outside diameter. 'Not in the standard' rows (*) are the catalogue's own marking of sizes outside DIN 46235.
• File: one hole gauge plate with the eight stud-hole diameters from the table. The plate size, spacing and thickness are an example, the holes are the catalogue's. Lug solids are not drawn: palm thickness, barrel length and the palm-to-barrel transition are not in any table read.
• Smaller lugs for crimp terminals by stud size and AWG are on the ring-tongue page; wire ferrules for clamp terminals are on their own page.
