Marine Grade Copper Cable Lugs are typically made from high-conductivity copper (C101 or C110) with tin plating for corrosion resistance. Common sizes range from 6 AWG to 1000 MCM. They meet ASTM B105 or DIN 46235 standards. Material properties include high electrical conductivity (≥98% IACS) and tensile strength (200-250 MPa). Viscosity and buoyancy are not applicable. These lugs are designed for harsh marine environments with resistance to saltwater, UV, and extreme temperatures.
Electrical Systems in marine applications use tinned copper conductors (ASTM B33) with insulation like XLPE or EPR, rated for 600V-35kV. Cable sizes vary from 16 AWG to 2000 kcmil. They comply with IEC 60092, IEEE 45, or MIL-DTL-24643 standards. Key properties include flame retardancy, low smoke emission, and oil/chemical resistance. Buoyancy depends on cable construction but is generally neutral or slightly negative in water. Temperature range: -40°C to +90°C.
