Lapp L-RA 5 F Tubular Fork Lug for 0.5-1.5 mm² Cables, M6

The Lapp L-RA 5 F is a high-quality tubular fork lug designed for reliable electrical terminations. Engineered for precision, this straight connector is specifically suited for cables with a cross-section ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 mm² and is compatible with M6 studs. Its robust construction ensures a secure and stable connection, making it an essential component for professional electrical installations where safety and performance are paramount.

Advantages

This tubular fork lug features an innovative EASY-ENTRY funnel-shaped plastic sleeve that facilitates the quick and safe insertion of conductors, effectively preventing bent or crushed wires during installation. The component is manufactured with electrolytic tinning to provide maximum protection against corrosion, ensuring long-term durability. The flat receptacle material is double-folded and hard-soldered, which significantly enhances mechanical strength and improves current conduction. Furthermore, the internal corrugation of the metal sleeves ensures a superior grip, allowing for reliable performance in various demanding environments.

Suitable for

• Control cabinet wiring
• Industrial automation systems
• Electrical distribution panels
• General maintenance and repair of electrical equipment

When it may not be suitable

This connector is not intended for use with cables outside the specified 0.5 to 1.5 mm² range, as improper sizing can lead to loose connections or overheating. It is also not designed for high-vibration environments where a locking ring terminal might be required instead of a fork lug.

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 0.5 to 1.5 mm²
• Stud size: M6
• Material: Electrolytic tin-plated copper
• Connector type: Straight tubular fork lug
• Design: EASY-ENTRY funnel sleeve
• Quantity: 100 pieces per pack

How to use

To use the Lapp L-RA 5 F, first strip the insulation from the end of your conductor to the appropriate length. Insert the stripped wire into the EASY-ENTRY funnel of the lug until the conductor reaches the stop. Use a compatible crimping tool to apply pressure to the metal sleeve, ensuring a secure mechanical and electrical bond. Once crimped, the lug can be easily positioned onto the M6 stud and tightened with a nut to complete the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable cross-section falls within the 0.5 to 1.5 mm² range.
• Ensure the M6 stud size matches your connection point.
• Confirm that you have a suitable crimping tool for insulated tubular terminals.

Usage recommendations: Always ensure the crimping tool is calibrated correctly for the specific terminal size to achieve the best electrical conductivity and mechanical pull-out resistance.
