⚡ Dad Jokes & Introduction to a NEW Penn-Union Product

We’re bringing a little humor and a lot of innovation to your day!
Let’s start with a classic…


🔌 Electrical Dad Joke

Q: Why did the electrical connector go to therapy?
A: Because it had too many connections to deal with and couldn’t resist anymore!


🆕 BBLB & BBLS Stacking Lug Series


🔷 BBLB – Long Barrel, Two Hole Bottom Stacking Lug with Closed Transition (Cut sheet attached)

  • Manufactured from high conductivity seamless copper tubing
  • Electro-tin plated to ensure minimum contact resistance
  • Connectors are designed for use with the BBLS Series
  • Longer tongue design allows connectors to align properly with BBLS Series, allowing two conductors to be terminated to a common surface
  • For use in medium voltage applications up to 35 KV
  • Closed transition protects the end of the cable from environmental conditions
  • Beveled entry for easy cable insertion
  • Color-coded barrels are marked with die index numbers
  • Connectors are UL listed with Penn-Union, Burndy, Huskie, T&B, and Versa-Crimp® style tooling

🔧 The BBLB and BBLS Series are designed for:

🧩 Space Efficiency

Stacking lugs allow for multiple conductors to be connected in a compact space. This is particularly useful in confined areas where space is limited.

🔄 Versatility

Stacking lugs can accommodate various conductor sizes and types. This makes them versatile for different applications and simplifies the inventory management for electrical components.
