They can be roughly divided into three groups: Compression cable lugs according to DIN 46235. Tubular cable lugs as commercially available standard types. Solderless terminals according to DIN 46234.
DIN 46235 is a standard that defines the applications, dimensions and the designation of compression cable lugs. Compression cable lugs according to this standard may be used for one, several, fine and super-fine stranded conductors. The conductor design is defined in DIN EN 60228 (IEC 60228). The conductor design was previously described in VDE 0295. Copper cables according to DIN 48201-1 can also be processed using these cable lugs.
