Rivet Lugs

The rivet lug

A rivet lug is first fixed mechanically, with a rivet, onto an insulating board or plate; the conductor is then soldered onto it. The result is a sturdy, well-positioned connection point, as on a transformer terminal board. Our rivet lugs are made of RoHS-compliant tinned brass for easy soldering and good resistance to oxidation.

Five shapes

• N34 lug: U profile, 6.5 x 8 x 3.6 mm, 0.40 mm thick, 2.9 mm base.
• N795A lug: square base and vertical shank, 7 mm high, 2.8 mm base, 5.5 mm opening.
• N860 lug: flat and tapered, 15 x 6 mm, 3.1 mm base, 0.35 mm thick.
• N869 lug: compact and angled, 11.7 mm long, 0.30 mm thick, 3.2 mm hole.
• N891 lug: bent at 110°, 7.5 x 6.9 mm, 2.8 mm base, 0.50 mm thick.

To choose, compare the base with the hole in your board or plate, then the shape with the space available. A 50 to 100 W soldering iron is enough to solder the conductor. See also our solder terminals and the whole solder lugs category.
