OEX ACX0116FE Cable Lug Solder or Crimp REF# 70-10 10Pk

OEX ACX0116FE Copper Zinc Plated Flared End Cable Lug 00 B&S REF 70 10 with 10mm Stud Hole Pack of 10

The OEX ACX0116FE is a heavy duty copper cable lug with zinc plating for 00 B&S wire (65.8mm²), the largest wire size in the OEX cable lug range. Reference number 70 10 indicates a 70mm barrel inner diameter and a 10mm stud hole. The flared end barrel guides cable strands into the barrel during installation, and the 10mm stud hole suits heavy duty battery terminals, busbars and connection points using M10 bolts. Supplied in a pack of 10 with a one year warranty.

Product overview

At 00 B&S (65.8mm²), the ACX0116FE targets the highest current automotive, marine and off grid electrical applications where maximum conductor cross section is required to handle very high current flows without excessive voltage drop or heat generation. Typical applications include main battery cables on large diesel vehicles, heavy electric winch circuits, high capacity dual battery and battery bank main interconnections, shore power inlet connections on caravans and motorhomes, and large off grid solar and inverter installations.

The flared end barrel design expands the cable entry opening outward, acting as a guide funnel for the large number of individual copper strands in 00 B&S cable. This guides strands cleanly into the barrel during installation without stray strands being left outside the crimp zone, which is particularly important at this cable size where strand count is high. The 10mm stud hole matches the stud size of the OEX ACX0025, ACX0026, ACX0027 and ACX0028 battery terminals, making the ACX0116FE the correct matching lug for these terminals. Copper construction provides excellent conductivity and zinc plating adds corrosion resistance for automotive and marine use.

Features and benefits

00 B&S (65.8mm²) capacity: The largest common automotive cable size, suited to extremely high current applications including main battery feeds on large diesel vehicles, heavy winch circuits and high capacity battery bank interconnections.

Flared end barrel for consistent large cable installation: The outward flared barrel entry guides the high strand count of 00 B&S cable cleanly into the barrel during installation, reducing stray strands outside the crimp zone and improving connection integrity on heavy gauge cable.

70mm barrel: The 70mm inner diameter barrel is correctly sized for 00 B&S cable, providing full contact between the barrel and cable conductor for a reliable crimp or solder joint.

10mm stud hole: The ring end fits M10 bolts, studs and terminals, compatible with the OEX ACX0025, ACX0026, ACX0027 and ACX0028 battery terminals which all use a 10mm stud.

Copper with zinc plating: Copper provides excellent electrical conductivity and zinc plating adds corrosion resistance for automotive and marine environments.

Solder or crimp termination: Compatible with both crimping and soldering, though a hydraulic or large mechanical ratchet crimper rated for 00 B&S cable is required for correct crimp termination at this cable size.

Pack of 10: Ten lugs per pack suits workshops and auto electricians working on high current main cable installations.

One year warranty: Covered by a one year OEX warranty.

Frequently asked questions

What applications require 00 B&S cable and lugs? 00 B&S (65.8mm²) is the largest common automotive cable, used where very high current must flow without excessive voltage drop or heat. Typical applications include main battery cables on large diesel vehicles, heavy electric winch circuits, high capacity dual battery and battery bank main interconnections, shore power inlet connections on caravans and motorhomes, and large off grid solar and inverter installations.

Why does the 10mm stud hole matter for battery terminal compatibility? The ACX0116FE's 10mm stud hole matches the 10mm stud size of the OEX ACX0025, ACX0026, ACX0027 and ACX0028 battery terminals in this range. This makes the ACX0116FE the correct matching lug for those terminals. The 6mm stud hole on the ACX0100 and ACX0103FE/50 would not fit the 10mm stud on those battery terminals.

What crimping tool is needed for 00 B&S lugs? Standard hand ratchet crimpers are not suitable for 00 B&S cable as the required crimp force exceeds what a hand tool can reliably deliver. A hydraulic lug crimper or a large mechanical ratchet crimper rated for 00 B&S is required for correct termination. Soldering 00 B&S cable is also technically demanding due to the large thermal mass, requiring a large capacity soldering iron or blowtorch technique. Professional installation is recommended for this cable size.

What is a flared end barrel and why does it matter at this cable size? The barrel has an outward flared entry opening that guides the cable strands into the barrel during installation. At 00 B&S, the strand count is very high and the individual strands are fine. The flared entry prevents strands from being left outside the crimp zone, which would reduce the effective cross section of the connection and create a potential failure point. The flared end makes installation cleaner and more consistent at this large cable size.

How does the ACX0116FE compare to the smaller lugs in the OEX range? The OEX cable lug range covers multiple wire sizes. The ACX0100 (REF 10 6) suits 8 B&S with a 6mm stud hole. The ACX0103FE/50 (REF 16 6) suits 6 B&S with a 6mm stud hole. The ACX0116FE (REF 70 10) suits 00 B&S with a 10mm stud hole. Select based on your wire size and the stud hole required at the connection point.
