Using these Ancor tinned lugs is easy. First, make sure your cable is clean and stripped to the appropriate length. Then insert the cable into the lug barrel. Use a proper crimping tool to crimp the lug onto the cable firmly. When it comes to installation, ensure that the connection is secure to avoid any electrical issues. As for maintenance, check the lugs regularly for any signs of corrosion, especially if they are used in a marine environment. If you notice any corrosion, clean the lugs with a suitable electrical contact cleaner. Store the lugs in a dry place when not in use to prevent premature corrosion. And always follow safety procedures when working with electrical connections.
