Lay-In Lug With Conduction Pad Abstract A lay-in lug to be coupled to a bushing, or the like, for providing a low resistance grounding connection between a wire secured in the lug and the bushing. The lug comprises a body member and a conduction member for providing strength and a low resistance conduction path, respectively. The body member supports the conduction member and includes resilience to compensate for cold flow of the laid-in wire. The conduction member is in direct contact with both the laid-in wire and the bushing to provide superior conduction between the wire and the bushing. In addition, the wire is pressed against one side of the back portion of the body member and the reverse side of the back of the body member is in direct contact with a back section of the conduction member. Although the conductivity of the body member is not as good as that of the conduction member, the resistance through the back of the body member between the wire and the back of the conduction member is not large due to the fact that the path is short and the cross-sectional area is relatively large. The body and conduction member are fabricted with appropriate proportions and angles to encourage controlled deformation of the conduction member as the lug is attached to the bushing and to assure improved conduction of the combination and good support for the conduction member.
