Which of the following is an example of a crimp lug fitting?

• A. Twin cord end
• B. Male disconnect
• C. Knife type
• D. Square type

Answer: (A)

Crimp lug fittings are terminals that are crimped onto the end of a conductor to create a secure contact for mating with another component. A twin cord end is one such lug: it’s designed to terminate the end of a two-conductor cord by crimping the wires into the lug, forming a solid, connectable end. The other options describe different types of disconnects or terminal forms that aren’t crimp-on cord terminations, such as a quick-disconnect male contact, a blade-style (knife) disconnect, or another non-cord-end lug style. So the twin cord end is the example of a crimp lug fitting.
