 The following ring cable lugs are approved for achieving the required clearances and creepage distances: 
●  For applications according to IEC 60947-1: 
–  DIN 46237 (with insulating sleeve) 
–  JIS CS805 type RAV (with insulating sleeve) 
–  JIS CS805 type RAP (with insulating sleeve) 
●  For applications according to UL 508: 
–  DIN 46 234 (without insulating sleeve) 
–  DIN 46225 (without insulating sleeve) 
–  JIS CS805 (without insulating sleeve) 
A shrink-on sleeve must be used to insulate ring cable lugs without an insulating sleeve. The following 
conditions must be met: 
●  Application temperature: -55 °C to +155 °C 
●  UL 224 approved 
●  Flame-protected 
 
DANGER 
 
 
Hazardous voltage. 
Will cause death or serious injury. 
Only use approved ring cable lugs to meet the required clearances and creepage 
distances.
