A cable lug for mounting on the end of a cable for making electrical connection between a conductor of the cable and

other electrical equipment. The lug includes a palm for connecting the lug to the electrical equipment, a generally

elongate cylindrical barrel for receiving therein one end of the cable conductor, and an insert for disposal within the

barrel and for extending around and along the inner surface of the barrel to align the lug more concentrically on smaller

cables, preferably with the barrel being conveniently made with uniform wall thickness.

A cable or a cable receptacle and a method of forming same are disclosed. The cable lug or cable receptacle has a flat part

and a tube portion integrally formed together as one piece. The flat part has opposing surfaces which abut against each other.

The flat part and the tube portion are plated with tin such that an integral bond is established between the abutting surfaces

of the flat part.
