The project specification says, "All compression connectors for 10mm2 and larger conductors shall have a manufacturer's reference compression die number and conductor size printed or stamped on the connector".
If the marking requirement is not complied by lug vendors on the pad/tongue of the lugs, the same can be pressed into the lugs during crimping, using appropriate dies. Is this acceptable?
I say this because the pressed marking on the crimping part would be compared with the factory markings on the pad/tongue of the lugs for verification.
Even if the factory markings are not provided, the pressed marking on the crimping part would be verified with the catalogues /datasheet of the lugs.
