What is lug in electrical?
Lug (electrical connector), a bolt on an enclosure tied to an electric potential within the enclosure, supporting the connection of a cable.
Electrical lugs are used when permanent connection is not possible between devices or cables. Use of cable lugs allows in easy installation, repair and maintenance of electrical devices or cables. Most common use of lugs includes connecting one cable with another cable or connection more than two cables.
According to the different installation methods and structural forms, equipment lugs are divided into two types: bolt type and compression type.
PowerLug is a durable, low-voltage drop termination fabricated from the stranded ends of the cable itself. This very reliable “lug” is formed using stranded power cable. Since the wire is used to make the lug itself, the circuit current rating is limited only by the wire and not the lug.
Lug: An electrical connector that incorporates a wire crimp connection and a bolted stud hole connection for use in a heavy duty electrical power or grounding application.

From Transformers Wiki
Lug is a Transformer from the 2005 IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family. At first she was essentially Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense.

Choosing the right cable lug also depends on the conductor class to be processed. As an example, the following cable lug types are available for cables according to DIN EN 60228: Class 1, 2, 5 and 6 conductors: compression cable lugs according to DIN 46235. Class 2 conductors: standard type tubular cable lugs.
Cable lugs are connectors that are used to connect/terminate cables together, and they form an important part of an electrical system. Cable lugs are normally made from one of two metals – copper or aluminium or their respective alloys.
What is a connecting lug?
Handles or connectors
Lug (electrical connector), a bolt on an enclosure tied to an electric potential within the enclosure, supporting the connection of a cable.
They are widely used for applications where electrical wire is terminated to a machine or electrical equipment. They are used for terminating cables where vibration is critical.
Crimping lugs are devices used for connecting cables to electrical appliances, other cables, surfaces, or mechanisms. The clamps that connect wires to an automotive battery are a common example of a crimping lug, as are the ends of battery jumper cables.
There are four basic types of electrical terminations: chip, coaxial, SCSI, and waveguide.

Battery lugs are used to connect the battery cable to a solenoid or starter post (image left.) Battery terminals are most frequently used to connect a battery cable to a battery, often seen in automotive or marine applications (image right.)
The International Standard IEC 1238 Part 1 applies to electrical and mechanical properties of cable lugs. The requirements for a permanent and safe electrical connection for the intended application are detailed in this standard. Both a mechanical pull-out test and an electrical durability test are defined.
They are widely used for applications where electrical wire is terminated to a machine or electrical equipment. They are used for terminating cables where vibration is critical.
