We supply standard catalogue sizes as well as fully custom earth tags to your drawings, samples, or specifications. Contact us at sales@brass-copper-parts.com for quotes and technical enquiries.
What Are Brass Earth Tags & Cable Gland Earth Tags?
A Brass Earth Tag is a flat or formed metal lug fitted at earthing connection points on electrical panels, junction boxes, control cabinets, switchgear, motors, and building structures. A Cable Gland Earth Tag is a specially shaped tag that clamps over the threaded body of a cable gland, establishing earth continuity between a cable’s armour and the equipment enclosure — a critical safety requirement in industrial and hazardous-area wiring installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is the difference between a standard earth tag and a cable gland earth tag?
A standard earth tag is a flat lug fastened at earthing points on panels or structural steelwork. A cable gland earth tag sits around the threaded body of a cable gland to maintain earth continuity between the cable armour and the equipment enclosure — essential in SWA and armoured cable installations per BS 7671 and IEC 60364.
Q2. Which material is better — brass or copper?
Brass offers excellent machinability, good corrosion resistance, and adequate conductivity at a cost-effective price — making it the most popular choice. Copper provides the highest electrical conductivity and is preferred for high-current or critical earthing applications. We supply both and can advise based on your application requirements.
Q3. Can you supply tinned brass earth tags?
Yes. Electroplated bright tin-coated brass earth tags are a standard offering. Tin plating (2–10 microns) significantly improves corrosion resistance and solderability. Hot-dip tinned tags are also available for marine and coastal applications.
Q4. Do your earth tags comply with international standards?
Our earth tags can be manufactured to BS 951, IEC 60998, DIN VDE, and other applicable standards. All materials are RoHS and REACH compliant. Material test certificates (MTCs) and third-party inspection reports are available on request.
Q5. What hole and bolt sizes are available?
We manufacture earth tags with hole sizes from M3 to M16 (metric) and 1/8″ to 5/8″ (imperial). Double-hole configurations and custom hole patterns are also available. Simply specify the bolt size or provide a drawing.
Q6. Can I get cable gland earth tags for M25, M32, M40, or M50 glands?
Yes. We supply earth tags to fit all standard metric thread sizes M12–M63, PG thread series PG7–PG48, and NPT/BSP standards 1/2″–2″. Non-standard sizes are available as custom orders.
Q7. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Standard MOQ is 500 pieces for catalogue sizes. For custom or specially plated tags, MOQ varies. Trial orders are considered for new customers — email sales@brass-copper-parts.com to discuss.
Q8. Do you manufacture non-standard or custom earth tags?
Yes. Custom earth tags from customer drawings, CAD files, or samples are a core capability. We develop in-house tooling quickly and cost-effectively for bespoke profiles and tight-tolerance parts.
Q9. Are your brass earth tags RoHS compliant?
Yes. All standard brass and copper earth tags are manufactured from RoHS-compliant alloys, free from restricted substances. Written RoHS declarations and MSDS documents are available on request.
Q10. How are earth tags packaged for export?
Parts are packed in polybags with quantity labels, placed in corrugated cartons. Export shipments include moisture-barrier VCI bags and desiccant sachets where required, with full labelling including product details, country of origin, and HS codes. Custom packaging is available.
Q11. What is the lead time for custom orders?
New tooling and custom parts: 3–4 weeks from drawing approval. Catalogue and repeat orders: 7–10 working days. Rush orders can be accommodated — contact us to discuss your timeline.
Q12. Can you provide material test certificates (MTCs)?
Yes. Mill-issued MTCs are provided with every order. Third-party laboratory testing and inspection by agencies such as SGS or Bureau Veritas can be arranged at the customer’s request.
Q13. What countries do you export to?
We regularly export to the UK, Germany, Netherlands, USA, Canada, Australia, UAE, Singapore, South Africa, Nigeria, and beyond. Our products serve electrical panel manufacturing, industrial automation, renewable energy, marine, and infrastructure projects worldwide.
Q14. Do you support OEM and private-label supply?
Yes. We are a preferred OEM supply partner for electrical accessories manufacturers and wholesale distributors globally. We offer volume pricing, stocking programmes, custom packaging with your brand, and dedicated supply chain support. Email sales@brass-copper-parts.com to discuss your OEM requirements.
