Bootlace tip copper EB1478098540 with polypropylene insulation

Copper bootlace tip EB1478098540 with polypropylene insulation is a crimp connector designed for terminating stranded wires to create compact, reliable electrical connections. The part combines a copper conductive sleeve that provides good electrical contact and a polypropylene insulating collar that offers mechanical protection and basic electrical isolation. It is intended for use in electrical panels, terminal blocks and wiring harnesses where consistent crimp quality and space-saving terminations are required.

Advantages

The copper sleeve ensures low contact resistance and stable conductivity across repeated connections. Polypropylene insulation provides dimensional stability, resistance to common solvents and mechanical protection of the conductor end. The combination of a metallic sleeve and an insulating collar helps prevent fraying of stranded wire and facilitates reliable insertion into terminal clamps or connectors. The design supports consistent crimping with standard insulated or non-insulated crimp tools.

Suitable for

• Terminating stranded copper wires in electrical distribution panels
• Creating reliable connections on terminal blocks
• Assembly of wiring harnesses and control cabinets
• Field or workshop crimping where compact insulated terminations are needed

Key specifications

• Conductor material: copper sleeve for electrical conductivity
• Insulation material: polypropylene collar for mechanical protection and basic electrical isolation
• Application: crimp termination for stranded wires
• Compatibility: designed for insertion into standard terminal clamps and connector housings
• Construction: tubular metal sleeve with molded insulating collar

How to use

Select a bootlace tip size appropriate for the conductor cross-section. Strip the wire to the correct length, insert the stranded conductor fully into the copper sleeve so the strands are contained within the metal tube, and position the polypropylene collar against the insulation. Use a suitable crimping tool to compress the sleeve evenly, forming a secure mechanical and electrical joint. After crimping, inspect the termination for firm mechanical hold and that the insulating collar covers the conductor end as intended.

Usage recommendations

Use the bootlace tip with a crimp tool matched to the terminal size to achieve consistent results. Avoid overheating the polypropylene insulation with soldering or excessive heat sources; polypropylene provides basic thermal resistance but is not intended for high-temperature applications. For installations requiring higher insulation ratings or exposure to aggressive chemicals or extreme temperatures, select an appropriate alternative insulation material.
