Bootlace tip EB901790859 insulated copper, 8 mm bore, single crimp

Insulated bootlace tip EB901790859 is a copper termination designed for stranded conductors with an 8 mm bore. The product provides a protected, compact end for cables to improve electrical contact and prevent fraying of strands. With insulation around the ferrule, it helps ensure safer handling and reduced risk of short circuits when used in electrical panels, distribution boxes and industrial wiring installations.

Advantages

The copper construction delivers good conductivity and corrosion resistance while the insulated collar offers electrical protection and mechanical strain relief. The 8 mm bore accommodates specific conductor cross-sections for a snug fit and single-crimp design allows quick, repeatable terminations using standard crimping tools. The ferrule shape keeps conductor strands bundled for consistent contact when inserted into screw or clamp terminals.

Suitable for

• Terminating stranded conductors in control cabinets and switchgear
• Electrical distribution panels and circuit breaker connections
• Industrial machinery wiring and terminal blocks
• Field wiring where a compact, insulated cable end is required

Key specifications

• Material: copper conductor with insulated collar
• Bore/inner diameter: 8 mm
• Termination type: single crimp bootlace tip
• Intended conductor type: stranded copper conductors
• Protection: insulated sleeve for electrical isolation and strain relief

How to use

Strip the conductor to the recommended length for the ferrule, insert the stranded conductor fully into the bootlace tip until the insulation meets the collar, and perform a single crimp at the ferrule body using an appropriate crimping tool sized for an 8 mm bore ferrule. After crimping, verify that strands are secured and that the insulated collar covers the exposed conductor. Insert the terminated end into the terminal or clamp and tighten according to the terminal manufacturer's torque specification.

Usage recommendations

Use a quality crimping tool matched to the ferrule size to achieve a reliable electrical and mechanical connection; avoid using pliers or undersized tools. Confirm conductor compatibility with the 8 mm bore and follow local electrical codes and torque requirements when installing in panels or equipment.
