Klauke 8728 Twin Wire End Ferrule Black 2 mm² Copper Contacts

The Klauke 8728 Twin Wire End Ferrule in black is designed to accommodate a maximum cable section of 2 mm², featuring high-quality copper connector contacts for dependable electrical connections. Manufactured by Gustav Klauke GmbH, this twin wire end ferrule ensures secure wire termination and prevents fraying of stranded conductors in electrical installations. It provides an efficient solution for grouping two conductors into a single terminal point while maintaining stable contact performance.

Advantages

This twin wire end ferrule utilizes copper contacts to ensure optimal electrical conductivity and low contact resistance. The design securely holds stranded wires together, preventing individual strands from breaking or straying during installation into screw or spring clamp terminals. Its black colour coding assists with organized circuit identification and wire management in complex control panels and electrical enclosures. By providing a solid termination point, it contributes to long-term reliability and safety in various wiring environments.

Suitable for

• Terminating twin stranded copper wires up to 2 mm² in electrical control cabinets
• Wiring distribution blocks and terminal strips in industrial automation systems
• Connecting dual conductors to circuit breakers and relays
• General electrical installation and maintenance projects requiring secure wire management

When it may not be suitable

This component is not designed for solid core wires, as wire end ferrules are specifically intended for stranded conductors to prevent strand damage. It is also unsuitable for cable cross-sections exceeding the specified 2 mm² maximum limit or applications requiring high-temperature or specialized corrosion-resistant coatings not provided by standard copper contacts.

Key specifications

• Brand: Gustav Klauke GmbH
• Product type: Twin wire end ferrule
• Colour: Black
• Maximum cable section: 2 mm²
• Contact material: Copper

How to use

To use the Klauke 8728 twin wire end ferrule, strip the insulation from the ends of the two conductors to match the barrel length of the terminal. Insert both stripped stranded wires fully into the plastic funnel of the ferrule until the conductor strands reach the end of the copper sleeve. Crimp the metal sleeve securely using a properly calibrated crimping tool designed for twin wire end ferrules. Once crimped, the termination is ready to be inserted into the designated electrical terminal block and fastened securely.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the maximum cable section of 2 mm² matches the total cross-sectional area of the two wires being combined
• Confirm that the terminal block or connector type is compatible with twin wire end ferrules
• Ensure a suitable crimping tool for twin ferrules is available for proper installation
• Check colour-coding requirements for your specific wiring standards and panel design

Usage recommendations: Always select the correct ferrule size for your conductor cross-section and use a professional ratcheting crimping tool to ensure a secure, gas-tight electrical connection that complies with standard wiring practices.
