Intercable ICAE1012 Silver Wire End Ferrule for 10 mm² Maximum Cable Section 4.6 mm Inner Diameter and 12 mm Length

The Intercable ICAE1012 silver wire end ferrule is a reliable electrical component designed for professional cable termination applications. Engineered to support a maximum cable section of 10 mm², this ferrule ensures secure and neat cable management in various electrical setups. With its precise dimensions, including a 4.6 mm inner diameter and a 12 mm length, it fits designated conductor sizes accurately, preventing frayed strands and establishing stable connections.

Advantages

This wire end ferrule features tin-plated connector contacts which enhance electrical conductivity and provide resistance against corrosion. The high-quality construction ensures a secure grip on stranded wires, minimizing the risk of loose connections over time. By consolidating fine wire strands into a solid unit, it simplifies the insertion process into terminal blocks and screw connections, contributing to safer and more efficient electrical installations.

Suitable for

• Terminating 10 mm² flexible electrical cables in control panels
• Professional electrical wiring and maintenance work
• Securing stranded wires in industrial and residential switchboards
• Ensuring reliable connections in automation and distribution equipment

When it may not be suitable

This ferrule is not designed for cables exceeding a 10 mm² maximum cable section or for solid wire conductors that do not require strand containment. It is also unsuitable for applications requiring high-temperature or specialized chemical-resistant insulation beyond standard electrical installation environments.

Key specifications

• Maximum cable section: 10 mm²
• Inner diameter: 4.6 mm
• Length: 12 mm
• Connector contacts plating: Tin
• Product colour: Silver

How to use

To use the Intercable ICAE1012 wire end ferrule, first strip the electrical wire to match the 12 mm length of the sleeve. Twist the exposed strands slightly to ensure they are aligned, then carefully insert the stripped conductor fully into the inner diameter of the ferrule until the wire insulation meets the plastic collar or edge. Use a calibrated crimping tool designed for wire end ferrules to compress the metal sleeve securely onto the conductor strands. Once crimped, the wire is ready for safe insertion into the corresponding terminal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable cross-section matches the 10 mm² rating of the ferrule
• Check the inner diameter of 4.6 mm against the outer dimensions of your stripped conductor
• Ensure you have a compatible crimping tool suitable for this size of wire end ferrule
• Confirm the 12 mm length is appropriate for your specific terminal depth

Always disconnect power to the electrical circuit before performing any installation or maintenance work, and use the correct crimping tools to ensure a safe and durable connection.
