Intercable ICIAE158 Black 1.7 mm Wire Ferrule with 1.5 mm² Maximum Cable Section and Tin Plated Connector Contacts

The Intercable ICIAE158 black wire ferrule is engineered to provide secure and reliable electrical connections for various wiring applications. Designed with precision, this ferrule helps prevent wire fraying and ensures a stable termination point when working with stranded conductors. It is manufactured to meet technical demands, featuring tin-plated connector contacts that offer enhanced corrosion resistance and optimal electrical conductivity over time. The functional design makes it a practical choice for both professional electricians and technicians involved in structured cable management and installation projects.

Advantages

This wire ferrule significantly improves the reliability of electrical connections by grouping fine wire strands together into a solid unit, which prevents loose connections and potential short circuits. The tin plating on the connector contacts protects the metal against oxidation and environmental wear, thereby maintaining low contact resistance and stable performance throughout the lifespan of the installation. Its precise dimensions allow for consistent crimping results, ensuring that the cable remains firmly anchored within the terminal block or connector without sustaining damage.

Suitable for

• Professional electrical installations and control panel wiring
• Cable management and termination tasks for stranded wires
• Connecting 1.5 mm² cables to terminal blocks and screw connections
• Maintenance and repair work in industrial and commercial electrical systems

When it may not be suitable

This wire ferrule is not designed for use with solid core cables, as solid wires do not require a ferrule for termination. Additionally, it is unsuitable for cables with a cross-section larger than 1.5 mm² or significantly smaller diameters that would result in an insecure crimp.

Key specifications

• Product colour: Black
• Maximum cable section: 1.5 mm²
• Connector contacts plating: Tin
• Strip length: 8 mm
• Diameter: 3.5 mm
• Inner diameter: 1.7 mm

How to use

To use the wire ferrule correctly, strip the cable insulation precisely to the required strip length of 8 mm to ensure that no bare wire is exposed beyond the plastic collar and that the conductor fills the metal tube entirely. Insert the stripped stranded conductor fully into the inner diameter of 1.7 mm of the ferrule. Use a calibrated crimping tool designed for the appropriate cable section to press the metal sleeve securely onto the wire strands. Once crimped, the finished conductor can be safely inserted into the corresponding terminal and tightened according to the manufacturer specifications.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable cross-section matches the maximum supported size of 1.5 mm²
• Check the inner diameter of 1.7 mm against the outer diameter of your stripped conductor
• Ensure you have the correct crimping tool compatible with this ferrule type
• Confirm the required strip length of 8 mm aligns with your working procedure

Usage recommendations

Always use a properly calibrated crimping tool to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical bond between the wire ferrule and the conductor, and inspect the finished crimp before inserting it into live electrical equipment.
