Intercable ICIAE28 Blue insulated wire ferrule with 2.2 mm inner diameter for 2.5 mm² maximum cable section and tin-plated connector contacts

The Intercable ICIAE28 blue insulated wire ferrule is designed for professional electrical installation and secure cable termination. This reliable component helps prevent strand spreading when connecting flexible wires to terminal blocks, circuit breakers, and screw connections. Featuring a durable plastic insulation collar and a tin-plated metal tube, it ensures a strong and stable connection while protecting against corrosion.

Advantages

The insulated design of the Intercable ICIAE28 wire ferrule provides enhanced safety against accidental short circuits and improves mechanical stability at the connection point. The tin-plated connector contacts offer superior electrical conductivity and long-lasting resistance to oxidation and environmental wear. Its precise dimensions ensure a snug fit for compatible stranded conductors, facilitating faster and more reliable wiring processes in electrical panels and control cabinets.

Suitable for

• Terminating stranded copper wires in electrical control cabinets
• Securing connections in industrial machinery and automation systems
• Wiring distribution boards and consumer units
• General electrical installation and maintenance work

When it may not be suitable

This ferrule is not designed for solid core wires, as solid conductors do not require sleeve termination and may not fit properly within the inner diameter. Additionally, it is unsuitable for cable sections exceeding 2.5 mm² or applications requiring high-temperature specialized insulation beyond standard electrical installation requirements.

Key specifications

• Product colour: Blue
• Maximum cable section: 2.5 mm²
• Inner diameter: 2.2 mm
• Total diameter: 4.2 mm
• Strip length: 8 mm
• Connector contacts plating: Tin

How to use

Prepare the cable by stripping the insulation carefully to match the required 8 mm length without damaging the inner copper strands. Twist the stranded conductor lightly to ensure all individual wires are aligned properly. Insert the stripped end of the cable fully into the metal tube of the wire ferrule until the insulation collar meets the cable jacket. Secure the ferrule firmly using a calibrated crimping tool designed for insulated wire end sleeves before inserting the terminated end into the target terminal block or screw connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable cross-section matches the 2.5 mm² maximum capacity
• Check the inner diameter of 2.2 mm against your conductor dimensions
• Ensure you have a compatible crimping tool for proper installation
• Confirm the required strip length of 8 mm aligns with your working standards

Usage recommendations: Always use the correct crimping profile corresponding to the wire size to guarantee a secure mechanical hold and optimal electrical contact. Inspect terminated connections periodically in high-vibration environments to ensure long-term reliability.
