Intercable ICIAE1612ELF Insulated Wire End Ferrule Yellow 16 mm² Maximum Cable Section 5.8 mm Inner Diameter 1.2 cm Strip Length Tin Plated Contacts

The Intercable ICIAE1612ELF insulated wire end ferrule in yellow is designed for secure and reliable wire termination in electrical installations. Engineered to support a maximum cable section of 16 mm², this professional wiring component ensures clean connection points, prevents stray strands, and maintains mechanical stability in demanding environments. Featuring tin-plated connector contacts, it provides high-level electrical conductivity and dependable corrosion resistance over long-term use.

Advantages

This insulated wire end ferrule offers exceptional reliability for professional electrical setups by grouping fine wire strands securely into a single terminal point. The integrated insulation sleeve simplifies handling and adds safety against accidental contact. The tin-plated surface protects the metal from oxidation, ensuring stable contact resistance and consistent power transmission throughout the lifespan of the installation.

Suitable for

• Terminating flexible copper cables up to 16 mm² in electrical panels
• Professional wiring applications in industrial and commercial distribution boards
• Securing stranded wires to prevent fraying and loose connections
• General electrical installation work requiring compliance with standard ferrule dimensions

When it may not be suitable

This component is not suitable for solid core wires, as wire end ferrules are specifically designed to bundle and protect stranded conductors. It cannot be used with cable cross-sections significantly differing from the 16 mm² rating or in environments exceeding the thermal and mechanical tolerances of the plastic insulation.

Key specifications

• Maximum cable section: 16 mm²
• Inner diameter: 5.8 mm
• Total diameter: 8.8 mm
• Strip length: 1.2 cm
• Connector contacts plating: Tin
• Product colour: Yellow

How to use

Prepare the electrical cable by stripping the insulation precisely to the specified length of 1.2 cm to ensure the conductor fits fully into the metal tube without exposed strands. Insert the stripped stranded wire completely into the ferrule until the insulation of the wire meets the plastic collar of the terminal. Use a calibrated crimping tool designed for the corresponding cross-section to compress the metal sleeve securely onto the conductor before inserting the finished end into the terminal block.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the maximum cable section matches your specific wiring requirements of 16 mm²
• Check the inner diameter of 5.8 mm and outer dimensions against your terminal blocks
• Ensure you have the correct crimping tool compatible with this ferrule size
• Confirm the yellow colour coding aligns with your organizational or system standards

Always use a properly calibrated crimping tool matched to the 16 mm² cross-section to ensure a secure mechanical hold and optimal electrical contact. Inspect all finished connections for stray strands before energizing the electrical circuit.
