Wire end sleeve Klauke 8698, twin, partially insulated, 0.5 mm², 8 mm, white

Twin wire end sleeve Klauke 8698, partially insulated, 0.5 mm², 8 mm, white is a crimp terminal designed for terminating two conductors with small cross-sections. The sleeve provides mechanical support to stripped conductor strands, ensuring a compact, reliable connection suitable for tight spaces and dense wiring assemblies. The partial insulation covers the barrel area to prevent short circuits while leaving the contact end accessible for insertion into terminal blocks and connectors.

Advantages

The partially insulated design reduces the risk of accidental contact and shorting without increasing the overall bulk of the termination. Twin configuration allows two conductors to be joined cleanly in a single crimp operation, saving time and maintaining consistent connection quality. The 8 mm sleeve length and 0.5 mm² conductor compatibility are optimized for control panels, terminal strips and compact electrical equipment where neat, reproducible terminations are required.

Suitable for

• Control panels and switchgear wiring
• Terminal blocks and distribution strips
• Compact electrical installations with limited space
• Repair and maintenance of small cross-section wiring

Key specifications

• Type: twin, partially insulated wire end sleeve
• Conductor cross-section per conductor: 0.5 mm²
• Sleeve length: 8 mm
• Color: white (insulation)
• Material: metal barrel with insulating sleeve (partial)

How to use

Strip the insulation from each conductor to the appropriate length so that the conductor strands fully enter the metal barrel without exposing excess bare wire. Insert both conductors into the twin sleeve until they reach the barrel end. Use a suitable crimping tool sized for 0.5 mm² ferrules and perform a firm crimp on the metal barrel to secure the conductors. Verify the mechanical and electrical integrity of the connection by gently pulling on the wires and, if necessary, measuring continuity.

Usage recommendations

Use a calibrated crimping tool intended for small ferrules to achieve consistent compression and prevent conductor damage. Avoid over-stripping conductors and ensure the partial insulation covers exposed areas to reduce the risk of short circuits. Store ferrules in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the metal barrel.
