Insulated Wire End Ferrule 16mm² 12mm Pin Length, 100 Pieces

The insulated wire end ferrule is a high-quality electrical component designed to terminate stranded conductors with a cross-section of 16 mm². Featuring a 12 mm pin length, this ferrule provides a robust and clean termination, ensuring that individual wire strands remain bundled together for optimal conductivity. By preventing fraying and loose connections, it significantly enhances the safety and longevity of electrical installations in various industrial and residential applications.

Advantages

Using these ferrules offers a significant improvement in connection reliability by creating a solid contact surface that is resistant to mechanical stress and vibration. The integrated insulation sleeve provides additional strain relief and prevents short circuits between adjacent terminals. These components are essential for achieving professional-grade electrical connections that comply with safety standards, ensuring consistent performance over time.

Suitable for

• Connecting stranded wires to terminal blocks
• Electrical control panels and distribution boards
• Industrial machinery and automation equipment
• Professional electrical maintenance and repair

When it may not be suitable

These ferrules are specifically designed for stranded copper conductors and are not intended for use with solid core wires, as they may not provide a secure fit. Additionally, they are not suitable for high-temperature environments that exceed the thermal rating of the plastic insulation sleeve.

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 16 mm²
• Pin length: 12 mm
• Material: Tin-plated copper with plastic insulation
• Quantity: 100 pieces

How to use

To use the ferrule, first strip the insulation from the end of the wire to a length corresponding to the pin length of the ferrule. Insert the exposed stranded wire into the metal tube of the ferrule until the strands are fully seated. Use a professional crimping tool designed for the appropriate wire gauge to compress the metal sleeve onto the conductor. Once crimped, the wire is ready to be inserted into a terminal block or connector.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the cross-section of your wire matches the 16 mm² specification
• Ensure you have a compatible crimping tool for this wire size
• Check the available space in your terminal block for the 12 mm pin length

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the wire is fully inserted into the ferrule before crimping to avoid loose strands. Use a calibrated crimping tool to ensure a gas-tight connection that prevents oxidation and ensures long-term electrical stability.
