Copper cable end terminal UN CU K 10/8 — copper crimp ferrule 10/8

Copper cable end terminal UN CU K 10/8 is a crimp-style copper ferrule designed for terminating electrical conductors. Made from copper to ensure reliable electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, this ferrule is shaped to fit 10/8 dimensioned cable ends and provides a compact, solid contact point for screw or clamp connections in electrical panels, junction boxes and machinery. The product is intended to create low-resistance, mechanically stable terminations where the conductor strands must be secured and protected from fraying.

Advantages

The copper construction offers consistent electrical conductivity and long-term resistance to environmental degradation. The crimp-style design allows for a repeatable, secure termination using appropriate crimping tooling, delivering stable mechanical retention and reduced contact resistance compared with unsecured stranded conductors. Compact dimensions minimize space requirements in terminal blocks and improve the reliability of screw or clamp connections by concentrating the conductor into a uniform barrel.

Suitable for

• Terminating stranded copper conductors with 10/8 cross-section for screw or clamp connections
• Electrical distribution panels and terminal blocks
• Industrial machinery and control cabinets requiring durable cable ends
• Junction boxes and service connections where compact, low-resistance terminations are needed

Key specifications

• Material: copper for electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Termination style: crimp ferrule for mechanical crimping
• Conductor size compatibility: for conductors matching 10/8 dimension
• Typical applications: panel, junction box and machinery terminations
• Form factor: compact barrel designed for screw or clamp mounting

How to use

Strip the conductor insulation to the correct length so that the bare strands fully enter the ferrule barrel. Insert the conductor into the ferrule until the insulation meets the barrel end, then apply a suitable crimping tool at the recommended crimp point to form a secure mechanical connection. After crimping, inspect the termination for full strand insertion and a consistent crimp profile. Fit the ferrule into the screw or clamp terminal and tighten to the manufacturer's torque specifications to ensure a low-resistance, reliable electrical connection.

Usage recommendations

Use a matched crimping tool sized for the ferrule to achieve correct mechanical and electrical performance. Avoid using pliers or improvised tools that can deform the barrel and compromise contact. Verify compatibility of conductor dimensions before crimping and follow terminal block torque guidelines to prevent conductor damage and ensure long-term reliability.
