The ferrule is slipped over the end of a multi-stranded cable wire, crimped, and then inserted into a screw or spring clamp connection.Why would you use bootlace ferrules?When the end of a multi-stranded wire is stripped and placed directly under a screw terminal the strands of the wire will naturally fan out under the pressure of the screw. Some strands will go astray. This reduces the quality of the electrical connection and can also result in electrical shorts. When a bootlace ferrule is used, the insulated funnel with its flared design captures all the strands. These strands are then crimped together in the ferrule tube. The crimped ferrule is then inserted into the terminal to create an electrical connection.Features and Benefits• Excellent electrical connection• Reduces short circuits• Colour coded collar for easy ferrule size identification• Nylon insulated collar for reduced leakage, creepage and gas intrusion• Tin plated copper tube for excellent conductivity• Crimped terminal can be repeatedly inserted and removed without degrading the end of the wire• Available with a single or dual entrySuitable RS PRO Crimping ToolsFor ferrules with a wire size range of;• 0.5 to 6 mm² use crimping tool RS stock no: (683-1605) 683-1605• 10 to 25 mm² use crimping tool RS stock no: (683-1614) 683-1614• 0.5 to 16 mm² use crimping pliers RS stock no: (464-482) 464-482• 35 or 50 mm² use crimping tool RS stock no: (683-1617) 683-1617ApplicationsConsumer unitsCircuit breakersElectrical control panelsTerminal blocksWhy would you choose RS PRO for Bootlace Ferrules?RS PRO is our own brand range and brings you a wide range of high-quality, great value products offering you more choice.
