Cable Terminals, Lugs and Ferrules

Cable terminals, lugs and ferrules are termination elements that are crimped onto the end of a conductor with crimping pliers or a press to create a contact surface suitable for a terminal block, screw, stud or busbar connection. They are used in panel assembly, motor and switch connections, machine wiring and in-device wiring so that a multi-strand conductor can be connected without fraying and with low contact resistance. This category includes cable lugs for bolted connections, bimetal lugs for aluminum conductors, cable ferrules for terminal block entries, and insulated and non-insulated cable end terminals for small cross-section screw connections. Faston terminals for plug-in connections and splice joints that join conductors end to end are also in this group; the main brands are Gwest, Konsan and Isıso. First determine the product type according to the connection point, then choose the size according to the conductor cross-section, the bolt or hole diameter, the insulation requirement and the crimping tool. A ferrule gathers the strands that enter a terminal block, while a lug connects the conductor to a busbar or device terminal with a bolt; one is not used in place of the other.
