Cable Ferrules

Cable ferrules are end-termination elements in the form of a thin tin-plated copper tube that is slipped onto the stripped end of a multi-strand (flexible) copper conductor and crimped with pliers. Because they prevent the conductor strands from fraying and from being crushed and broken under the screw, they are used in connections to panel terminal blocks, contactors, relays and fuse entries. This category includes insulated single-entry ferrules with a plastic collar, double-entry ferrules that take two conductors together, and non-insulated ferrules; the products are from Konsan, Gwest and Isıso, and the DIN 46228 standard is stated in the Konsan and Gwest product data. Choose the ferrule according to the conductor cross-section, the metal tube length that matches the clamping depth of the terminal block, the need for single or double entry, the German or French color code standard for insulated types, and the die of your crimping pliers. On insulated ferrules, the collar color indicates the cross-section, but since the color of the same cross-section can differ between German and French standards, using a single standard in a panel prevents confusion. For bolted busbar or device connections, a cable lug is used instead of a ferrule.

  • Clarify whether the task is connection, cable routing, enclosure distribution or termination.
  • Match dimensions, thread standard, conductor cross-section and IP rating with the cable and panel.
  • Choose housing material and pack quantity according to the mounting environment.
