How do I choose a ferrule size?
How do I choose a ferrule size?
If two AWG wires of the same size are being used, then the correct ferrule size can be determined by increasing the total wire size by three steps. For example, two 20 AWG wires (cross sectional area of 0.519mm2 each) are equivalent to a single 17 AWG/1.04mm2, so a 1.5mm2 capacity ferrule should be specified.
What is a wire ferrule used for?
An electric wire ferrule (sometimes electric end terminal) is a metal tube crimped over stranded wire to secure the strands within a screw terminal. Electrical insulation may be included to protect any exposed portion of the wire not completely inside the screw terminal post.
Do you crimp wire ferrules?
Wire ferrules and wire crimp connectors do the same job of terminating electrical wire. Their difference is in how the crimping takes place. Ferrules are crimped over the bare wire strands while crimp connectors are crimped onto the insulation after the stripped end.
Can you put two wires in a ferrule?
Dual Wire Ferrules have larger diameters and special shaped sleeves that accept two conductors of the same or different size. They provide an efficient connection of multiple wires in the same terminal clamp or simplify wire jumpering between terminal clamps.
What is a bootlace ferrule?
Bootlace ferrules are copper tubes that are often used for creating a reliable electrical connection, at the end of electrical wires. Bootlace ferrules are available in a lot of types and sizes, and are used for a broad range of applications.
Should you use ferrules with Wago?
The Wago connectors used on the PDP are designed to be used with stranded wire. We run with ferrules for ease of assembly/disassembly – even with experienced students & mentors, I like that it prevents whiskering and makes replacement/reassembly extremely easy.
What is the HS code for ferrule?

Why is ferrule required?
Ferrules greatly reduce the contact resistance between the wire and connector, and even help cut down on the oxidation in the strands because of the lack of air space between them.
Why are bootlace ferrules used?
Bootlace Ferrules are used mainly in applications to improve connection reliability such as circuit breakers, control panels and boxes, or larger consumer units in multi occupancy buildings.
