Insulated Ferrules from Altech Corp. are designed for reliable electrical connections in applications involving stranded flexible wires. The specific part number 2622.0/100 features a tin-plated copper construction with an insulating collar made of polypropylene plastic. These ferrules are UL recognized, ensuring compliance with safety standards for use in control circuits. They are available in various sizes and colors, allowing for easy identification and organization in wiring applications. The insulated design helps prevent wire fraying and supports the conductor, reducing the risk of breakage due to bending or vibration. This product is suitable for use in terminal blocks, circuit breakers, and other control devices, making it a practical choice for engineers seeking dependable wire termination solutions.
Ferrules ensure reliable electrical connections when terminating stranded flexible wires in terminal blocks, circuit breakers or other control devices. They prevent fraying and breaking of individual wire strands. Ferrules are available uninsulated and insulated with color coded plastic sleeves for single or dual wire applications. Insulated ferrules also support the conductor, preventing breakage due to bending, wire stress and vibration.
Ferrules are the preferred alternative to twisting wire strands or tinning the wire end. European Electrical Standards such as EN60204-1, and VDE 0611, specify that "Means of retaining conductor strands shall be provided when terminating conductors at devices or terminals which are not equipped with this facility. Solder shall not be used for this purpose." Conductors with tinned ends should not be terminated in compression clamps because solder will cold flow under pressure and eventually result in poor or loose connections.
