Extended insulated wire-end ferrule | 1 mm² | 12 mm | crimp type | yellow | 100 pcs | APF-1,00W/12 | 261120
Extended insulated wire-end ferrule designed for terminating a 1 mm² stranded conductor before connection to a compatible terminal. The metal crimp sleeve is 12 mm long, while the total ferrule length is 18.4 mm. The metal section is made of tin-plated electrolytic copper, and the insulating collar is made of PA. Pack quantity – 100 pcs.
Key pointThe ferrule is intended to gather the strands of a 1 mm² flexible conductor into one crimped contact section. This helps the conductor enter a compatible terminal neatly and reduces the risk of individual strands separating during installation. The 12 mm value refers to the metal sleeve length, not the total ferrule length.

100 pcsOperating principle
The stripped end of the stranded conductor is inserted into the metal sleeve so that all conductor strands enter the ferrule. The metal section is then crimped using a suitable tool, forming a mechanically stable conductor end.
After crimping, the formed conductor end can be inserted into a compatible terminal. The ferrule does not increase the permissible circuit current by itself – its function is to form the end of a stranded conductor and improve installation control.
Why use a 12 mm contact section?A 12 mm metal contact section is useful when the terminal construction requires a longer formed conductor end. Suitability for a specific terminal must always be checked against the connected equipment design and manufacturer requirements.

What is the ferrule used for?
The ferrule is intended to gather the strands of a 1 mm² stranded conductor before inserting it into a compatible terminal. Crimping forms the individual strands into one compact contact section.
This is particularly useful in switchboards, automation panels and control circuits where consistent conductor preparation is important.
Colour and conductor size
This 1 mm² APF-1,00W/12 version has a yellow insulating collar. The colour helps with visual identification, but should not be used as the only criterion for conductor-size selection.
Professional selection principleSelect the ferrule according to the nominal conductor cross-section and manufacturer technical data, not only by the colour of the insulating collar.
Main functions
- Designed for 1 mm² stranded conductors.
- Extended 12 mm metal contact section.
- Crimp installation.
- Helps gather conductor strands into one contact section.
- Tin-plated electrolytic copper sleeve.
- PA insulating collar.
- Yellow colour for visual identification.
- 100 pcs per pack.
Where is it used?
- Switchboard assembly.
- Automation and control panels.
- Control circuit conductor preparation.
- Connection of stranded conductors to compatible terminals.
- Equipment wiring preparation.
- Repair and refurbishment work.
Use by requirement
For electricians
Helps prepare a neat 1 mm² stranded conductor end before insertion into a compatible terminal.For panel builders
The extended 12 mm metal section is useful where the terminal construction requires a longer formed contact section.For automation installers
Practical for preparing 1 mm² stranded conductors used in control and signal circuits.Correct installation principle
- Check that the nominal conductor cross-section is 1 mm².
- Strip enough insulation for all conductor strands to enter the metal sleeve fully.
- Do not damage or cut individual strands while stripping.
- Insert all strands fully into the metal part of the ferrule.
- Crimp using a suitable tool with a die intended for 1 mm² insulated wire-end ferrules.
- After crimping, check the mechanical retention of the ferrule on the conductor.
- Check that the crimped area is evenly formed, without cracks, sharp deformation or obvious under-crimping.
- Before connecting to a terminal, check that the 12 mm contact section is suitable for the terminal design.
Important when crimpingThe crimping tool must be suitable for 1 mm² insulated wire-end ferrules. An incorrect ferrule size or crimping die can result in insufficient or excessive compression and a poor-quality connection.
What should be checked after crimping?
After crimping, the conductor should not move freely or pull out of the metal sleeve. The crimped area should be evenly formed, without cracks, sharp deformation or visible signs of excessive compression.
Before inserting the ferrule into a terminal, also check whether the terminal manufacturer permits wire-end ferrules and whether the 12 mm contact length is suitable for that specific terminal.
Advantages
- Precisely intended for 1 mm² stranded conductors.
- Extended 12 mm metal contact section.
- Tin-plated electrolytic copper.
- PA insulating collar.
- Helps form a neat conductor end.
- Yellow insulation for faster visual identification.
- 100 pcs pack suitable for installation work.
Limitations
- Designed for 1 mm² conductors and should not be used for an incorrect cross-section.
- Yellow colour should not be the only conductor-size identification criterion.
- 12 mm refers to the metal section, not the overall ferrule length.
- Suitability for a specific terminal depends on its design and manufacturer requirements.
- The ferrule itself does not determine the permissible circuit current.
- Crimp quality depends on correct tool and die selection.
Safety and installation notes
- De-energise the circuit before work and verify absence of voltage.
- Select the ferrule according to the actual 1 mm² conductor cross-section.
- Do not damage individual conductor strands while stripping insulation.
- All strands must be fully inserted into the metal sleeve.
- Use a suitable crimping tool for 1 mm² insulated ferrules.
- After crimping, check mechanical retention and visual crimp quality.
- Before installation into a terminal, verify compatibility with wire-end ferrules.
- Electrical installation work should be carried out by qualified personnel.
