Extended insulated wire ferrule | bootlace ferrule | 2.5 mm² | 18 mm | crimp type | blue | DIN 46228-4 | 100 pcs | 260140

Extended insulated wire ferrule | 2.5 mm² | 18 mm | grey | crimp type | 100 pcs. | APF-2,50/18 | 260140

Extended insulated wire ferrule designed for preparing the end of a 2.5 mm² stranded conductor before connection to a suitable terminal. The APF-2,50/18 has an 18 mm metal contact sleeve and an overall length of 25.0 mm. The insulation collar is grey. Pack quantity – 100 pcs.

The ferrule is used to form the strands of a flexible conductor into one compact crimped termination before insertion into a suitable terminal. This helps prevent individual strands from spreading, simplifies insertion and provides a neat, repeatable termination.

The extended 18 mm metal sleeve is useful when the terminal design requires a longer formed contact section than a shorter standard ferrule can provide.

18 mm is the length of the metal contact sleeve, not the total ferrule length. The overall length of APF-2,50/18 is 25.0 mm. This distinction is important when checking compatibility with a specific terminal depth.

• Designed for terminating a 2.5 mm² stranded conductor.
• Keeps individual strands together in one contact termination.
• Extended 18 mm metal contact sleeve.
• 25.0 mm overall ferrule length.
• Grey insulated entry collar.
• Installed by crimping.
• Suitable for professional wiring in panels, automation systems and other electrical equipment.

• Electrical panel assembly.
• Automation and control cabinets.
• Connecting stranded conductors to suitable terminals.
• Preparation of control-circuit wiring.
• Industrial automation equipment.
• Electrical installation repair and modernisation.
• Applications requiring an extended 18 mm contact section.

1. Select the ferrule according to conductor cross-section – this model is for 2.5 mm² stranded conductors.
2. Strip the conductor so that all strands can be fully inserted into the metal sleeve.
3. Insert the conductor fully and make sure no strands remain outside the metal sleeve.
4. Crimp using a suitable ferrule crimping tool designed for the relevant conductor size.
5. After crimping, check the mechanical retention before inserting the conductor into the terminal.

The quality of the termination depends not only on the ferrule but also on correct conductor preparation and the use of a suitable crimping tool. After crimping, the metal sleeve should be evenly deformed without visible cracking or damage.

• De-energise the electrical circuit before work.
• Use a ferrule matching the conductor cross-section.
• Do not damage conductor strands while stripping insulation.
• All conductor strands must enter the metal sleeve.
• Use only a suitable and serviceable crimping tool.
• After crimping, check that the ferrule is mechanically secure on the conductor.
• Before insertion, verify that the 18 mm contact section is suitable for the terminal construction.
• Electrical installation work should be carried out by qualified personnel.
