Some strands will go astray. This reduces the quality of the electrical connection and can also result in electrical shorts. When a bootlace ferrule is used, the insulated funnel with it's flared design captures all the strands. These strands are then crimped together in the ferrule tube. The crimped ferrule is then inserted into the terminal to create an electrical connection\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-lg font-bold\" data-testid=\"descriptive-content-main-header\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeatures and Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-jwKygS khHySg\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Excellent electrical connection\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Reduces short circuits\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• German colour coded collar for easy ferrule size identification\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Nylon insulated collar for reduced leakage, creepage and gas intrusion\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Tin plated copper tube for excellent conductivity\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e• Crimped terminal can be repeatedly inserted and removed without degrading end of the wire\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-lg font-bold\" data-testid=\"descriptive-content-main-header\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-jwKygS khHySg\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBootlace ferrules are used on multi-stranded wires that are being inserted into screw terminals and terminal blocks.

Cut the wires to the same length as terminal and twist the strands together. Slip the bootlace ferrule (insulated collar first) onto the ends of the wire until the wire strands are flush with the end of the tube. Using a ratchet crimping tool, insert the metal tube of the ferrule into the appropriate crimping section (indicated by sizes marked on the tool). Squeeze the tool handles together until the ratchet releases. A ratchet crimping tool is preferable as the handles will remain locked until a full crimp cycle is completed preventing partial crimps. The crimped wire end is now ready to be inserted into connecting terminal\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSuitable Crimping Tools\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor ferrules with a wire size range of 0.25 to 6 mm\u003csup data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003euse crimping tool frame stock number\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ph.rs-online.com\/web\/p\/products\/848391\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/ph.rs-online.com\/web\/p\/products\/848391\"\u003e848-391\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewith crimping die\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ph.rs-online.com\/web\/p\/products\/848420\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/ph.rs-online.com\/web\/p\/products\/848420\"\u003e848-420\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor ferrules with a wire size range of 10 to 25 mm\u003csup data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003euse crimping tool stock number\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ph.rs-online.com\/web\/p\/products\/2972935\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/ph.rs-online.com\/web\/p\/products\/2972935\"\u003e297-2935\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor ferrules with a wire size range of 35 or 50 mm\u003csup data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003euse crimping tool stock number\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ph.rs-online.com\/web\/p\/products\/2972941\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/ph.rs-online.com\/web\/p\/products\/2972941\"\u003e297-2941\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-jwKygS khHySg\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhy RS PRO?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRS PRO is our own brand range and brings you a wide range of high-quality, great value products offering you more choice.
