Red Insulated 16 AWG Wire Ferrules - 25 Count Pack

Wire fraying can cause significant issues when connecting to IEC (European)-style terminal blocks. As wires begin to fray, the quality of the connection deteriorates, leading to potential failure. However, this can easily be avoided by using wire ferrules. These components protect the stranded wires and transform them into a solid piece, enhancing connection reliability. This is particularly vital when dealing with IEC terminal blocks.

To use wire ferrules correctly, first, strip the wire to the appropriate length. Next, slide the ferrule over the exposed wire ensuring the nylon casing is flush with the wire insulation. Crimp it using the correct tool, as proper pressure is essential for a solid connection. A meticulous crimping technique is crucial for ongoing reliability. Users may also choose to add heat shrink for extra insulation after crimping.
