RS PRO Insulated Crimp Bootlace Ferrule, 18 mm Pin Length, 3.2 mm Pin Diameter, Grey Nylon Insulated, 12 AWG Wire 311-7959

RS PRO 311-7959 Insulated Crimp Bootlace Ferrule is designed for reliable end termination of multi-stranded wires specifically sized for 12 AWG (4.0 mm²) wire. The product incorporates a grey nylon insulated collar with an 18 mm pin length and a 3.2 mm pin diameter, providing a secure and effective electrical connection.

The bootlace ferrule consists of a tin-plated copper tube that ensures excellent conductivity and tarnish resistance. Its German/DIN standard design allows compatibility with most terminal blocks and screw terminals, making it highly versatile for various electrical wiring applications.

Use cases for this ferrule include wiring in consumer units, circuit breakers, electrical control panels, and other equipment requiring a robust multi-stranded wire connection. The insulated nylon collar reduces leakage current, creepage, and protects against gas intrusion, improving long-term safety and reliability.

The crimped ferrule can be repeatedly inserted and removed from terminals without wire degradation, facilitating maintenance and reconfiguration. Its unique color-coded collar enables easy size identification during installation.

Installation involves slipping the ferrule over stripped wires, followed by crimping with a ratchet crimping tool to secure the strands together within the copper tube, preventing stray wire strands and reducing short circuits.

The ferrule features an 18 mm pin length for efficient wire connection. Constructed with a 3.2 mm pin diameter to fit standard terminal sizes. Grey nylon insulation ensures electrical safety and prevents leakage. Copper tube with tin plating offers excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

German/DIN wire ferrule type provides standardized quality and fit. Designed for repeated insertion and removal without degrading wire ends. Ideal for use in electrical control panels, circuit breakers, and consumer units.

Insulated collar reduces creepage and gas intrusion enhancing connection reliability.
