RS PRO Insulated Crimp Bootlace Ferrule Violet 8mm Pin Length, 1.1mm Pin Diameter, 24 AWG, Nylon Collar 157-1216

RS PRO 157-1216 Insulated Crimp Bootlace Ferrule is engineered to deliver clean and secure end terminations for multi-stranded wires in a wide range of electrical installations. Featuring an 8mm pin length and 1.1mm pin diameter, this ferrule is designed specifically for wires sized up to 0.25mm², corresponding to 24 AWG, making it highly suitable for precise wiring tasks in industrial and commercial environments.

The product incorporates a robust nylon insulated collar that acts as a safety barrier, greatly reducing leakage, creepage, and gas intrusion. Its tin-plated copper tube ensures high conductivity and mechanical durability, providing excellent electrical performance even after repeated insertion and removal from terminal blocks or captive terminals.

The violet colour coding allows for instant ferrule size identification, streamlining installation and maintenance tasks while minimizing the risk of connection errors. With a total length of 12.4mm, this ferrule fits comfortably in compact panel layouts and is compatible with French colour coding standards.

Bootlace ferrules work by capturing wire strands in a flared insulated funnel, then crimping them together in the copper tube. This prevents wire strand fanning and mitigates the risk of electrical shorts when used under screw terminal pressure. The result is a consistently reliable connection that maintains the integrity of the wire ends and supports repeated terminal block engagements.

Ideal for applications such as consumer units, circuit breakers, electrical control panels, and any equipment requiring reliable multi-stranded wire connections, the RS PRO 157-1216 ferrule improves performance and safety throughout the wiring system. It is compatible with ratchet crimping tools for precision assembly and is suitable across manufacturing, automation, and commercial electrical installations.

Provides a secure and reliable end termination for multi-stranded wires. Features a nylon insulated collar and tin-plated copper tube for enhanced conductivity and safety. Suitable for wire sizes up to 0.25mm² (24 AWG), ensuring broad compatibility in electrical installations.

Colour coded (violet) for easy size identification and reduced risk of connection errors. Repeated crimped terminal insertion and removal is possible without wire damage. Reduces electrical shorts and improves wire-to-terminal block connections.

Designed for use in consumer units, circuit breakers, control panels, and general wiring applications. Discover more industrial-grade wire terminations and electrical accessories from RS PRO in the Wire Terminal category at EnvMart.
