Black 10 AWG Wire Ferrule - 12mm Length - 25 Pack

Wire fraying can become a significant issue when connecting to IEC (European)-style terminal blocks. As the wire strands separate, the connection deteriorates, necessitating immediate action. Fortunately, this problem can be averted with the use of wire ferrules. These specialized terminals encase the stranded wire, transforming it into a solid piece, ensuring a more reliable connection. This transformation is particularly critical when interfacing with IEC terminal blocks.

To use wire ferrules correctly, start by stripping the wire to the appropriate length. Next, slide the ferrule onto the exposed wire until the nylon casing meets the wire insulation. Crimp it using the correct tool, as inadequate pressure can lead to a poor connection. Proper crimping techniques and pressure are essential for optimal performance. If desired, users can cover the connection with heat shrink for added protection.
