Product Information
Full details
The Legrand Starfix 037670 is a professional-grade, insulated wire end sleeve designed for electricians and technicians who require secure and reliable terminations for 16mm² flexible conductors. Providing an optimal equipotential bond through its tinned electrolytic copper construction, it ensures low-resistance connections in demanding electrical systems; however, users should note that the pack contains a single unit, requiring advanced procurement for larger projects.

FAQs
What is the material of the ferrule sleeve?
It is made of tinned electrolytic copper with a halogen-free polypropylene insulation.
Can I use this for 10mm² wire?
No, this ferrule is specifically sized for 16mm² conductors. Using the wrong size may result in a poor connection.
Does this sleeve offer short-circuit protection?
Yes, it is designed for use in short-circuit proof line installations due to its specific insulation properties.
What tools are needed for installation?
A professional-grade wire ferrule crimping tool matching the 16mm² specification is required.
Is this package suitable for industrial volume projects?
The package contains 1 unit. For industrial projects, you will likely need to purchase bulk quantities.
Troubleshooting
Ferrule slides off the wire after crimping
Ensure the crimping tool is calibrated for 16mm² ferrules and that the wire strands were fully inserted before crimping.
Difficult to insert into the terminal block
Verify the terminal block is rated for 16mm² capacity and ensure the crimp shape is consistent with the terminal manufacturer's requirements.
Signs of oxidation or overheating
Check the terminal connection torque; oxidation often occurs due to loose connections creating high resistance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures high-quality equipotential bonding
- Halogen-free material increases safety standards
- Corrosion-resistant tinned copper coating
- Precise dimensions for reliable termination
- Compatible with short-circuit proof wiring
Cons
- Sold as a single unit per pack
- Requires a compatible crimping tool for proper installation
- Not intended for use with solid core conductors
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve a successful termination, strip the insulation from your 16mm² flexible conductor to a length corresponding to the 12mm ferrule. Ensure all strands are tightly gathered and inserted fully into the ferrule sleeve. Use an appropriate wire ferrule crimping tool to compress the sleeve; avoid using standard pliers, as they will not provide the uniform, airtight crimp necessary for professional electrical integrity.
- Compatibility: Designed specifically for 16mm² cross-sectional area conductors.
- Care: Keep the ferrules in a moisture-free environment before use to ensure the tinned copper remains clean. Once installed, the connection is maintenance-free; however, periodic inspections of the terminal connection points are recommended in high-vibration environments.
