Product Information
Full details
This guide is for electricians and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable termination solution for single-core wires. The Schneider Electric DZ5CE010 bootlace ferrules provide a clean, secure connection that protects against fraying and ensures proper insertion into terminals, preventing loose wires and improving system integrity. A minor consideration is that the pack quantity is fixed at 100 pieces, which may be more than needed for small projects.

FAQs
What is a bootlace ferrule used for?
A bootlace ferrule, or cable end sleeve, is used to terminate the end of a wire, preventing strands from splaying, ensuring a secure connection into terminals, and protecting the connection point.
What wire size does the DZ5CE010 support?
The DZ5CE010 supports wire sizes up to 1 mm², which is equivalent to AWG 18.
What does the red color indicate?
The red color on the insulation collar is used for easy identification. It helps in distinguishing wire sizes or circuit types at a glance.
Do I need a special tool to install these?
Yes, a dedicated ferrule crimping tool is required to properly secure the ferrule onto the wire.
Are these ferrules reusable?
No, once crimped onto a wire, bootlace ferrules are intended for single use and are not designed to be removed and reused.
What is the plating on the copper tube?
The copper tubes are tin-plated to provide good conductivity and resistance to corrosion.
How many ferrules are in one pack?
Each pack contains 100 pieces of the DZ5CE010 ferrules.
Troubleshooting
Ferrule does not fit wire properly.
Ensure the wire gauge is within the specified range (up to 1 mm²/18 AWG) and that the wire strands are fully inserted into the ferrule before crimping.
Crimped connection is loose.
Verify that a proper ferrule crimping tool is being used and that adequate pressure was applied during the crimping process. Ensure the correct size ferrule is used for the wire.
Insulation collar is damaged during crimping.
Ensure the crimping tool is not over-crimping and that the ferrule is positioned correctly within the tool's jaws. The collar is designed to protect, but excessive force can deform it.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enhances electrical connection reliability by preventing wire strand splaying.
- Color-coding allows for easy wire gauge identification.
- Protects terminals from damage caused by loose wire strands.
- Tin-plated copper offers good conductivity and resistance to oxidation.
- RoHS compliant for environmental responsibility.
Cons
- Packaged in quantities of 100, which may be excessive for very small jobs.
- Primarily designed for single-core wires, less ideal for stranded applications without specific crimping tools.
- Requires a crimping tool for proper installation.
- Limited to 1mm² (18 AWG) wire size, not suitable for larger gauge wires.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Strip approximately 8mm of insulation from the end of the wire using a wire stripper.
- Insert the stripped wire end into the ferrule, ensuring it is fully seated.
- Using a compatible crimping tool (e.g., a ferrule crimper), firmly crimp the ferrule onto the wire. Ensure the crimp is secure but does not damage the wire strands.
- The insulated collar should provide a secure fit over the crimped ferrule.
Compatibility:
- Wire Size: Compatible with wires up to 1 mm² (AWG 18).
- Terminal Types: Suitable for use with screw terminals, spring terminals, and push-in terminals.
- Tools: Requires a dedicated ferrule crimping tool for proper installation.
Care:
These are single-use components once crimped. Store unused ferrules in their original packaging in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the tin-plated copper.
