Product Information
Full details
This guide is for electricians and technicians working with electrical wiring. The Phoenix Contact 3200056 ferrule offers a secure and insulated termination for 1.5 mm² conductors, preventing wire splicing and increasing insulation reliability. A minor caveat is that it is sold in packs of 100, which might be more than needed for small jobs.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of using an insulated ferrule?
Insulated ferrules increase insulation reliability and help prevent electrical shorts by preventing stray wire strands from making unintended contact with other components or terminals.
What is the sleeve length of this ferrule?
The sleeve length is 18 mm.
What material is the ferrule made from?
It is made from soft, tin-plated electrolytic copper.
What is the overall length of the ferrule?
The overall length is 24 mm.
How many ferrules are in a pack?
Each pack contains 100 pieces.
Can this ferrule be used for wires smaller than 1.5 mm²?
Yes, the product information indicates that the AI 0,25.. ferrules (which are likely related or from the same series) can also be used to process 0.14 mm² conductors. Always confirm compatibility with your specific tool and wire.
What color is this ferrule?
This ferrule is black.
Troubleshooting
Ferrule does not fit onto the wire properly.
Ensure the wire conductor is fully inserted and that no insulation is trapped. Verify you are using the correct ferrule size for the wire gauge.
Crimp is loose or uneven.
Check that you are using the correct ferrule crimping tool and that it is properly calibrated. Ensure the ferrule is correctly positioned within the tool's jaws.
Wire strands are splayed after crimping.
Ensure all wire strands are neatly bundled before insertion into the ferrule. Re-crimp with adequate pressure using the correct tool.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enhances insulation reliability and prevents wire splicing.
- Durable construction with tin-plated copper.
- Secure termination for 1.5 mm² conductors.
- Color-coded for easy identification.
- Provides protection against short circuits.
Cons
- Sold in packs of 100, potentially leading to excess for small projects.
- Requires appropriate crimping tools for proper installation.
- The 18mm sleeve length may not be suitable for all junction box sizes.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Strip the end of the insulated wire to the appropriate length, ensuring no insulation is caught within the conductor strands.
- Insert the conductor strands into the ferrule, ensuring they are fully and neatly bundled.
- Use a compatible ferrule crimping tool to securely crimp the ferrule onto the conductor. Ensure the tool is set for the correct wire gauge (1.5 mm²) and ferrule size.
- Insert the terminated wire end into the terminal block.
Compatibility:
- Wire Gauge: Primarily designed for 1.5 mm² conductors. Can also be used with smaller conductors (e.g., 0.14 mm²) when processed with compatible tools and ferrules.
- Tools: Requires a specialized ferrule crimping tool. Hand tools and hydraulic crimpers are available from Phoenix Contact and other manufacturers.
Care:
- These ferrules are single-use components. Once crimped, they are not designed to be removed and reused.
- Store ferrules in their original packaging in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination or damage to the insulation.
