Product Information
Full details
This guide is for electricians and technicians working with electrical wiring that requires secure and insulated termination. The Schneider Electric DZ5 CA ferrule (DZ5CA015) offers a reliable way to terminate 1.5mm² conductors, preventing fraying and ensuring electrical safety. A key benefit is its insulated polyamide construction, which prevents accidental short circuits. However, it's crucial to use the correct crimping tool for this specific ferrule size to ensure a secure connection.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of a wire end sleeve (ferrule)?
A wire end sleeve consolidates the strands of a flexible conductor into a single solid mass, preventing fraying and ensuring a secure connection when inserted into terminals.
What wire size is this ferrule designed for?
This ferrule, model DZ5CA015, is designed for a nominal cross-sectional area of 1.5mm².
What does the 'insulated' aspect mean?
The ferrule has a plastic (polyamide) sleeve covering the metal part, which provides electrical insulation and protects against accidental contact.
What is the length of the pin on this ferrule?
The pin length is 8mm.
What material is the ferrule made of?
The ferrule itself is made of tinned copper.
Do I need a special tool to install this ferrule?
Yes, a specific crimping tool designed for bootlace ferrules is required to properly install the ferrule onto the wire.
What does 'tinned' mean in the product description?
'Tinned' refers to a thin coating of tin applied to the copper ferrule, which enhances its conductivity and provides protection against corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Ferrule does not fit onto the wire
Ensure you are using the correct ferrule size (1.5mm²) and that the wire is stripped to the appropriate length without damaging the conductor.
Crimped connection is loose
Verify that the correct crimping tool is being used and that it is set for the appropriate ferrule size. Ensure the crimping action was performed correctly and with sufficient pressure.
Insulation sleeve is damaged
Handle the ferrule carefully during installation. If the sleeve is significantly damaged, it may compromise the insulating properties and a new ferrule should be used.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides secure and insulated termination for 1.5mm² wires.
- Helps prevent wire fraying and strand separation.
- Polyamide insulation enhances electrical safety and prevents short circuits.
- Durable tinned copper construction ensures good conductivity and longevity.
- Marking vane facilitates wire identification and system management.
Cons
- Requires a specific crimping tool for proper installation.
- Not suitable for wire sizes other than 1.5mm².
- The ferrule length may not be ideal for all terminal types.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Strip approximately 8mm of insulation from the end of the 1.5mm² conductor.
- Insert the stripped conductor fully into the ferrule.
- Using a compatible crimping tool (e.g., a hexagonal crimper designed for bootlace ferrules), crimp the ferrule onto the conductor. Ensure the crimp is firm and secure, compressing the ferrule around the wire strands.
Compatibility:
- Wire Size: Primarily designed for 1.5mm² stranded copper conductors.
- Connectors: Compatible with most standard terminal blocks, screw terminals, and pluggable connectors that accept ferrules of this size and pin length.
- Tools: Requires a dedicated crimping tool for bootlace ferrules. Consult tool specifications for compatibility with 1.5mm² ferrules.
Care:
- Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the copper.
- Handle with care to avoid damaging the polyamide insulation.
