FAQs
What wire size is this ferrule designed for?
This ferrule is specifically designed for 6mm² stranded copper wire.
What is the sleeve length of this ferrule?
The sleeve length is 18mm, and the total length is 26mm.
Is the insulation material safe for all environments?
Yes, the polypropylene insulation is halogen-free, making it suitable for environments where fire safety and minimal toxic emissions are critical.
What type of tool is needed to install this ferrule?
A professional-grade ferrule crimping tool is required for proper and secure installation.
How many ferrules are included in a pack?
The ferrule is supplied in a pack containing 100 pieces.
Can this ferrule be used with solid core wire?
These ferrules are generally intended for stranded wire. Using them with solid core wire may not provide optimal or reliable termination.
Troubleshooting
Ferrule does not crimp securely.
Ensure you are using a compatible crimping tool specifically designed for ferrules and that the correct die size is selected for 6mm² wire. Verify the wire is fully inserted into the ferrule before crimping.
Wire strands are exposed after crimping.
Check if the wire was fully inserted into the ferrule before crimping. Ensure the ferrule's sleeve length (18mm) is sufficient for the wire gauge and that the crimp is properly centered on the ferrule.
Ferrule insulation is damaged during crimping.
Adjust the pressure setting on your crimping tool if possible, or ensure the ferrule is correctly seated in the die. Use a tool that is in good working condition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare Wire: Strip the insulation from the 6mm² wire to the appropriate length as recommended by the ferrule manufacturer or your crimping tool instructions.
- Insert Wire: Insert the stripped wire end fully into the ferrule until it bottoms out.
- Crimp: Using a compatible, professional-grade crimping tool designed for ferrules of this size, place the ferrule into the appropriate die cavity.
- Actuate Tool: Squeeze the crimping tool handles firmly until the tool fully cycles, ensuring a secure crimp.
Compatibility:
- This ferrule is specifically designed for 6mm² (AWG 10 approximately) stranded copper wire.
- It is compatible with most professional ferrule crimping tools that support the relevant size range.
Care:
- Store ferrules in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
- Keep them in their original packaging or a suitable container to avoid contamination or damage.
- Handle with care to avoid deforming the ferrule before crimping.
