Product Information
Full details
The WAGO 216-131 is an uninsulated cable end sleeve designed for professionals and hobbyists working with 0.25 mm² (AWG 24) conductors. It provides a secure, reliable termination for terminal blocks, preventing strand fraying and ensuring high-quality electrical contact through its electro-tin plated finish. Note that as an uninsulated component, it requires careful handling during installation and is intended primarily for controlled, professional wiring environments where additional insulation may be provided by the terminal block itself.

FAQs
Can I use these for wires larger than 0.25 mm²?
No, these are strictly designed for 0.25 mm² (AWG 24) conductors. Using them with larger wires will result in an insecure crimp.
Does this ferrule require a specific type of crimper?
Yes, you should use a high-quality crimping tool that matches the small 0.25 mm² wire size.
Are these ferrules RoHS compliant?
Yes, the WAGO 216-131 is RoHS compliant, meeting environmental safety standards.
Can I use these in high-vibration environments?
Yes, using ferrules is highly recommended for high-vibration environments to prevent individual strands from breaking or loosening.
Is the tin plating prone to peeling?
WAGO's electro-tin plating process is designed for durability and will not peel under standard operating conditions.
Troubleshooting
Wire strands protruding from the crimp
Ensure the wire is stripped to exactly 7 mm and pushed fully into the ferrule before crimping.
Ferrule slips off the wire after crimping
Verify that your crimping tool is set for the correct wire gauge and that the ferrule size matches your conductor.
Difficulty inserting ferrule into the terminal
Check for excess metal burrs at the crimp point or ensure the terminal block port is fully open.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures a clean, professional termination preventing wire fraying
- High corrosion resistance due to quality electro-tin plating
- Excellent for high-density wiring applications
- Cost-effective bulk packaging (1000 count)
Cons
- Uninsulated design requires caution to avoid short circuits
- Requires a specific crimping tool for 0.25 mm² wires
- Not suitable for applications requiring color-coded insulation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve optimal performance, ensure you are using a precision crimping tool calibrated for 0.25 mm² ferrules. First, strip 7 mm of insulation from your wire. Insert the stranded conductor fully into the ferrule sleeve until the strands reach the end of the barrel. Place the sleeve into the appropriate die of your crimper and apply steady pressure until the cycle completes. To maintain the integrity of the connection, store the unused ferrules in a dry, dust-free environment to prevent oxidation of the tin plating. These are compatible with all standard terminal blocks designed to accept 0.25 mm² cross-sections.
