Product Information
Full details
The Cimco 187220 ferrules are an essential component for electricians, panel builders, and technicians who require secure, professional-grade terminations for 1.5 mm2 wires. These red-coded, partially insulated bootlace ferrules provide superior corrosion resistance and wire integrity, effectively preventing strand fraying in terminal blocks and control panels. While they offer exceptional connectivity and durability, users should note that they are specifically sized for 1.5 mm2 conductors and are not compatible with larger or smaller wire gauges.

FAQs
Can I use these ferrules on 2.5 mm2 wire?
No, these are strictly for 1.5 mm2 wires. Using them with larger gauges will prevent the wire from fitting into the sleeve.
Do I need a special tool to crimp these?
Yes, you should use a dedicated ferrule crimping tool to ensure the sleeve is compressed evenly around the wire strands.
What is the plastic collar made of?
The collar is made of polypropylene, which provides excellent insulation and ease of wire entry.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
They are designed primarily for control panels and indoor electrical assemblies. While tin-plated for corrosion resistance, they are not hermetically sealed.
How many ferrules are included in one pack?
Each pack contains 100 individual ferrules.
Troubleshooting
Wire strands are bending during insertion into the ferrule.
Ensure the wire strands are neatly twisted together before inserting. If fraying persists, use a sharper wire stripper to ensure a clean cut.
The connection feels loose after tightening the terminal.
Verify that the crimping tool is properly calibrated. If the ferrule is under-crimped, the connection will not be secure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior corrosion protection via 3 µm tin plating
- Easy installation thanks to the polypropylene guide collar
- High temperature tolerance up to 105°C
- Ensures long-term electrical connection reliability
- Ideal for vibration-heavy environments like control panels
Cons
- Strictly limited to 1.5 mm2 wire sizes
- Requires a compatible crimping tool for proper installation
- Not intended for non-stranded, solid core wire applications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these ferrules, strip approximately 8-10 mm of insulation from your 1.5 mm2 wire. Insert the stranded end into the collar of the ferrule until the copper conductors reach the end of the metal sleeve. Use a professional-grade wire ferrule crimping tool to compress the sleeve uniformly. This tool should be chosen to match the ferrule's square or hexagonal profile for maximum mechanical integrity. Store the ferrules in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the plastic collar, and keep them in their original packaging to avoid deformation of the thin-walled copper tubes.
