Product Information
Full details
The Phoenix Contact 3200195 is an insulated wire end ferrule designed for electrical connections, particularly for single-core wires. It enhances the reliability of connections by preventing wire splicing and ensuring a clean termination. A key benefit is its plastic sleeve, which aids in insulation and wire guiding. One potential caveat is its specific nominal cross-section, requiring appropriate conductor size matching. This ferrule features a 10 mm sleeve length, a 16 mm overall length, and a black color.

FAQs
What type of wire is this ferrule designed for?
This ferrule (Phoenix Contact 3200195) is designed for single-core wires with a nominal cross-section of 1.5mm².
What is the purpose of the plastic sleeve?
The plastic sleeve provides additional insulation, aids in guiding the wire into the ferrule, and helps to prevent stray wire strands from splaying out.
What are the dimensions of this ferrule?
The ferrule has a sleeve length of 10 mm and an overall length of 16 mm.
What material is the ferrule made of?
It is constructed from soft, tin-plated electrolytic copper.
How many ferrules are in one pack?
The quantity per pack is 100 pieces.
Can this ferrule be used with flexible stranded wires?
While primarily designed for single-core wires, with careful preparation and appropriate crimping, it can be used for some finely stranded wires where a 1.5mm² equivalent is achieved, though specific ferrules are often better suited for flexible stranded conductors.
What is the benefit of using ferrules?
Ferrules prevent wire strands from fraying or splaying, ensure a secure connection in terminal blocks, increase insulation reliability, and create a neater wiring appearance.
Troubleshooting
Ferrule does not fit wire
Ensure the wire is indeed 1.5mm² nominal cross-section. This ferrule is specifically designed for this size.
Wire strands are not fully contained within the ferrule sleeve
Ensure the wire is stripped to the correct length (approx. 10 mm) and fully inserted into the plastic sleeve before crimping. Check crimping tool settings for proper compression.
Poor electrical connection after termination
Verify that the crimping was performed correctly with an appropriate tool. Ensure the ferrule is fully seated in the terminal block. Check for any damage to the wire or ferrule.
Plastic sleeve is damaged during crimping
Ensure the crimping tool is designed for insulated ferrules and that the pressure is set correctly. Avoid over-crimping.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Increases connection reliability and prevents wire stranding.
- Plastic sleeve aids in insulation and wire guiding.
- Constructed from durable, tin-plated electrolytic copper.
- Standard design ensures broad compatibility.
- Color-coded for easy identification.
Cons
- Specific nominal cross-section (1.5mm²) limits use to compatible conductors.
- May require a specific crimping tool for optimal installation.
- Not suitable for multi-core flexible wires without proper preparation.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Strip Wire: Strip the end of the 1.5mm² single-core wire to the appropriate length, typically matching the sleeve length of the ferrule (10 mm).
- Insert Wire: Insert the stripped wire end fully into the black plastic sleeve of the ferrule.
- Crimp: Using a dedicated wire ferrule crimping tool, crimp the ferrule onto the wire. Ensure the tool is set for the correct wire cross-section (1.5mm²) and ferrule size. The crimp should be firm and secure, compressing both the metal and the plastic sleeve.
- Connect: Insert the terminated wire end into the appropriate terminal or connection point.
Compatibility:
- Wire Size: Primarily designed for conductors with a nominal cross-section of 1.5mm².
- Terminal Types: Compatible with most standard screw terminals, spring-cage terminals, and push-in terminals that accept ferruled conductors.
- Environmental: Suitable for standard industrial and domestic electrical environments.
Care:
- Inspection: Periodically inspect connections for signs of corrosion or damage. While the tinned copper offers good resistance, extreme environments may require additional protection.
- Cleaning: Keep the ferrules and surrounding connections clean and free from dust and debris. If cleaning is necessary, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners.
