Description
Ferules are a specialty crimp on connector pin used to terminate stranded wire in screw terminals and other clamping connectors. Stranded wire is much harder to keep tight in these types of connectors due to the multiple strands vs. solid core wire. With enough heating/cooling cycles or vibration (or some combination of both) they can work loose over time causing a high resistance connection. The Ferrule compresses the strands like any other crimp connector, allowing for a lower resistance connection and gives the screw terminal a large semi-solid surface to clamp on to.
This kit contains 1200 ferule crimps in 8 different sizes ranging from 22AWG to 7AWG. A ferule crimping tool will be required to use these – see our recommended accessories!
