RS PRO French Colour Code Bootlace Ferrule Kit with Crimp Tool

From RS PRO a handy crimp terminal kit containing an assortment of high-quality French colour coded insulated bootlace ferrules (also known as cord end ferrules or wire end ferrules) and a crimping tool. These wire ferrules range from size 0·5 mm² through to 10 mm² and are stored in separate compartments inside the box for easy selection. The crimp tool is also stored in its own compartment. This kit is portable and ensures you are equipped with all the necessary terminal sizes when it comes to terminating conductors wherever you are working.

What Is a Bootlace Ferrule?

A bootlace ferrule is a metal tube or ferrule with a moulded colour coded insulating collar made from plastic. The ferrule is slipped over the end of a multi-stranded wire or cable, crimped and then inserted into a screw or spring clamp connection.

Where is a Bootlace Ferrule Used?

When the end of a multi-stranded wire is stripped and placed directly under a screw terminal the strands of the wire will naturally fan out under the pressure of the screw. Some strands will go astray. This reduces the quality of the electrical connection and can also result in electrical shorts. When a bootlace ferrule is used, the insulated funnel with it's flared design captures all the strands. These strands are then crimped together in the ferrule tube. The crimped ferrule is then inserted into the terminal to create an electrical connection
