The bootlace ferrule kit consists of 400 high-quality DIN and insulated bootlace ferrules. The standard colour-coded insulated bootlace ferrules are also referred to as wire-end ferrules or cord-end ferrules. The contents are separately housed in distinct sections within a clear circular box and come in different sizes, including 0.5 mm² through to 2.5 mm². There are ferrule kits with durable and lightweight handles for easy carrying applications. In addition, the kit allows easy operations in various settings ensuring all the essential terminal sizes are housed with easy portability attributes. 

Features and Benefits of Bootlace Ferrule Crimp Terminal Kit (400 Piece):

Bootlace ferrule kit features excellent attributes with plenty of advantages, such as:

• It comes as a transparent plastic circular box allowing portable and compact storage. 
• Different compartments for terminal size assortments and convenient selection. 
• The kit is provided with colour-coded insulation to identify distinct ferrule types easily. 
• It is made of highly exceptional and durable nylon. 
• Features maximised electrical rating.
• Provides a robust electrical connection where a crimped terminal allows repeated insertion and removal without the wire being degraded.
• It is available in varied colours, such as blue, white, grey, black, and red. 

Contents of Crimp Terminal Kits:

Depending on terminal kit types, they may include crucial terminal components, including crimp tools, crimp terminals, coaxial cable strippers, cable cutters, and ratchet tools.

What Are the French Colour Code Kits?

French colour-code kits refer to two handy insulated bootlace ferrules’ kits of 0·5 mm² through to 10 mm². These kits comprise two stock numbers representing the content number and types, as kit 1 consists of ferrules only, whereas kit 2 includes plier crimp tools and ferrules with sizes from 0.75 to 10 mm².

What is Meant by Crimping?

Crimping is the process of wire strand terminations to allow them to connect to external circuits after being squeezed by crimping tools. This process is beneficial as it resists wire corrosion and makes mechanically strong connections by a cold weld to given terminals. 

How to Crimp a Terminal?

Within a crimp terminal kit, the desired terminal can be crimped by following simple practices, such as: 

• Gently insert the terminal into the crimping tool, followed by inserting a wire into the terminal.
• Squeeze the crimping tool’s handles together for cold welding the terminal onto the wire.

Bootlace Ferrules: A Brief Introduction

Bootlace ferrules are metallic tubes with moulded, colour-coded plastic and insulating collars. The cable and wire ferrules are placed over the multistranded wire, or cable ends, crimped, screwed, or spring clamped, capturing all strands for making electrical connections. 

Typical Applications of Bootlace Ferrules:

Bootlace ferrules are widely used to insert various terminal blocks and screw terminals. They are essential for environments that require multistranded wire connections and offer several applications for:

• Circuit breakers
• Electrical Control Panels, and
• Circuit Breakers.
