The 3201408 is a blue coded insulation ferrule and contains all the same specifications as above. This ferrule can take a maximum wire size of 2.5mm² and has a length of 14mm. These taped ferrules were developed specifically for the crimping machine CF 3000 -2,5.

Phoenix contact provides you with a range of great insulated ferrules that can be crimped onto the end of a cable or wire to give your connection more stability and prevention from fraying. These bootlace crimp ferrules are made from a soft tin-plated electrolytic copper and have a soft plastic cover to further enhance the connection and prevention of fraying. Designed with safety in mind, they're free from any silicone and halogen.

Ferrules are simple and easy to install. Firstly, they're mounted to the end of a stripped cable and are simply compressed onto the cable (typically with a tool) to form a tight and sturdy fit onto a cable. Once they're crimped onto the cable, give a gentle tug to ensure it is tight. Once you're sure it is tight, you can then proceed to mate your wire with connector.

Bootlace ferrules are used to help prevent the cable splicing or fraying when a connection is made. Typically the terminal blocks use a screw-connection, so if you have a bootlace ferrule mounted on your wire, this allows the screw to make a better bond rather than a few strands of metal cable. Not to mention, installing a bootlace ferrule ensures your connection is easier to install and remove.
