Pacer Red 16 AWG Wire Ferrule - 8mm Length - 25 Pack

Reliable and secure electrical connections are essential in marine environments. Our Red 16 AWG Wire Ferrules ensure your stranded wires stay intact and provide consistent performance, even in the challenging conditions of boating and marine applications. Designed specifically for durability and reliability on the water, these ferrules help maintain optimal electrical connections in your vessel's wiring systems.

Why Choose Our Wire Ferrules for Marine Use

In marine settings, electrical connections are subjected to constant vibrations, moisture, and shifting components. Wire fraying can quickly become a problem, especially when dealing with IEC (European)-style terminal blocks commonly used in marine electrical systems. As the wire frays, the connection becomes weaker, increasing the risk of electrical failures. Our wire ferrules prevent fraying by covering the stranded wire and creating a solid, connected piece. This transformation makes stranded wire behave like solid wire, ensuring stable and reliable connections essential for the safety and performance of your marine equipment.

Installation Guide

1. Strip the Wire: Begin by stripping the wire to the correct length, as specified in the stripping length measurement. This exposes the necessary length of wire for the ferrule.
2. Slide the Ferrule: Carefully slide the ferrule over the exposed wire, ensuring that the nylon casing aligns precisely with the wire insulation. Proper alignment is crucial for a secure fit.
3. Crimp the Ferrule: Using a proper crimping tool designed for wire ferrules, apply the appropriate pressure to crimp the ferrule onto the wire. Proper crimping ensures a solid connection that will not loosen over time, even in a marine environment.
4. Optional Protection: For added protection against moisture and corrosion, you may choose to apply heat shrink tubing over the crimped ferrule. This extra layer provides additional insulation and safeguards your connections from the harsh marine elements.

Features

• Prevents Strand Separation: Maintains the integrity of each strand within the wire, minimizing strand breakage and ensuring consistent conductivity.
• Insulated for Safety: The insulated ferrules provide an additional layer of electrical insulation, enhancing safety by reducing the risk of short circuits.
• Enhanced Connection Reliability: Ideal for terminating stranded wires in terminal blocks, these ferrules increase the reliability of connections, crucial for the dependable operation of marine electrical systems.
