Wire crimping and Soldering. Which one is better?

Wire crimping” has pros in that it is easy to install, the electricity can flow smoothly, and it can be used with various equipments. But the cons are that it costs money due to the tools used in the process. On the other hand, “Soldering” uses Flux to make electrical contact, which is cheaper than wire crimping. But the wire and contact point have less flexibility. If you use soldering in equipment that causes vibration, there is a risk of broken wires.

How many Wires can crimp together?

It is not recommended for pair multiple wires in one crimp terminal when wire crimping. Because crimp terminals are designed to work with a specific size of wire, when multiple wires are combined in one crimp, the holding force is reduced, resulting in heat at the terminal.

Should you twist the wire before crimping?

If stranded wire is used in wire crimping, The twisted method of copper wire before wire crimping will increase the surface density. The chance that a wire terminal will be loose or fall out after crimping is going to be reduced. and the risk of an electrical accident is also decreased.

Can you use plier for wire crimping?

It is not recommended to use pliers to crimp the wire except “Wire Crimper”. because there is a chance that the wire terminal will be loose or damaged, which is called “Bad Contact”. And when the equipment is running, the heat at the terminal is going to increase more than usual because electricity cannot flow smoothly. It will cause the ark to and melted wires. Therefore, should study how to use the crimping pliers properly to prevent the danger that may occur.

Crimp Terminals

A crimp terminal is a connection part used by attaching to the end of a cable. There are various types such as bare crimp terminals,insulated crimp terminals, plug-in crimp terminals, etc. The main shapes are round, Y-type, sleeve-ring type, blade type, etc. There are two types: crimping using a dedicated tool, and connecting to the terminal block by insertion., therefore select the type according to the application and connection target. The structure and characteristics of the crimp terminals differ depending on the product, and there are various products available such as those with heat resistance that can be used for heater wires and heating wires, those that have guides that allow the cable to be inserted smoothly into the cylinder, those that are tin-plated and corrosion-resistant, etc. It is widely used for applications that require mating, such as internal wiring of industrial equipment, measuring instrument, FA control equipment, etc., connection between equipment, various electrical work, etc.

Insulated French Colour Coded Bootlace Ferrules

Until 30/06/2024

Insulated French Colour Coded Bootlace Ferrules【25 Pieces Per Package】

RS Pro

From RS Pro a range of high-quality French colour coded bootlace ferrules (also known as cord end terminals) for providing a clean end termination to multi-stranded wires. These reliable wire ferrules ensure that you have a positive connection when connecting wires to terminal blocks and captive terminals.

What Is a Bootlace Ferrule?
A bootlace ferrule is a metal tube or ferrule with a moulded colour coded insulating collar made from nylon. The ferrule is slipped over the end of a multi-stranded wire, 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
• Excellent electrical connection
• Reduces short circuits
• German colour coded collar for easy ferrule size identification
• Nylon insulated collar for reduced leakage, creepage and gas intrusion
• Tin plated copper tube for excellent conductivity
• Crimped terminal can be repeatedly inserted and removed without degrading end of the wire
