Product Information

Full details

These Schneider Electric AZ5CE025 insulated wire ferrules are designed for electrical professionals working with 2.5mm² stranded wire. They ensure secure, reliable terminations in industrial and commercial settings by preventing wire fraying and ensuring proper contact. A potential consideration is that the specific pin length may not suit all terminal types.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of using wire ferrules?

Wire ferrules consolidate and secure the individual strands of a flexible conductor, preventing fraying and ensuring a more reliable and consistent electrical connection when inserted into terminals.

Can these ferrules be used with solid core wire?

No, these ferrules are designed specifically for stranded wire. Solid core wire does not require ferrules.

What tool is needed to install these ferrules?

A dedicated ferrule crimping tool is required. The tool must be rated for the correct wire size (2.5mm²).

What does the insulated collar provide?

The plastic collar provides electrical insulation, protecting against accidental contact with adjacent terminals or components, and also acts as a strain relief.

Are these ferrules suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?

The tinned copper offers good corrosion resistance, but the plastic insulation may degrade under extreme temperatures or prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals. For very extreme conditions, specific industrial-grade ferrules may be necessary.

How many ferrules are in a pack?

Each pack contains 500 medium-length gray ferrules.

What is the pin length of these ferrules?

The pin length is 8.2mm.

Troubleshooting

Ferrule does not fit onto the wire.

Ensure you are using the correct ferrule size (2.5mm²) for the wire. Verify the wire is stranded, not solid. Ensure wire ends are not frayed excessively before insertion.

Crimp is loose or ineffective.

Confirm you are using a compatible ferrule crimping tool. Ensure the tool is adjusted correctly for 2.5mm² ferrules. Ensure the crimp is applied evenly and firmly to the ferrule body.

Insulated collar is damaged during crimping.

Ensure the crimping tool jaws do not overlap the insulated collar. Position the crimp tool squarely on the metal barrel of the ferrule.

Wire strands are splaying out after crimping.

Ensure all strands were fully inserted into the ferrule before crimping. A properly executed crimp should contain the strands securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances electrical connection reliability and safety.
  • Prevents wire strand splaying for cleaner terminations.
  • Offers good conductivity and corrosion resistance.
  • Meets relevant industry safety standards.
  • Convenient packaging for professional use.

Cons

  • Specific pin length (8.2mm) might not be universally compatible.
  • Designed only for 2.5mm² wire, limiting application scope.
  • Requires a specific crimping tool for proper installation (tool not included).
  • Plastic insulation may be sensitive to extreme temperatures.
  • Pack quantity (500 pieces) might be excessive for small jobs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Strip the end of the 2.5mm² stranded wire to the appropriate length, typically matching the ferrule's pin length (8.2mm).
  2. Twist the stripped strands together to ensure they are neat.
  3. Slide the AZ5CE025 ferrule onto the stripped wire end, ensuring the wire strands are fully contained within the copper tube.
  4. Using a compatible, high-quality ferrule crimping tool, crimp the ferrule firmly onto the wire. Ensure the crimp is centered on the ferrule body for a secure connection.
  5. Insert the crimped ferrule into the terminal block or connector.

Compatibility:

  • Wire Size: Designed exclusively for 2.5mm² (approximately 14 AWG) stranded copper wire.
  • Terminal Types: Compatible with standard screw terminals, push-in terminals, and other connectors designed to accept bootlace ferrules.
  • Tools: Requires a dedicated ferrule crimping tool. Ensure the tool is set for the correct ferrule size (2.5mm²).

Care:

  • Store ferrules in their original packaging or a clean, dry container to prevent contamination or damage.
  • Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive environments, which could affect the tin plating over time.
  • Handle with care to avoid bending or deforming the ferrules before installation.
