Description
Termco Single Cord End Terminals (Boot Lace)
Indeed, cord end terminals, also called bootlace ferrules, crimp onto a stripped stranded conductor. They present a smooth metal sleeve rather than a ring, fork or blade. Termco single cord end terminals suit stranded conductors from 0.25mm² to 95mm². Each size is colour-coded to the DIN 46228 standard, so the conductor size is identifiable at a glance.
Because the ferrule surrounds every strand evenly, it stops the strands from splaying or breaking under a clamp. Consequently, cord end terminals are standard practice for a fine-strand or flexible conductor. In practice, they terminate in a screw or spring-cage terminal block.
Sizes and Colour Coding
Specifically, this range covers conductor sizes from 0.25mm² to 95mm². Each size uses the matching DIN 46228 colour, with a pin length sized to suit. In addition, some sizes are also available with a longer pin option for deeper terminal blocks.
- 0.25mm² – Violet
- 0.34mm² – Pink
- 0.5mm² – White
- 0.75mm² – Blue
- 1mm² – Red
- 1.5mm² – Black
- 2.5mm² – Grey
- 4mm² – Orange
- 6mm² – Green
- 10mm² – Brown
- 16mm² – Ivory
- 25mm² – Black
- 35mm² – Red
- 50mm² – Blue
- 70mm² – Yellow
- 95mm² – Red
Applications
Notably, installers use single cord end terminals wherever a flexible or fine-strand conductor terminates in a spring-cage or screw terminal block. For example, common installations include control panels, PLC wiring and switchboard terminal rails. Accordingly, this range covers the standard DIN sizes found in this equipment.
Overall, correct crimping requires a ferrule crimping tool suited to this conductor size range.
