Why Choose AI-TWIN Ferrules?
Selecting the ferrule AI-TWIN provides significant advantages for electrical installations. Firstly, the twin-wire design reduces the number of termination points in terminal blocks, saving space and creating more organized panel layouts. Secondly, the tin-plated copper construction ensures excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, maintaining reliable connections over the long term. Consequently, you achieve both space efficiency and electrical reliability in your control panel installations.
Proper Installation Guidelines
Correct installation of the ferrule AI-TWIN is crucial for optimal performance. Strip both wires to the recommended length, insert them into the ferrule barrel, and crimp using an appropriate double-wire ferrule crimping tool. Furthermore, ensure the insulation collar sits flush against the wire insulation to provide strain relief and prevent wire strand exposure. Always verify the crimp quality to ensure a gas-tight connection that won’t loosen over time.
