Ferrule – AI-TWIN 2X 1 – 8 RD | Pre-Insulated Twin Wire End Sleeve

This AI-TWIN ferrule is a high-quality, pre-insulated wire end sleeve designed to terminate and secure two individual conductors into a single terminal block compartment. Specifically, the product code 2X 1 – 8 RD indicates its capacity for two wires in the 1 mm² to 8 mm² range, with a red color code for easy size identification. Crafted from precision tin-plated copper, this twin ferrule ensures excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Additionally, the transparent nylon insulation provides a secure, vibration-proof connection that prevents fraying and improves safety in electrical installations.

Key Features and Benefits of the AI-TWIN Ferrule:

Secure Twin-Wire Termination: This ferrule is engineered to combine two wires into a single, neat point of contact. As a result, it eliminates loose strands and ensures a reliable, gas-tight connection in terminal blocks. In fact, this is essential for complying with international electrical standards like DIN 46228-4.
Pre-Insulated for Safety: The transparent nylon insulation provides permanent finger protection and prevents accidental short-circuiting. Furthermore, it allows for visual verification of a proper crimp. The insulation is also resistant to most chemicals and oils found in industrial environments.
Color-Coded for Easy Identification: The red (RD) insulation sleeve corresponds to the wire range (1-8 mm²). Therefore, it streamlines the selection process and reduces installation errors for electricians and technicians.
Superior Materials: The sleeve is made from tin-plated copper. This material offers low resistance, high durability, and protection against oxidation. This is critical for maintaining long-term connection integrity.
Vibration and Pull-Out Resistance: Once properly crimped with a ratcheting crimping tool, the connection becomes highly resistant to vibration and wire pull-out. Consequently, it is ideal for use in control panels, machinery, and automotive applications.
