Why Choose the Partex CEF1518F-C Black Insulated Cord End Ferrule?
The Partex CEF1518F-C is a single insulated cord end ferrule designed for terminating flexible stranded electrical conductors in industrial control panels, electrical distribution equipment and automation systems. Featuring a 1.5 mm² nominal conductor cross-section, 18 mm barrel length and black insulated collar, this ferrule provides a practical solution for preparing electrical conductors for compatible terminal connections.
As part of the Partex insulated cord end ferrule range, the CEF1518F-C helps contain individual wire strands during termination. Its metal barrel is designed to be crimped onto a correctly prepared conductor, while the insulated collar provides a defined conductor entry point and a neat transition between the cable insulation and the terminated end. The extended 18 mm barrel is particularly useful where the receiving terminal is designed to accommodate this ferrule length.
Supplied in a convenient pack of 100 ferrules, the Partex CEF1518F-C is suitable for electricians, control-panel builders, machinery manufacturers and industrial maintenance engineers requiring consistent cable preparation and professional conductor termination.

Professional Cable Termination for Industrial Control and Automation
Flexible stranded conductors are commonly used in industrial control panels, motor control systems, PLC cabinets and automation equipment. When these conductors are connected to suitable electrical terminals, a correctly selected cord end ferrule helps maintain the conductor strands together, providing a defined termination profile and reducing the likelihood of stray strands during installation.
The Partex CEF1518F-C is specified for 1.5 mm² single-conductor termination and features an 18 mm barrel. During installation, the conductor is stripped to the appropriate length, inserted fully into the ferrule and secured using a compatible ferrule crimping tool. The black insulated collar provides a defined transition at the conductor entry, while the crimped barrel can be inserted into a suitable electrical terminal.
The 18 mm barrel length is an important selection consideration, particularly when working with terminal blocks or equipment connections with specific insertion-depth requirements. The receiving terminal must accept the finished ferrule dimensions, and the conductor construction, stripping length, crimp profile and terminal tightening requirements should be checked against the relevant manufacturers' instructions. A single cord end ferrule should not be used to terminate two conductors unless that arrangement is specifically approved.
