Why Choose the Partex CEF2518F-K 2.5 mm² Grey Insulated Cord End Ferrule?
The Partex CEF2518F-K is a grey single insulated cord end ferrule designed for terminating 2.5 mm² stranded electrical conductors. Featuring an 18 mm metal barrel, this ferrule provides a practical solution for preparing flexible cable ends before insertion into compatible electrical terminals in industrial control panels, distribution cabinets and electrical equipment.
The ferrule combines a tubular metal crimp barrel with a grey insulating collar, helping to keep individual conductor strands together during termination. Its single-conductor construction supports neat, consistent cable preparation, while the extended barrel length makes it suitable for applications requiring an appropriately sized terminal insertion section.
Supplied in a bulk pack of 1,000 pieces, the Partex CEF2518F-K is particularly useful for electrical panel manufacturers, automation engineers, electrical contractors and industrial maintenance teams carrying out repetitive wiring operations. Its insulated design and solderless crimp connection method support efficient, professional electrical assembly.

Consistent Crimp Termination for 2.5 mm² Flexible Electrical Conductors
Flexible stranded electrical conductors contain multiple individual wire strands that can separate when inserted directly into electrical terminals. The Partex CEF2518F-K provides a tubular metal barrel that surrounds the prepared conductor end. When compressed using a suitable ferrule crimping tool, the barrel helps consolidate the strands into a uniform termination for insertion into a compatible electrical connection.
The 18 mm barrel length is an important consideration when selecting a ferrule for electrical terminals with particular insertion-depth requirements. For correct installation, the conductor should be stripped to the appropriate length, inserted fully into the ferrule and crimped using tooling suitable for 2.5 mm² insulated cord end ferrules. The completed termination should be inspected, and the receiving terminal must accommodate the barrel length and finished crimp dimensions.
