Why Choose the Partex CEF418F-K Insulated Cord End Ferrule?
The Partex CEF418F-K is a high-quality single insulated cord end ferrule designed to provide secure and reliable terminations for flexible stranded electrical conductors. Featuring a 4 mm² conductor capacity, an 18 mm metal barrel length and an orange insulating collar, this ferrule is suitable for professional electrical installation, control panel assembly and industrial wiring applications.
Manufactured by Partex, a specialist in electrical identification and connection products, the CEF418F-K helps protect stranded conductors during terminal installation. Its metal crimp barrel consolidates individual wire strands into a stable termination, while the insulated collar helps guide the conductor into the ferrule and provides additional insulation at the wire entry.
Supplied in a convenient pack of 1,000 ferrules, the CEF418F-K is ideal for electricians, panel builders and industrial maintenance teams requiring consistent and efficient cable termination. Its extended 18 mm barrel is particularly useful where a longer insertion length is required for compatible terminal connections.

Reliable Crimp Termination for Flexible Conductors
Flexible stranded conductors require appropriate termination methods to ensure individual wire strands remain together when inserted into electrical terminals. Cord end ferrules provide a practical solution by enclosing the stripped conductor within a metal sleeve that is compressed using a suitable crimping tool.
The Partex CEF418F-K is designed for 4 mm² stranded conductors and features an 18 mm barrel for applications requiring a longer termination sleeve. When correctly crimped and installed in a compatible terminal, the ferrule helps create a neat, consistent conductor end and reduces the risk of loose strands interfering with the connection.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panels and switchboards.
- Terminal block connections and control cabinet wiring.
- PLC panels and industrial automation equipment.
- Machinery wiring and electrical equipment assembly.
- Power distribution and electrical installation projects.
- High-volume cable preparation and panel manufacturing.
