Why Choose the Partex UCEF618 Uninsulated Cord End Ferrule?
The Partex UCEF618 is a professional uninsulated cord end ferrule designed for terminating flexible stranded copper conductors in electrical installations. Featuring a 6 mm² nominal conductor size and an 18 mm metal barrel length, this ferrule provides a practical solution for preparing electrical conductors before connection to compatible terminal blocks, switchgear and electrical equipment.
As part of the Partex range of electrical cable termination accessories, the UCEF618 helps consolidate individual conductor strands into a compact, organised termination. Its uninsulated construction makes it suitable for applications where a plastic insulating collar is not required, while its extended 18 mm crimp barrel provides a defined conductor termination length for compatible electrical connections.
The Partex UCEF618 6 mm² cord end ferrule is particularly useful in industrial control panels, electrical distribution assemblies, machinery wiring and automation equipment. When installed using a suitable crimping tool, it helps provide consistent conductor preparation and supports neat, reliable electrical terminal connections.

Reliable 6 mm² Conductor Termination for Industrial Electrical Systems
Uninsulated cord end ferrules are used to prepare flexible stranded conductors for installation in compatible electrical terminals. By enclosing the individual copper strands within a crimped metal sleeve, they help maintain an organised conductor end and reduce the risk of loose strands interfering with adjacent electrical connections.
The Partex UCEF618 combines a 6 mm² conductor capacity with an 18 mm barrel length, making it suitable for electrical wiring applications where these dimensions match the conductor and receiving terminal. Its collarless construction is particularly useful where the terminal arrangement does not require an insulated ferrule entry.
For dependable installation, the conductor should be stripped to the appropriate length and fully inserted into the ferrule before crimping. A suitable crimping tool and die must be selected for the 6 mm² ferrule, and the finished termination should be inspected before insertion into an approved terminal. The receiving equipment must provide the necessary electrical insulation, clearances and mechanical protection.
Typical Applications
- Industrial electrical control panel wiring.
- Electrical distribution and switchgear assemblies.
- Machinery and industrial automation equipment.
- Motor control and electrical control circuits.
- Compatible terminal block conductor connections.
- OEM electrical equipment manufacturing.
- Electrical enclosure assembly and wiring.
- Industrial electrical maintenance, repair and refurbishment.
