Why Choose the Partex UCEF110 Uninsulated Cord End Ferrule?
The Partex UCEF110 is a professional uninsulated cord end ferrule designed for terminating flexible stranded copper conductors with a nominal cross-sectional area of 1 mm². Featuring a 10 mm metal barrel length, this bootlace ferrule provides a practical solution for preparing conductor ends before insertion into compatible electrical terminals, helping achieve neat, consistent and organised wiring connections.
Part of the Partex uninsulated cord end ferrule range, the UCEF110 is designed to consolidate the individual strands of a flexible conductor into a compact crimped termination. Unlike insulated ferrules, this version does not feature a plastic entry collar, making it suitable for applications where an uninsulated ferrule configuration is preferred or required by the terminal design.
The 1 mm² conductor capacity and 10 mm barrel length make the UCEF110 a practical choice for electrical control panels, industrial automation equipment, machinery wiring and general electrical assembly. When installed using a compatible crimping tool, the ferrule helps prevent loose conductor strands and supports reliable termination practices in professional electrical installations.

Reliable Uninsulated Conductor Terminations for Electrical Control Systems
Correct preparation of flexible stranded conductors is important for achieving consistent electrical connections. The Partex UCEF110 uninsulated cord end ferrule provides a practical method of preparing 1 mm² copper conductors for connection to compatible electrical terminals. Its crimpable metal barrel helps consolidate the conductor strands, producing a compact termination that can be inserted into an appropriately sized terminal opening.
Unlike insulated cord end ferrules, the UCEF110 does not include a plastic entry collar. This construction can be useful where installation space is restricted or where the terminal manufacturer specifies an uninsulated ferrule. However, the absence of an insulating collar means that the ferrule itself does not provide additional electrical insulation, and the installation must maintain the required insulation, clearances and protection against accidental contact.
For installation, the conductor should be stripped to a length appropriate for the 10 mm barrel and the receiving terminal's requirements. The exposed strands are inserted fully into the ferrule before the barrel is compressed using a compatible crimping tool. Correct crimping helps keep the strands together and supports consistent conductor positioning within the terminal.
The receiving terminal must be suitable for a 1 mm² conductor fitted with an uninsulated ferrule of the resulting crimped dimensions. Installers should follow the terminal manufacturer's conductor preparation instructions, tightening requirements and electrical ratings. A ferrule should not be assumed to improve the current-carrying capacity of the conductor or terminal.
The Partex UCEF110 is a practical choice for electrical contractors, panel builders and maintenance engineers requiring consistent, professional conductor preparation across industrial electrical installations.
