Why Choose the Cembre 8010085 PKC1518-UK/PK500 Insulated Bootlace Ferrule?
The Cembre 8010085 PKC1518-UK/PK500 is a premium red insulated bootlace ferrule (wire end sleeve) designed to provide secure, low-resistance termination of stranded copper conductors. Manufactured by Cembre, it reinforces flexible conductor strands before insertion into screw or spring clamp terminals, ensuring safe, reliable and professional electrical connections for industrial control panels, switchgear and automation equipment.
Manufactured from electrolytic tin-plated copper with a durable PA6 polyamide insulated collar, the ferrule offers excellent conductivity, corrosion resistance and long service life. The funnel-shaped insulated entry simplifies conductor insertion while preventing strand damage during crimping, helping to produce consistent, high-quality cable terminations.
Designed for 1.5 mm² stranded copper conductors, the PKC1518-UK/PK500 features an 18 mm pin length and is supplied in a pack of 500, making it ideal for OEM machinery, industrial control panels, power distribution equipment and electrical installation projects.
