Why Choose the Partex CEF618F-K 6 mm² Insulated Cord End Ferrule?
The Partex CEF618F-K is a green single insulated cord end ferrule designed for terminating 6 mm² stranded electrical conductors. Featuring an 18 mm metal barrel, it provides a practical method of preparing flexible cable ends for insertion into compatible electrical terminals, helping keep individual wire strands together during installation.
Its insulated collar supports easier conductor insertion and provides a neat transition between the cable insulation and the ferrule barrel. The green colour coding helps identify the ferrule during wiring and assembly, while the single-conductor design makes it suitable for terminating individual flexible wires in control panels, electrical cabinets and industrial equipment.
Supplied in a bulk pack of 1,000 pieces, the Partex CEF618F-K is particularly useful for electrical panel manufacturers, automation system builders and maintenance teams carrying out repetitive cable preparation. It provides a convenient, solderless termination solution where the conductor size, ferrule dimensions and receiving terminal are compatible.
Key Advantages
- 6 mm² conductor compatibility for appropriately sized stranded electrical wires.
- 18 mm barrel length for applications requiring a longer ferrule insertion section.

Consistent Crimp Termination for 6 mm² Flexible Conductors
Flexible stranded conductors contain multiple individual wire strands that can spread apart during installation into electrical terminals. The Partex CEF618F-K provides a tubular ferrule barrel that surrounds the prepared conductor end. Once crimped with an appropriate ferrule tool, the termination holds the strands together and provides a consistent contact section for insertion into a compatible terminal.
The 18 mm barrel is particularly relevant when selecting a ferrule for a terminal with a corresponding insertion depth. The installer should strip the conductor to the appropriate length, insert all strands fully into the ferrule, apply the correct crimp profile and inspect the finished termination. The receiving terminal must be approved for ferrule use and accommodate the crimped dimensions; a ferrule should not be assumed suitable solely because the conductor cross-section matches.
Typical Applications
