FAQs
What wire size is this ferrule designed for?
This ferrule, the Eaton 3201107 (also known as Phoenix Contact AI 6 -12 BK), is designed for wires with a nominal cross-section of 6mm².
What is the purpose of the insulation on this ferrule?
The plastic insulation provides electrical isolation, helping to prevent short circuits and offering some protection against mechanical damage or abrasion at the termination point.
What is the sleeve length of this ferrule?
The sleeve length of this ferrule is 12 mm.
What is the overall length of the ferrule?
The overall length of the ferrule, including the insulation, is 20 mm.
What material is the ferrule made of?
The ferrule itself is made of tinned copper, providing good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The insulation is made of plastic.
Does this ferrule come with a specific crimping tool?
No, this ferrule does not include a crimping tool. A separate, compatible ferrule crimping tool is required for installation.
Is this ferrule RoHS compliant?
Yes, this product is certified as RoHS compliant, meaning it adheres to regulations restricting the use of certain hazardous materials.
Troubleshooting
Ferrule does not crimp securely
Ensure you are using the correct type and size of crimping tool for 6mm² ferrules. Verify the ferrule is fully inserted onto the wire strands before crimping. Check for any debris inside the ferrule or on the wire strands.
Wire strands are fraying after crimping
The wire may not have been twisted tightly enough before insertion, or the crimp may be too loose. Ensure strands are twisted tightly and the crimping tool is adjusted correctly for a firm, consistent crimp.
Ferrule insulation is damaged during crimping
You may be using excessive force or an incorrect crimping profile. Refer to your crimping tool's instructions for proper application force for insulated ferrules. Ensure the ferrule is correctly seated before crimping.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enhances wire termination reliability by preventing strand fraying.
- Provides electrical insulation for increased safety.
- Durable construction with tinned copper for excellent conductivity.
- Color-coded for easy identification.
- Compliant with RoHS environmental standards.
Cons
- Requires a specific crimping tool for correct application.
- Designed for a specific wire size (6mm²), limiting versatility.
- May add slight bulk to the termination point.
- Single unit pack quantity might not be ideal for large projects.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Strip the wire insulation to the appropriate length according to the ferrule's sleeve size (typically the ferrule's sleeve length plus a small margin).
- Twist the stripped wire strands together to form a tight bundle.
- Insert the wire strands fully into the open end of the Eaton 3201107 ferrule, ensuring they reach the end.
- Using a compatible crimping tool designed for bootlace ferrules, crimp the ferrule onto the wire strands. Ensure the crimp is firm and secure, but do not over-crimp, which could damage the strands or insulation.
Compatibility:
- Wire Size: Primarily designed for 6mm² conductors.
- Crimping Tool: Requires a specialized ferrule crimping tool. Consult the tool's manual for compatibility with 6mm² ferrules and a 12mm sleeve length.
Care:
- Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
- Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or chemicals that could degrade the plastic insulation.
- Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
