Pacer Yellow 18 AWG Wire Ferrule - 6mm Length - 25 Pack

Ensure your marine electrical connections are secure and reliable with our Yellow 18 AWG Wire Ferrules. Designed specifically for the demanding environments of boating and marine applications, these ferrules prevent wire fraying and enhance connection integrity, providing peace of mind on every voyage.

Why Wire Ferrules are Essential for Marine Applications

In the marine environment, electrical connections are exposed to constant vibrations, moisture, and corrosive salt air. These conditions can cause stranded wires to fray, leading to weak connections and potential electrical failures. Our Yellow 18 AWG Wire Ferrules address these challenges by:

• Preventing Strand Separation: Ensures that stranded wires remain intact, reducing the risk of fraying and breakage.
• Enhancing Connection Reliability: Provides a solid and consistent connection, especially when terminating wires in IEC terminal blocks commonly used in marine equipment.
• Offering Additional Insulation: The insulated ferrules add an extra layer of electrical insulation, protecting against short circuits and corrosion in harsh marine conditions.

Installation Guide

Proper installation of wire ferrules is crucial for maintaining reliable electrical connections in your marine projects. Follow these steps to ensure optimal performance:

1. Strip the Wire: Carefully remove the insulation from the wire to the specified stripping length of 8mm (0.31 in.), ensuring that the strands are not damaged.
2. Slide on the Ferrule: Place the ferrule over the exposed wire, making sure the nylon casing aligns flush with the wire insulation to prevent moisture ingress.
3. Crimp Securely: Use the appropriate crimping tool to firmly press the ferrule onto the wire. Proper crimping pressure is essential to create a durable and reliable connection.
4. Optional Protection: For added protection against the marine elements, apply heat shrink tubing over the crimped ferrule.
