Klauke 4696 wire end ferrule insulated 0.5 mm² 6 mm white DIN 46228-4 Cu galvanically zinc-plated content_copy

The wire end ferrule type 4696 from Klauke is an insulated end ferrule for fine- and extra-fine stranded conductors, particularly for cables according to DIN EN 60228 class 5 and 6. It ensures a secure and durable connection of cable conductors at electrical connection points, with the insulated design providing electrical protection. The ferrule is equipped with Easy-Entry insulation, enabling splice-free cable entry, thus reducing installation time and minimizing the risk of incorrect connections. The ferrule is halogen-free and therefore suitable for applications where the avoidance of toxic fumes in case of fire is required.

Applications
The wire end ferrule 4696 is used in electrical installation and industrial applications where fine cable cross-sections (0.5 mm² to 6 mm²) are processed. It is particularly suitable for applications in building electrics, automation technology, and wiring of control and enclosure cabinets. Compliance with standard DIN 46228 part 4 ensures uniform color coding and dimensions, facilitating processing and identification during installation.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The end ferrule has a total length of 12 mm and is designed for cable cross-sections from 0.5 mm² to 6 mm². The insulation is matched to the cable size and enables safe electrical isolation. The Easy-Entry technology allows cable insertion without prior stripping, simplifying installation and minimizing the risk of cable damage. The ferrule is made of galvanized copper material, ensuring high mechanical strength and good electrical conductivity.

Technology Explained Simply
The insulation of the wire end ferrule is halogen-free, meaning that no toxic halogen compounds are released in case of fire. The temperature resistance up to 105 °C makes the ferrule suitable for applications in environments with increased heat load, such as in enclosures or near heat sources. Dimensions and color coding comply with DIN 46228 part 4, enabling uniform processing and identification during installation. The CSA listing confirms approval for use in Canada and demonstrates compliance with international safety standards.

Compatibility and Accessories
The wire end ferrule is designed for cable cross-sections from 0.5 mm² to 6 mm² and is suitable for fine- and extra-fine stranded conductors as defined in DIN EN 60228 class 5 and 6. It can be used in combination with appropriate cables and connection techniques (e.g. screw terminals, crimp connections). Compliance with DIN 46228 part 4 ensures compatibility with other components manufactured according to this standard.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the cable into the end ferrule, with the Easy-Entry insulation enabling splice-free connection. The ferrule is then crimped using suitable tools (e.g. crimping pliers) to ensure a secure and durable connection. Processing requires no additional tools or materials, as the ferrule already provides the necessary insulation and mechanical strength.

Advantages in Operation
The wire end ferrule 4696 provides a reliable electrical connection with high mechanical strength. The halogen-free insulation increases safety in case of fire, while temperature resistance up to 105 °C enables a wide range of applications. The Easy-Entry technology reduces installation time and minimizes error sources. Compliance with DIN 46228 part 4 ensures uniform processing and compatibility with other components. The CSA listing confirms international recognition and safety of the product.
