The wire end ferrule 47318 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 in electrical installations, with the insulated design providing protection against contact and short-circuit. The end ferrule features an Easy-Entry insulation, enabling a splice-free cable entry and thus reducing installation time. The insulation is halogen-free, which is advantageous for use in indoor environments and in systems with high safety requirements.

Applications

The wire end ferrule 47318 is designed for use in electrical installations, particularly in areas where fine and extra-fine stranded conductors are used. It is suitable for applications in building electrics, industrial electrical engineering, as well as in systems requiring high reliability and safety. The colour coding according to DIN 46228 part 4 enables clear identification of conductor cross-sections and simplifies installation and maintenance.

Functions and Features in Detail

The end ferrule has a total length of 24 mm and is designed for a conductor cross-section of 2.5 mm². The insulation is designed to allow direct, splice-free insertion of the cable, thereby reducing the risk of incorrect connections or mechanical damage. The blue colour corresponds to DIN 46228 part 4 and indicates the cross-section of 2.5 mm². The ferrule is made of galvanised zinc-plated copper material, ensuring high corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity.

Technology Explained Simply

The Easy-Entry insulation is a special design that allows the cable to be inserted directly into the ferrule without prior splicing or stripping. This reduces installation effort and increases connection reliability. The insulation is halogen-free, meaning no toxic gases are released in case of fire. The temperature resistance up to 105 °C makes the end ferrule suitable for applications with increased thermal loads, such as in electrical enclosures or near heat sources.

Compatibility and Accessories

The wire end ferrule is designed for fine and extra-fine stranded conductors according to DIN EN 60228 class 5 and 6. The dimensions and colour coding comply with DIN 46228 part 4, enabling compatible use with other products within the same standard framework. The end ferrule is CSA-listed, confirming approval for use in Canada and other regions with CSA requirements.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by directly inserting the cable into the insulated end ferrule, with the Easy-Entry technology enabling a quick and secure connection. The ferrule is then processed using an appropriate crimping tool or cable cutter to ensure a firm connection. The use of tools is required to properly crimp the end ferrule. Installation takes place in standard electrical installations, with compliance to DIN 46228 and DIN EN 60228 standards required.

Operational Advantages

The wire end ferrule 47318 provides a reliable and durable connection, enhanced by the splice-free insertion and halogen-free insulation. The high temperature resistance up to 105 °C and the corrosion resistance of galvanised copper ensure a long service life even under demanding conditions. The clear colour coding simplifies identification and maintenance of installations. The CSA listing enables use in international projects, particularly in regions with CSA requirements.
