The twin wire end ferrule 8698 from Klauke is an insulated connection component for fine and extra-fine stranded conductors, particularly for cable cross-sections according to DIN EN 60228 class 5 and 6. It is designed for secure and durable connection of two individual conductors, each with a cross-section of 0.5 mm², with the total length of the ferrule being 15.0 mm. The insulated design enables safe installation in terminals, where the insulated length of 8 mm protects the contact area and prevents injury from exposed conductors. The ferrule is manufactured in white, with colour coding in accordance with DIN 46228 part 4, enabling clear identification within the electrical system.

Twin wire end ferrule is specifically designed for use in installations where multiple fine conductors must be bundled into a single terminal. Typical applications include enclosures, control systems, or other electrical installations requiring high packing density and simultaneous safety. The ferrule is halogen-free, meaning lower toxicity and smoke emission during processing and in the event of fire. Its temperature resistance up to 105 °C makes it suitable for applications with increased thermal stress, such as industrial environments or near heat sources.

Insulation and colour coding are key features for safe and proper installation. The insulation prevents short circuits and electrical shock hazards, while the colour coding according to DIN 46228 part 4 allows clear identification of conductors, especially in complex circuits. The ferrule is made of copper, which is galvanically tinned, ensuring good electrical conductivity and corrosion protection. The tinning also improves solderability and contact quality.

Technology explained clearly: The twin wire end ferrule combines two individual conductors, each with a cross-section of 0.5 mm², into a single insulated connection. The total length of 15.0 mm includes the metallic part and the 8 mm insulated section, which is inserted into the terminal. The tinning of the copper core ensures a stable electrical connection, while the insulation enhances safety. The temperature resistance up to 105 °C allows use in environments with increased thermal stress without compromising mechanical or electrical properties.

Compatibility and accessories: The ferrule is designed for fine and extra-fine stranded conductors, particularly cables according to DIN EN 60228 class 5 and 6. Compatible accessories include other twin wire end ferrules of the same design, such as 2x0.5 mm², 8 mm long, white, galvanically tinned. These are also intended for use in terminals and enable consistent wiring. CSA listing confirms approval for use in specific markets, particularly in North America.

Installation and mounting: Installation is performed by inserting both conductors into the open side of the ferrule, ensuring they extend to the end of the metallic connection. The ferrule is then inserted into the terminal, with the 8 mm insulated section providing electrical insulation. The connection is suitable for use in enclosures, control systems, and other electrical installations where a secure and durable connection is required. The ferrule is not intended for use in open or damp environments without additional protective measures.

Operational advantages: The twin wire end ferrule 8698 provides a secure and reliable connection for fine conductors, with insulation and colour coding simplifying installation and enhancing safety. The tinning ensures stable electrical conductivity, while temperature resistance up to 105 °C enables use in demanding environments. CSA listing expands its application in international markets. The ferrule is available in a pack of 1000 pieces, making it suitable for large projects and series installations.

The ferrule is specifically designed for use in electrical installations where a secure and durable connection of fine conductors is required. The combination of insulation, colour coding, temperature resistance, and galvanic tinning makes it a reliable component in electrical installations.
