Ferrule crimping - An easy way to improve reliability of electrical connections.

Crimping a bootlace ferrule to the end of a stranded conductor or fine wire is an easy way to improve the reliability of an electrical connection. In this video, we explore what can happen to conductors when you don't use a ferrule crimp.

Using a ferrule can speed up electrical installations, ensure consistency across connectors. They make life easier for electricians performing maintenance activities in the future by making it easy to remove and replace wires without damaging the conductor or retwisting strands together.

To demonstrate ferrules in this electrical tutorial we are using a Wiha ratchet ferrule crimping tool. This tool can cope with conductors from 0.08mm2 up to 16mm2. A unique feature of the Wiha crimp tool is the guide plate which is sized to allow easy handling of smaller crimp ferrules.
Comments always welcome.
