Wire fraying is a common issue that can weaken connections in IEC (European)-style terminal blocks. To combat this, wire ferrules provide a reliable solution. These terminals cover stranded wires to prevent fraying and ensure a strong, stable connection, allowing stranded wire to perform similarly to solid wire. This is crucial for working with IEC terminal blocks, where connection integrity is paramount.

To use wire ferrules correctly, start by stripping the wire to the appropriate length. Slide the ferrule over the exposed wire, ensuring that the nylon casing meets the wire insulation. After positioning the ferrule, use a proper crimping tool to secure it. Correct crimping pressure is essential for creating a robust connection. For additional protection, heat shrink can be added after crimping, if desired.
