What is a Bootlace Ferrule?

These bootlace ferrules are moulded with a colour-coded insulating collar which is made up of plastic. The ferrule is slipped over the end of a multi-stranded wire or cable, crimped and then inserted into a screw or spring clamp connection. When a multi-stranded wire has been stripped and placed under a screw terminal, the strands of wire will naturally fan out because of the pressure of the screw, with some of the strands going completely astray - this dramatically reduces the quality of an electrical connection, it could also result in an electrical short. This is when a bootlace ferrule can comes in to play, their flared design and insulated funnel restricts all the fanned-out strands. Once a bootlace ferrule has been applied, it is then crimped together with a crimp tool and inserted into a terminal to create the electrical connection.
