Heat shrink Ferrules (also known as Bootlace Ferrules or Wire End Ferrules)
are insulated crimp terminals used to terminate stranded copper conductors
in terminal blocks, circuit breakers, contactors and other electrical
equipment — providing a clean, safe and professional wire termination for
panel builders and electricians across South Africa.
The heatshrink insulated collar prevents fraying of stranded wire ends,
ensures a secure crimp connection and provides colour-coded identification
for fast and accurate wiring in distribution boards, control panels,
motor control centres and switchgear assemblies.
