About Uninsulated Bootlace Ferrules

An uninsulated bootlace ferrule (also called an uninsulated end sleeve or cord end terminal) is a bare copper sleeve crimped onto the end of a stranded conductor — serving the same purpose as an insulated ferrule but without the plastic collar. The sleeve consolidates all conductor strands into a single rigid pin that inserts cleanly and securely into a screw terminal, preventing strand splaying, strand breakage under the screw, and stray strands that can cause short circuits.

Uninsulated ferrules have a lower overall profile than insulated ferrules — the absence of the plastic collar means the ferrule body is thinner and shorter at the terminal entry point. This makes them suited to space-restricted terminal blocks where an insulated collar would not fit within the terminal opening, or to installations where colour-coded insulation is not required or where terminal manufacturers specify uninsulated ferrules.

The UBL040 conforms to DIN 46228/1 — the DIN standard for uninsulated wire end ferrules — and is supplied by Pacific Components. A standard bootlace ferrule crimping tool is required; the tool die must accommodate 4.0mm² uninsulated ferrules.

Q: What is the difference between an insulated and uninsulated bootlace ferrule?
A: An insulated ferrule (such as BL040) has a plastic colour-coded collar that provides wire size identification and conductor protection at the entry point. An uninsulated ferrule (UBL040) is a bare copper sleeve with no collar — lower profile and suited to space-restricted terminals or installations where insulation colour coding is not required.

Q: What wire size does the UBL040 suit?
A: The UBL040 suits 4.0mm² stranded conductors — used in power wiring, motor control, and heavier duty switchboard and automation applications.

Q: What tool is required to crimp the UBL040?
A: A standard bootlace ferrule ratchet crimping tool is required. The tool must have a die set that accommodates 4.0mm² uninsulated ferrules.

Q: How many ferrules are in a pack?
A: The UBL040 is sold in a pack of 100 ferrules.
