About Bootlace Ferrules — Why Use Them

A bootlace ferrule (also called a pin ferrule or end sleeve) is crimped onto the end of a stranded conductor before insertion into a screw terminal block. Without a ferrule, the individual strands of a stranded conductor can splay, break off, or work loose from a screw terminal over time — reducing contact reliability and creating the risk of stray strands causing short circuits or poor connections. The crimped ferrule consolidates all conductor strands into a single rigid pin that inserts cleanly and securely into the terminal, and stays secure under vibration and repeated terminal cycling.

The BL040L is the long-pin version of the BL040 — both suit 4.0mm² conductors with the same orange collar colour code, but the BL040L provides a 12mm pin versus the 10mm pin of the BL040. The longer pin suits deeper terminal blocks, large DIN rail terminals, and any application where extra pin insertion depth improves connection security or is required by the terminal manufacturer's specification.

The BL040L uses halogen free, flame retardant nylon insulation — meeting the increasing requirement for halogen free materials in modern installations. Orange is the standard collar colour for 4.0mm² ferrules within the DIN 46228/4 colour coding system.

Q: What is the difference between BL040 and BL040L?
A: Both suit 4.0mm² conductors with an orange collar. The BL040 has a 10mm pin; the BL040L has a 12mm pin. Select based on the depth of the terminal block being used.

Q: What wire size does the BL040L suit?
A: The BL040L suits 4.0mm² stranded conductors — used in power wiring, motor control, and heavier duty switchboard and automation applications.

Q: Is the BL040L halogen free?
A: Yes — the BL040L uses halogen free, flame retardant nylon insulation. It conforms to RoHS and REACH.

Q: What tool is required to crimp the BL040L?
A: A standard bootlace ferrule ratchet crimping tool is required. The tool must have a die set that accommodates 4.0mm² ferrules.

Q: How many ferrules are in a pack?
A: The BL040L is sold in a pack of 100 ferrules.
