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.

At 16.0mm², the BL160L is suited to the heavier end of power wiring applications — main distribution board connections, large motor terminations, heavy switchboard feeders, and industrial power distribution terminals. The 18mm pin length provides sufficient insertion depth for the large DIN rail screw terminal blocks typically used at this cable size. The BL160L uses halogen free, flame retardant nylon insulation — meeting the increasing requirement for halogen free materials in modern installations.

Ivory is the standard collar colour for 16.0mm² ferrules within the DIN 46228/4 colour coding system. The BL160L conforms to DIN 46228/4 and is supplied by Pacific Components — an Australian distributor of quality electrical components. A heavy duty ratchet crimping tool with a die set accommodating 16.0mm² ferrules is required for correct crimping.

Q: What wire size does the BL160L suit?
A: The BL160L suits 16.0mm² stranded conductors — used in main distribution boards, large motor terminations, heavy switchboard feeders, and industrial power distribution.

Q: What is the pin length of the BL160L?
A: The BL160L has an 18mm pin length — suited to the deeper DIN rail screw terminal blocks typically used with 16.0mm² cable.

Q: Is the BL160L halogen free?
A: Yes — the BL160L uses halogen free, flame retardant nylon insulation. It conforms to RoHS and REACH.

Q: What tool is required to crimp the BL160L?
A: A heavy duty bootlace ferrule ratchet crimping tool is required. The tool must have a die set that accommodates 16.0mm² ferrules.

Q: How many ferrules are in a pack?
A: The BL160L is sold in a pack of 100 ferrules.
