Purpose-built ferrules for 18 AWG wiring

This pack of 500 Panduit ferrules is designed for terminating single-conductor 18 AWG wire in generator and electrical-supply applications. The copper barrel is tin-plated for corrosion resistance and the red polypropylene insulation provides quick visual identification. Each ferrule meets CSA C 22.2 No. 291-14, DIN 46228 and UL 486F standards for reliable crimp connections.

Rated to 221 °F with secure crimp termination

The ferrules withstand a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees Fahrenheit, suitable for the heat found in generator compartments and electrical enclosures. A crimp termination style creates a gas-tight mechanical bond without solder, keeping resistance low and preventing loosening from vibration. The tin-plated copper barrel and contact ensure stable conductivity over the service life.

Red polypropylene insulation aids daily

The 3/8-inch insertion length and 0.07-inch ferrule diameter fit standard terminal blocks used in generator maintenance, while the 0.12-inch barrel diameter and 0.25-inch barrel length provide ample crimp area. Red insulation colour-codes the 18 AWG size so technicians can select the correct ferrule at a glance. The pack of 500 pieces supports high-volume panel building without frequent re-ordering.

Questions about this item

How do I crimp the 0.12 in barrel on 18 AWG wire and what step is often missed?

Strip to the 3/8 in insertion length, insert fully so insulation meets the barrel, then crimp with a die matched to 18 AWG; the missed step is verifying full insertion before crimping.

Will the red polypropylene insulation need replacement from heat or age?

The insulation is rated to 221 °F; under normal crimped connections it does not require scheduled replacement unless physical damage or discoloration appears.

At what point does the tin-plated copper barrel become the limiting factor during sustained load?

The barrel is rated to the same 221 °F maximum operating temperature as the insulation, so sustained current that raises the joint above that limit will degrade the tin finish first.
