Description
Upgrade your control panels and wiring harnesses with the Panduit Electric Wire Ferrule set. This 500-count gray ferrule pack is designed to deliver reliable, durable, and professional-grade electrical terminations for stranded wires. Built with a rugged polypropylene outer shell and copper internal contacts, these ferrules resist wear, corrosion, and environmental stress while presenting a clean, organized wiring appearance. Ideal for automation, panel builders, and electrical installations, this Panduit ferrule collection helps ensure consistent crimping results, reduces wire fraying, and enables safer, more efficient electrical connections across your projects. Whether you’re assembling mass deployments for manufacturing lines or maintaining service levels in critical control systems, these ferrules support repeatable, code-compliant terminations that stand up to vibration, temperature variations, and routine maintenance.
- Reliable electrical termination — Panduit ferrules provide a stable, low-impedance connection for stranded wires, reducing the risk of loose connections and arcing in electrical panels, switchgear, and control systems. The copper contact inside and precise crimp feature deliver consistent contact pressure across temperatures and vibration, promoting long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments. By ensuring the conductor remains neatly contained, ferrules minimize conductor oxidation at the terminal and support uniform torque when securing into terminal blocks, terminal strips, and relay bases. This makes them an ideal choice for automation projects, motor control centers, and distributed control architectures where predictable performance matters.
- Color-coded identification — The distinctive gray ferrule color offers quick wire-size and circuit identification, speeding up assembly, testing, and maintenance in complex harnesses and automated panels. By standardizing ferrule colors, technicians can reduce mis-wiring and improve traceability during diagnostics and QA checks. The color also helps teams document wiring diagrams, audits, and change management, while simplifying repetitive wiring tasks in high-volume production environments. This visual cue reinforces consistent wiring practices across shifts and facilities, contributing to safer, more efficient operations.
- Durable, high-quality materials — The outer polypropylene shell protects the copper contact, delivering excellent resistance to impact, abrasion, and environmental exposure such as dust, humidity, and chemical splashes common in shop floors and production lines. The polypropylene is tough yet lightweight, enabling easy handling during pre-assembly and automated crimping. The internal copper contact provides reliable conductivity and is designed to maintain surface integrity after crimping, supporting consistent current transfer even after repeated maintenance cycles or re-wiring tasks. This combination yields long service life in industrial settings and reduces replacement costs over time.
- Prevents strand fraying and misalignment — The ferrule design securely crimps the wire end, keeping strands neatly contained within the copper contact portion. This reduces strand escape, improves termination integrity, and minimizes maintenance time caused by stray strands that can cause intermittent connections or short circuits. By delivering a uniform termination profile, ferrules promote consistent insertion into terminal blocks and plug-in connectors, speeding up assembly and reducing the chance of damage to insulation or conductor during handling. In automation panels where space is tight and connections are numerous, the orderly presentation of ferrules supports easier inspection and safer maintenance routines.
- Cost-effective bulk supply — With 500 ferrules per pack, this Panduit set provides a robust stock for large projects, repetitive builds, or ongoing maintenance programs. Bulk packaging helps keep production lines running, reduces replacement delays, and supports standardized termination practices across teams and facilities. The gray color coding reduces errors, while the polypropylene/copper construction minimizes the risk of frequent replacements due to wear and corrosion. For contract manufacturers, panel builders, and industrial integrators, a single pack can service multiple builds, training cycles, and long-cycle maintenance schedules without frequent reordering or stockouts.

How to install Panduit Electric Wire Ferrule
- Prepare the wire — Ensure power is disconnected and the wire is clean. Strip the insulation from the stranded wire to expose an appropriate length of conductor, ensuring the strands are neatly aligned and not nicked.
- Choose the correct ferrule size — Select a gray ferrule that matches the gauge or wire size specified for your application and terminal block, ensuring a snug fit.
- Insert the wire into the ferrule — Push the stripped wire into the ferrule until it is fully seated, with all strands contained inside the copper contact portion.
- Crimp with the proper tool — Use a compatible crimping tool and the correct die set for ferrule termination. Apply even, firm pressure to create a solid crimp that binds the wire to the ferrule body without crushing the ferrule.
- Inspect the termination — Visually inspect the crimp to ensure a secure and uniform termination with no loose strands, and verify that the ferrule is properly seated in the terminal block or lug.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a wire ferrule? A wire ferrule is a small metal-plated sleeve crimped onto the end of stranded wire to provide a reliable, uniform termination that fits cleanly into terminal blocks, blocks, or PCB connections. It prevents fraying, improves current transfer, and helps ensure a safe, lasting connection in control panels and automation systems.
- What gauge wires does this pack support? This pack is designed for 2x18 AWG stranded wires, with gray ferrules sized to correspond to those wire sizes and terminal blocks used in typical automation and panel-building applications.
- How many ferrules are in each pack? 500 ferrules per pack, delivering a ready supply for large projects, recurring deployments, or ongoing maintenance without frequent reordering.
- Are Panduit ferrules suitable for automation and control panels? Yes. These ferrules are specifically designed to improve reliability, organization, and safety in automation systems, control panels, terminal strips, and wiring harnesses across industrial environments.
- Do these ferrules resist environmental exposure? The ferrule construction uses a durable polypropylene outer shell and copper internal contact designed to resist wear and environmental stress common in factory floors and harsh installations.
