Twin Insulated Bootlace Wire Crimp Ferrule End Terminal Lug-Grey-1.5 sqmm (TE1512)

Specifications

• Model Number: TE1512
• Terminal Type: Twin insulated bootlace ferrule (cord end terminal)
• Wire Size Capacity: 2× 1.5 mm² (2× 16 AWG)
• Contact Pin Length : 12.0 mm
• Conductor Material: High-conductivity electrolytic copper
• Surface Plating: Electro-tin plated
• Insulation Material: Flame-retardant PVC

Safety Warnings

• Never crimp solid-core copper wire inside this ferrule; solid wire cannot compress evenly within the barrel, causing loose physical clamping and high contact resistance.
• Ensure outer wire insulation does not extend inside the copper barrel; crimping over plastic insulation prevents direct copper-to-copper contact and creates high-resistance fire hazards under continuous electrical load.

Accessories Included in the Box

• 1× TE1512 Twin Insulated Bootlace Wire Crimp Ferrule End Terminal Lug (Grey)

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can the TE1512 connect two 1.5 mm² wires to a single terminal?
  Yes. The TE1512 accommodates two stranded conductors of 1.5 mm² each, allowing them to be crimped into one ferrule for insertion into a compatible terminal.
• What is the difference between TE1508 and TE1512?
  Both models accommodate two 1.5 mm² wires, but the TE1508 has an 8 mm pin length, while the TE1512 has a 12 mm pin length. Choose according to the terminal's required insertion depth.
• How do I choose the correct crimping tool for the TE1512?
  Use a ferrule crimping tool with a die suitable for twin ferrules holding 2 × 1.5 mm² conductors. The finished crimp should securely hold both wires without loose strands or damage to the insulation.
• Can I use the TE1512 to join two wires of different sizes?
  It is intended for two conductors matching its specified capacity of 1.5 mm² each. Do not combine different wire sizes unless the ferrule and terminal manufacturers explicitly permit that combination.
• Why use a TE1512 instead of inserting two bare wires into one terminal?
  The ferrule keeps the stranded conductors together and provides a compact, crimped termination. This helps prevent loose strands and makes wiring neater when the terminal is designed to accept a twin ferrule.
• Does the 12 mm pin length mean I should strip the wires by 12 mm?
  The 12 mm dimension refers to the ferrule's metal pin length. Strip each conductor according to the ferrule barrel and the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the strands are fully inserted without excessive exposed copper.
• Can the TE1512 be used for control panels and industrial wiring?
  Yes. It is suitable for compatible control-panel wiring, PLC connections, and machinery wiring where two stranded conductors need to terminate at one connection point. The terminal and circuit must be rated for the application.
