The E2518-BLUE is a Wire Ferrule Terminal made of copper with 0.3μ tin plated finish and blue nylon shroud. The Bootlace ferrule accepts 14AWG wire. The E series terminal is designed to provide a neat end termination to multi-stranded wires. Also designed to provide a secure connection to terminal blocks and captive terminals and stop wire strands short-circuiting to adjacent connectors. The crimping is achieved by the action of the screw in the connector or by use of a dedicated crimping tool.
