Insulated Double Hollow Ferrule Sofamel 16 mm² APF/D-16,00D Blue

Product Description

The Sofamel 16 mm² APF/D-16,00D Blue Insulated Double Hollow Ferrule is designed to consolidate two large-section stranded conductors into a single clean, safe termination with very low contact resistance. Its electrolytic copper sleeve with tin plating ensures high conductivity and corrosion protection, while the nylon (PA) cup provides insulation, rigidity, and precise guidance of the wire bundle, allowing firm insertions into screw or spring terminals. It is a professional solution for panel building and automation where maximum mechanical and electrical reliability is required at high currents, maintaining order and aesthetics in the panel.

Main Features

• Nominal section: 16 mm² per conductor (twin wire ferrule for double cable).
• Tinned copper sleeve reduces contact resistance and prevents oxidation.
• Injected nylon PA insulation: high rigidity, good grip, and excellent guidance.
• Color code: blue for quick gauge identification.
• Uniform crimping prevents loose strands and hot spots under full load.
• Approximate dimensions: L ≈ 24–26 mm; L1 ≈ 16–17 mm; D1 ≈ 11.0–12.0 mm; D2 ≈ 7.2–7.8 mm; Øi ≈ 5.6–6.0 mm.

Advantages or Benefits

• Very stable connections under high currents and demanding thermal cycles.
• Lower voltage drop and less heating thanks to the large metallic contact area.
• Faster and standardized assembly: reduces errors, rework, and downtime.
• Color coding speeds up inspections, expansions, and preventive maintenance.
• Professional finish improves the perceived quality of the panel and cable traceability.

Purpose or Applications

Suitable for distribution and power panels, industrial cabinets, machinery, frequency converters, high-current contactors, distribution bars, UPS, chargers, renewable energy, and control systems where it is necessary to bring two 16 mm² cables to the same terminal while maintaining electrical and mechanical integrity.

Technical Specifications

Compatibilities

Compatible with crimping pliers for large-section ferrules (square or hexagonal profile, depending on the tool), power screw and spring terminals, DIN terminal blocks, and industrial connectors. Suitable for fine stranded 16 mm² conductors.

The Sofamel 16 mm² APF/D-16,00D Blue Insulated Double Hollow Ferrule provides the level of safety, order, and electrical performance required by professional installations subject to high current demand and continuous service.
