Double Insulated Hollow Ferrule Sofamel 6 mm² APF/D-6.00D Yellow

Product Description

The Sofamel Double Insulated Hollow Ferrule 6 mm² APF/D-6,00D Yellow is a professional terminal designed to group and terminate two 6 mm² stranded conductors in a single compact, secure, and standardized connection. Its electrolytic copper sleeve with tin plating ensures stable current conduction, with low contact resistance and excellent protection against corrosion. The nylon (PA) cup provides rigidity, insulation, and guidance for the wire bundle, facilitating insertion into screw or spring terminals without damaging the conductor. It is the preferred choice for panel builders and automation technicians when electrical reliability, assembly repeatability, and clean wiring are essential.

Main Features

• Nominal section: 6 mm² per conductor (twin wire ferrule/double conductor).
• Tinned copper sleeve for lower voltage drop and anti-corrosion protection.
• Insulation in high-rigidity, impact-resistant injected nylon PA.
• Color code: yellow for immediate visual identification of the gauge.
• Uniform crimping prevents loose strands and hot spots during continuous operation.
• Approximate dimensions: L ≈ 19–21 mm; L1 ≈ 12–13 mm; D1 ≈ 8.0–8.6 mm; D2 ≈ 4.8–5.2 mm; Øi ≈ 3.6–3.9 mm.

Advantages or Benefits

• Safer and more durable connection compared to terminations without ferrules or with poor crimping.
• Optimizes current flow and reduces contact losses thanks to tinned copper.
• Speeds up assembly and standardization of the panel, reducing errors and rework.
• Facilitates inspections, maintenance, and future expansions thanks to color coding.
• Professional finish that improves the aesthetics and traceability of wiring in electrical cabinets.

Purpose or Applications

Recommended for advanced residential, commercial, and industrial panels; automation, distribution, and control cabinets; connections to contactors, relays, protectors, and power supplies; instrumentation and PLC. It is ideal when two 6 mm² cables need to be connected to the same terminal, ensuring mechanical and electrical reliability.

Technical Specifications

Compatibilities

Compatible with crimping pliers for ferrules (square or hexagonal profile, depending on the tool), standard screw and spring terminals, and DIN terminal blocks. For fine stranded conductors of 6 mm².

The Sofamel Double Insulated Hollow Ferrule 6 mm² APF/D-6,00D Yellow ensures solid, organized, and stable connections, providing quality and durability for demanding electrical installations.
