Insulated Hollow Ferrule Sofamel 10 mm² APF-10,00/12 Brown

Product Description

The Sofamel Insulated Hollow Ferrule 10 mm² APF-10,00/12 Brown is designed to terminate 10 mm² stranded conductors with a robust, low-resistance, and highly durable connection. The electrolytic copper sleeve with tin plating ensures a large contact surface and protection against oxidation, while the nylon (PA) skirt of 12 mm (format /12) guides the wire bundle and improves insertion into deep terminals, preventing pinching and damage. The brown color immediately identifies the gauge, speeding up assembly and maintenance in demanding panel work.

Main Features

• Nominal section: 10 mm² for stranded conductor.
• Tinned copper tube with low resistivity and high corrosion resistance.
• Injected nylon PA insulation for firm guidance and dielectric safety.
• Format /12: L1 = 12 mm for deep terminals and secure tightening.
• Color code: brown for immediate gauge identification.
• Uniform crimping prevents loose wires and hot spots under full load.

Advantages or Benefits

• Very reliable electrical and mechanical connection in higher current applications.
• Lower voltage drop and better thermal stability due to optimized metal contact.
• Quick and standardized assembly reduces errors and rework.
• Color coding facilitates inspections and future expansions.
• Professional finish improves the order and aesthetics of the electrical panel.

Purpose or Applications

Ideal for high-demand residential panels, commercial and industrial panels; distribution and control; variable speed drives, contactors, power relays, UPS, and automation equipment. Recommended for terminating 10 mm² conductors in terminals with higher mechanical and thermal requirements.
