Sofamel Insulated Hollow Ferrule 16 mm² APF-16,00/12 Ivory

Product Description

The Sofamel Insulated Hollow Ferrule 16 mm² APF-16,00/12 Ivory provides a professional termination for large cross-section stranded conductors. Its electrolytic copper capillary tube with tinned finish offers a very large contact surface, reducing resistance and heating at the connection point, while the nylon (PA) insulating collar guides the wire bundle and protects the crimp from vibrations. The /12 format (L1 12 mm) allows for deep insertions in power terminals and ensures stable crimping in continuous service. The ivory color helps to identify the gauge at a glance, improving order and traceability of wiring.

Main Features

• Nominal cross-section: 16 mm² for stranded conductor.
• Capillary tube made of tinned copper with low resistivity and anti-corrosion protection.
• Injected nylon PA insulation: high dielectric strength and mechanical resistance.
• Ferrule length: L1 = 12 mm (/12 format) for deep terminals.
• Color code: ivory for quick gauge identification.
• Uniform crimping prevents loose wires and hot spots under full load.

Advantages or Benefits

• Very stable electrical and mechanical connections in high-current applications.
• Lower voltage drop and better thermal dissipation thanks to optimized metal contact.
• Faster, cleaner, and standardized assembly in professional panel building.
• Facilitates inspections, maintenance, and expansions due to color coding.
• High-quality finish that improves the overall aesthetics and reliability of the panel.

Purpose or Applications

Recommended for distribution and power panels, industrial machinery, frequency converters, contactors and distribution bars, renewable energy systems, UPS, and chargers. Ideal when terminating 16 mm² conductors in deep power terminals is required.
