Hi Everyone,
I have recently updated the ferule chapter in the Wiring Unlimited book, see the Electrical Connection chapter.
I know that ferrules remain a topic of discussion, and many people have their own vision on them. The main rule is to ALWAYS use a correct crimping tool to achieve a “gas tight” crimp and the electrical terminal needs to be suitable for ferrule use. Actually, many terminals are suitable for ferrules, more than you might think. To check consult the terminal manufacturer’s specification sheet. And then (of course) always follow the Victron manuals in regards of ferule use and apply the correct torque when tightening the terminal.
