177/18

Wire Ferrules are essential elements in connectivity solutions, providing secure, safe and reliable connections and ensuring proper contact between wires and terminals. The 177/18 wire ferrules are suitable for a wide range of wiring task and applications, ranging from control panels, enclosures, industrial machinery and other automation applications.

Terminal Blocks - Accessories - Wire Ferrules

The 177/18 type wire ferrules are considered the premier choice in many industrial and commercial environments as they are designed to provide an reliable connection between terminals and wires for many types of wiring connections. The 177/18 type wire ferrule is constructed from reliable materials to fit a wide range of wire types and have a bent barrel neck that ensures they fit securely to the terminal block. This type of wire ferrule is suitable for use with solid, stranded or solid core wire with an insulation diameter of 0.14inch to 0.22inch.

Application Field

The 177/18 wire ferrule is typically used in a wide range of wiring tasks for both industrial and commercial environments. From control panels to enclosures and industrial machines, this type of terminal connection can also be used to protect wiring systems during normal operation or in emergency situations.

The 177/18 ferrule materials include brass (tin-plated and nickel-plated) and stainless steel. The Tin-plated brass material acts as a conductive material, reducing the overall electrical resistance of the connection and extending the life-span of the wire ferrule. The nickel plated material on the other hand, acts as an insulator and is well suited in high-temperature environments.

Working Principle

The working principle behind the 177/18 wire ferrule is simple and time tested. When the ferrule is in contact with the terminal block, it forms an electrical connection that ensures the required electrical signals flow freely. The connection is secure and reliable, and provides a highly reliable connection even in harsh environments such as control panels, industrial machines or anywhere else a secure connection is required.

When a wire is inserted into the ferrule, the contact between the two materials ensures the electrical connection is maintained. The shape of the wire ferrule also helps ensure the wire does not become firmly lodged in the ferrule. This means that it can be removed easily when the need arises.

The 177/18 wire ferrule is also designed to fit securely in the terminal blocks giving additional stability and reliability to the connection. The shape of the bend itself also helps maintain the connection between both parts, allowing for consistent electrical pathways.

Finally, the 177/18 has options for countersinks and anti-rotation plates, allowing the user to choose their preferred design. The addition of these two features also ensures a secure connection between the wire ferrule and the terminal block, thus reducing the chances of wires becoming loose.

Conclusion

The 177/18 wire ferrule is an essential part of any connection solution for industrial and commercial settings. This type of connection provides a reliable and secure connection, allowing for safe and reliable signal flow and power for a variety of devices. In addition, the selection of tin-plated brass and nickel-plated material, as well as the option for countersinks and anti-rotation plates, ensure the user can find the perfect solution for their needs.
