Power distribution units (PDUs) manage and distribute electricity across multiple devices in a system, and they are commonly used in data centers and industrial panels. While basic PDUs lack remote monitoring features, their role in safely delivering power remains critical — which makes connection reliability a top priority.
One common challenge in these setups is how stranded wires are connected. Stranded wires are flexible and easy to work with, but when inserted directly into screw terminals without support, their strands can spread or break, leading to weak connections or even short circuits—especially in environments with heat and vibration.
American Electrical engineered a simple, effective solution: the 1181025 insulated ferrule. This small metal sleeve is crimped onto the end of a stranded wire to hold all the strands together. It ensures a secure fit into terminals, a solid electrical connection, and consistent torque without damaging the wire.
How the American Electrical 1181025 Helps Your Power Connections
The 1181025 insulated ferrule is designed to make your wire terminations safer, cleaner, and more reliable. Here’s how it solves common wiring problems:
- Stronger Connections
It holds all wire strands tightly together, creating one solid point of contact. This helps prevent loose strands, short circuits, and poor conductivity. - Built to Last
Made with tin-plated copper, it resists corrosion and keeps a strong electrical connection over time — even in hot or humid conditions. - Easy to Crimp
With its 8mm crimp length, it fits perfectly in automated crimping tools. Great for high-speed production where precision and consistency matter. - Secure and Safe Fit
The nylon insulation sleeve adds extra protection and grip, helping the wire stay in place even with vibration or movement. - Globally Approved
Meets UL, CE, and RoHS standards, making it ready for international projects without compliance worries.
Smarter Terminations = More Reliable Power Distribution.
Don’t let a simple connection become your weakest link. Integrate the American Electrical 1181025 ferrule into your design and give your PDU the professional-grade reliability it deserves.
