Cord End Terminals
Cord end terminals, also recognized as wire end sleeves or ferrule connectors, are simple copper barrel (with or without insulations) that are crimped onto the ends of electrical wires. These terminals are easy to apply and can provide a reliable connections to any screw down or plug in terminal blocks or electrical devices. These terminals are versatile, having been employ across the industry from Automotive, Electrical, Industrial Machinery, Electronics and Telecommunications, to Home Appliances.
KST carries a variety of Cord End, featuring non insulated “EN” series, insulated “E” series, insulated twin cord “TE” series, in different gauge (AWG), lengths, and insulations colors. Let’s analysis the various option and utilization of the different ferrules.
Non-Insulated Cord End "EN"
Non-Insulated Cord Ends feature a straightforward tubular design, ideal for use in confined spaces where bulky insulation can pose challenges during installation.
These terminals are a simple tubular design, usually found in applications where there is confined spaces. Sometimes the insulation is too bulky creating difficulty during installation.

Insulated Cord End "E"
This Cord End has a nylon insulated sleeve that will provide additional protective layer to reduce accidental contact risk with live wires, lessening chances of electric shock or short circuits.
Insulated Twin Cord End "TE"
The Twin Cord End are specifically designed to terminate two or more wires simultaneously. This duo wire feature simplify the process of making multiple wire connections, significantly reducing both installation time and complexity.
Features
- Prevents Flaying: Cord End acts as a funnel, feeding the wires into copper tube, and preventing them from flaying or splitting during crimping. The compact wire terminations create more stable and durable connections, reducing the likelihood of connection failures.
- Identification & Organization: Insulated terminals are color-coded to facilitate the identification and differentiation of wires within electrical systems. This effective organization and identification greatly enhance the efficiency of maintenance, troubleshooting, and modifications.
- Safety Protection: Insulation offers extra protection by covering the exposed wires, preventing accidental live wires contact, and reducing the risk of injuries. Insulated terminals are particularly important in environments with frequent human interaction and where safety is of the utmost importance.
- Compliance: Adhering to industry standards and regulations is crucial for ensuring the safety, reliability, and quality of our cord end terminals. Our commitment to UL486A, UL486F certifications, and DIN 42668 compliance guarantees that our products meet the highest safety and performance criteria.
