Why Choose the Partex CEF02508F-C 0.25 mm² Violet Insulated Cord End Ferrule?
The Partex CEF02508F-C is a single insulated cord end ferrule specified for terminating 0.25 mm² flexible stranded copper conductors. Featuring violet insulation and supplied in a convenient pack of 100, this compact bootlace ferrule is designed for professional cable preparation in electrical control panels, automation equipment and instrumentation systems.
Insulated cord end ferrules provide a neat termination for fine-stranded conductors by enclosing the exposed wire strands within a conductive metal sleeve. This helps prevent stray strands and reduces the risk of conductor damage when connecting cables to compatible screw-clamp or spring-clamp terminal blocks.
The product is specified with an 8 mm barrel length and violet French-type colour coding. Partex's published standard CEF025F catalogue entry, however, lists a 6 mm barrel for the 0.25 mm² violet ferrule. The exact 8 mm variant should therefore be confirmed against the supplied product before installation where barrel length is critical.

Reliable Termination for Fine-Stranded Control and Signal Wiring
Fine-stranded copper cables are commonly used in PLC systems, instrumentation and electrical control equipment because they offer flexibility in compact wiring installations. However, individual strands may separate when inserted directly into certain electrical terminals. The Partex CEF02508F-C 0.25 mm² insulated cord end ferrule is designed to keep the conductor strands together inside a conductive crimp sleeve.
During installation, the conductor insulation is stripped to the appropriate length and the exposed strands are inserted into the ferrule barrel. A compatible crimping tool compresses the sleeve around the conductor, producing a compact termination ready for insertion into a suitable terminal block. The violet insulated collar helps guide the conductor and provides a neat transition between the cable insulation and metal sleeve.
Correct barrel length is important when selecting ferrules for terminals with specific insertion depths. Although this product is described as an 8 mm barrel variant, the standard Partex CEF025F catalogue specification is 6 mm. Installers should verify the supplied ferrule dimensions and terminal compatibility before use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Partex CEF02508F-C cord end ferrule used for?
The Partex CEF02508F-C is specified for terminating 0.25 mm² flexible stranded copper conductors before insertion into compatible electrical terminal blocks. It helps prevent stray strands and provides a neat crimp termination for control and signal wiring.
What cable size does the Partex CEF02508F-C support?
The ferrule is designed for a nominal conductor cross-section of 0.25 mm². A compatible crimping tool and suitable terminal block should be used.
Does the Partex CEF02508F-C have an 8 mm barrel?
This product is specified with an 8 mm barrel, but the manufacturer's published standard CEF025F specification lists a 6 mm barrel. The exact barrel length should be checked against the supplied product before installation.
Why is the ferrule insulation violet?
The violet collar follows the French-type colour coding convention for 0.25 mm² insulated cord end ferrules, helping installers identify the correct conductor size.
What materials are used in Partex CEF insulated ferrules?
The Partex CEF range uses tin-coated high-conductivity copper sleeves with Polyamide 66 insulation. These materials provide a conductive crimp barrel and a durable insulated conductor entry.
How are Partex insulated bootlace ferrules installed?
Strip the conductor insulation to the appropriate length, insert the strands fully into the ferrule and crimp using a tool suitable for 0.25 mm² ferrules. Insert the finished termination into a compatible terminal according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
What is the difference between a single and twin cord end ferrule?
A single cord end ferrule terminates one conductor. A twin cord end ferrule is designed to accommodate two compatible conductors within one crimp termination.
How many Partex CEF02508F-C ferrules are supplied?
This product is specified as a pack of 100 violet insulated 0.25 mm² single cord end ferrules, suitable for professional electrical installation, panel building and maintenance.
