8020126 Cembre PKE1612-UK INSULATED END SLEEVE (WHITE)
Cembre 8020126 PKE1612-UK/PK is a white PA6 insulated tin-plated copper bootlace ferrule supplied in a pack of 100 for professional termination of stranded electrical conductors.
Why Choose the Cembre 8020126 PKE1612-UK/PK Insulated End Sleeve?
The Cembre 8020126, also identified as PKE1612-UK/PK, is a professional white insulated bootlace ferrule / end sleeve designed to reinforce fine wire strands when terminating stranded conductors into connector blocks and terminals. It combines a tin-plated electrolytic copper tube with a PA6 polyamide insulating sleeve for dependable electrical termination in control panels, machinery and industrial installations.
As part of the Cembre PKE insulated end sleeve range, the PKE1612-UK/PK is manufactured from electrolytic copper with a purity greater than 99.9% and incorporates a tin-plated finish with a minimum thickness of 3 µm. The ferrule helps contain individual conductor strands, providing an organised termination before the conductor is secured within a compatible terminal or connector.
The Cembre 8020126 features white PA6 polyamide insulation, an overall length of 23 mm and a sleeve length of 12 mm. It is supplied in a pack of 100, making it suitable for panel building, production wiring, electrical maintenance and other applications involving repeated stranded-conductor terminations.
Key Advantages
- Professional insulated bootlace ferrule for stranded conductors.
- Designed to reinforce fine wire strands when terminating cables into connector blocks.

Reliable Termination of Stranded Conductors
Insulated end sleeves are fitted over the stripped ends of stranded electrical conductors before termination. Crimping the ferrule consolidates the individual strands into a defined termination, helping prevent stray strands and providing a convenient interface when inserting the conductor into compatible terminal blocks and electrical connectors.
The Cembre PKE range combines a tin-plated copper ferrule with an insulating PA6 sleeve. This construction makes the 8020126 suitable for repetitive professional wiring tasks in control cabinets, switchgear, machinery and other electrical equipment where stranded conductors require organised and consistent termination.
Typical Applications
- Electrical control panel wiring.
- Terminal block and connector terminations.
- Industrial machinery and automation systems.
- Switchgear and electrical distribution equipment.
- OEM equipment and production wiring.
- Electrical installation, maintenance and repair work.
