Weidmüller Ferrule and Crimper Connection
We are pleased to announce that the Weidmuller ferrule and crimper connection is UL certified. The single conductor, wire-end ferrules with insulated plastic collars that are processed by Weidmuller tools are now certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), in accordance with UL standard 486A. This new certification will be added to the existing CSA-US, DIN/VDE and VG certifications, allowing greater access to global projects with stringent requirements to standards.
It’s important to note the individual components have not been certified, but rather the connection as a whole. Complying with UL recommendations for ferrule crimping, the Weidmuller ferrules were tested after being crimped to a wire using Weidmuller hand tools and automatic wire processing machines. The Weidmuller ferrule and crimper connection is UL certified in accordance with UL 486A when they are used together.
The Weidmuller ferrules are those with insulated plastic collars for cross-sections ranging from 0.25mm² to 50.0mm² (AWG 26-1), with the exception of 35.0mm² (AWG 2). All three ferrule color codes; the Weidmuller, DIN, and “other” color codes, have passed the UL testing process and are listed in the UL Certifications Directory under file “Weidmuller – E354986”.
The Weidmuller hand tools utilized are the types PZ 4, PZ 6/5, PZ3, PZ 6 Roto, PZ 16 for wire-end ferrules with plastic collars as well as automatic Crimpex series strippers and crimpers as well as the automatic stripper and crimper CA 100.
SCS offers a comprehensive assortment of ferrules with plastic collars (insulated) and also without plastic collars (non-insulated) for nominal cross-sections ranging from 0.14mm² to 50.0mm² (AWG26-0).
SCS also offers the complete line of precision Weidmuller wire preparation tools, such as: cable and wire cutting tools, insulation strippers, ferrule and lug crimpers, pliers, screwdrivers, and more.

The Weidmuller ferrule and crimper connection is UL certified in accordance with UL 486A is another example of how Weidmuller continues to develop innovative, sustainable and useful products that set standards in Industrial Connectivity while continually working toward providing solutions for the technology challenges of tomorrow.
