Tubular Form of a Pre-Insulated Cord End Terminal

A tubular pre-insulated terminal is designed around a cylindrical metal barrel and an insulated outer section. The conductor is inserted into the tubular portion before the terminal is compressed with a suitable crimping tool.

The tubular shape helps gather the strands at the end of a stranded wire into a defined termination point. The insulating section remains around the outside of the terminal, separating the metal connection area from the surrounding wiring.

This type of cord end terminal is part of the broader ferrule and wire-end termination category, where terminal shape and conductor size need to correspond during installation.
