Aluminum Ferrules (Our Base) | General electrical wiring, low-corrosion environments | - Aluminum (1050 grade, 150 MPa tensile strength▲ (ISO 6892-1)) - Double-hole design (500N grip strength) | Lightweight (2.7 g/cm³), cost-effective, easy installation | Moderate corrosion resistance (200 hours salt spray test▲ (ASTM B117)) |
Stainless Steel Ferrules (Industry Standard) | Harsh industrial environments (e.g., marine, chemical plants) | - 304 Stainless Steel (500 MPa tensile strength) - Passivation coating (ASTM A967) | High corrosion resistance (1000+ hours salt spray test), durable | Heavy (8.0 g/cm³), higher cost, requires specialized tools for crimping |
Plastic Cable Ties (Industry Standard) | Temporary wiring, lightweight applications | - Polypropylene (PP) (25 MPa tensile strength) - UV-resistant coating (ASTM D4329) | Inexpensive, flexible, color-coded for organization | Brittle in extreme temperatures, low load capacity (max 100N), degrade over time |
Aluminum Ferrules (Our Advanced) | High-vibration machinery, outdoor installations | - 6061-T6 Aluminum (240 MPa tensile strength▲▲) - Anodized coating (Class II, 12 µm thickness) | Enhanced corrosion resistance (500+ hours salt spray test), load-bearing | Slightly heavier than Base model, requires precision crimping tools |
Zinc-Plated Steel Clips (Industry Standard) | Automotive, HVAC systems | - Galvanized steel (400 MPa tensile strength) - Zinc coating (ASTM A153) | High strength-to-weight ratio, resistant to mechanical stress | Zinc coating may corrode in acidic environments, prone to rust over time |
Brass Ferrules (Niche Application) | High-end electronics, aesthetic projects | - Brass (C26000, 340 MPa tensile strength) - Polished finish (ASTM B265) | Aesthetic appeal, excellent conductivity, corrosion-resistant in dry conditions | Expensive, heavy (8.5 g/cm³), not suitable for high-vibration use |
