Overview

The ABB FTD78-8-D Polypropylene Insulated Twin Ferrule (SKU: F8006) is a precision-engineered wire termination solution designed for high-reliability electrical connections in industrial control panels, wiring harnesses, and machinery assemblies. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, this ferrule features a seamless barrel construction that securely contains loose wire strands, eliminating stray conductors and ensuring a clean, gas-tight termination. The funnel entry design accelerates wire insertion, reducing installation time and labor costs during panel building and harness assembly. This twin ferrule is optimized for 2x16 AWG (2x1.50mm²) conductors, providing a precise fit and consistent conductivity through its tin-plated copper material. The durable black polypropylene insulation delivers reliable electrical isolation and mechanical protection in harsh environments. With a total length of 0.630 inches (16mm), a pin length of 0.315 inches (8mm), a pin diameter of 0.091 inches (2.3mm), and a base diameter of 0.252 inches (6.4mm), it is engineered for compact terminal block applications where space is limited. The recommended wire strip length of 0.315 inches (8mm) ensures proper insertion and crimping for optimal performance. Compatible with ABB’s CD-090, CT-1002, CT-1003, CT-1090, CT-1160, CT-1170, CT-1123, and CT-2523CH crimping tools, the FTD78-8-D guarantees consistent, repeatable terminations across production runs. Supplied in standard packages of 500 units, it supports both small-scale prototyping and high-volume manufacturing. Ideal for applications requiring dependable wire termination in control systems, automation equipment, and industrial electrical installations.
