OVERVIEW

Build Better Leads with the Right Hardware

When you are building custom welding leads or repairing a damaged ground cable, the quality of your connections defines the quality of your weld. The Tweco 8-5012 Cable Ferrule is the professional's choice for terminating heavy-duty 4/0 welding cable. If you have ever struggled with frayed cable ends that won't fit into a lug, or connections that get dangerously hot after a few minutes of welding, this simple copper sleeve is the solution you need.

Designed specifically for 4/0 cable, this ferrule slides over the stripped end of your wire, holding all those hundreds of copper strands tightly together. Once in place, you crimp it down using a hammer crimper or a hydraulic tool. The result is a solid, rock-hard end that provides a perfect path for your welding current. Because it is made of high-quality copper, it matches the conductivity of your cable, ensuring that you don't lose amperage at the connection point. This means a smoother arc and less strain on your welding machine.

Don't rely on electrical tape or messy mechanical clamps that loosen over time. Using a proper ferrule like the Tweco 8-5012 ensures your leads can handle the rough environment of a shop or job site. Whether you are replacing a worn-out stinger connection or building a long extension for field work, this ferrule gives you the peace of mind that your power delivery is secure. It is a small part that makes a huge difference in the longevity and safety of your welding setup.

FAQ

The Tweco 8-5012 is designed specifically for 4/0 AWG welding cable.

It is manufactured from high-conductivity copper to ensure efficient current transfer.

Strip the cable insulation, slide the ferrule over the exposed strands, and use a crimping tool (impact or hydraulic) to compress it securely.

This ferrule is copper and is primarily designed for copper cabling. Using it on aluminum may cause galvanic corrosion; consult local electrical codes.

No, once the ferrule has been crimped onto the cable, it is permanently deformed and cannot be reused.

The internal diameter is approximately 0.656 inches, sized for 4/0 stranded cable.

No, this is the ferrule only. Lugs or connectors must be purchased separately if needed.

A ferrule prevents strand breakage, ensures a tighter crimp, and reduces resistance and heat at the connection point.
