Bootlace ferrules are small, cylindrical tubes that are used to improve the electrical connection between a wire and a connector. They are made of copper or brass and have a narrow end that is crimped to fit the connector. The wider end of the ferrule is then wrapped around the stripped end of the wire. This helps to create a more secure and reliable connection, which is especially important in high-current applications.
