Summary:An electrical coupling method for coupling an electrical conductor to a connector may provide for the elimination of pre-crimping, crimp tooling and pre-crimp UL testing certifications that go with it, and by testing standard generic ferrules in the said Dual Rated connectors, and by use of a UL approved instruction sheet, for the user to utilize generic ferrules. The may include the steps of: inserting one or more electrical conductors and an uncrimped ferrule into a connector aperture of an electrical connector, the one or more electrical conductors and uncrimped ferrule being uncoupled to each other prior to insertion into the connector aperture; and screwing a clamping screw so that preferably the clamping screw simultaneously (i) crimps the uncrimped ferrule to the first electrical conductor and (ii) secures the ferrule and first electrical conductor to the electrical connector within the connector aperture.
