Sta-Kon F2038 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Sta-Kon F2038 ferrule UL recognized?
It carries UL file E489056. That is the listing reference a panel shop or inspector will want when the terminations are part of a UL-labeled control panel.
2) Is the barrel on the F2038 ferrule copper or tin-plated steel?
Copper. That matters for crimp behavior and for conductivity at the terminal block screw, and it is why these are used on stranded control wire rather than a steel-barrel substitute.
3) Will a standard ferrule crimper work on the Sta-Kon F2038, or do I need a special tool?
The F2038 is an insulated ferrule with a copper barrel and a polypropylene collar, so it crimps with a four-indent or trapezoidal ferrule crimp die sized for 4 mm2 / 12 AWG. An insulated-barrel ferrule die is required; open-barrel terminal jaws will deform the plastic collar. The tool is ordered separately.
4) Why use a ferrule like the F2038 instead of just putting bare stranded wire into a terminal block?
A ferrule bundles the strands into a solid pin, so the terminal screw clamps a single body instead of splaying strands out from under the clamp. That is what keeps stray strands out of the adjacent terminal and keeps the connection from loosening as the strands relax. The F2038 covers 12 AWG / 4 mm2 stranded conductor, and the polypropylene collar also acts as a strain relief at the insulation edge.
5) What color is the insulation on the 12 AWG Sta-Kon ferrule, and does the color mean anything?
Grey. On insulated ferrules the collar color is the size code, so grey is what identifies this one as the 12 AWG / 4 mm2 ferrule on a crowded wiring bench. If the other ferrules in your kit use a different color convention for 4 mm2, label the bin rather than trusting color alone.
6) Where is the Sta-Kon F2038 ferrule made?
Germany. For public-agency and institutional purchasing that needs country of origin documented on the submittal, the F2038 ferrule is declared DE.
