Sta-Kon F2031 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F2031 ferrule take?
The F2031 wire ferrule is sized for 16 AWG conductor, which is 1.5 mm2 on the metric side. If your stranded conductor is 14 AWG or 18 AWG, this is the wrong barrel size, pick the ferrule rated for that gauge instead. The crimp barrel is copper.
2) How long is the Sta-Kon F2031 ferrule?
Overall length on the F2031 is .57 inch. That dimension matters when you are figuring strip length and how much barrel sits outside the terminal block, so strip the conductor to suit the barrel rather than the full .57 inch, which includes the insulated collar.
3) Why use an insulated ferrule instead of just landing bare stranded wire in a terminal block?
A ferrule gathers the strands into a single solid pin so the terminal screw cannot splay or shear individual strands, and it keeps stray strands from bridging to the adjacent terminal. The F2031 adds a polypropylene insulating collar over the copper barrel, which covers the transition from jacket to barrel. For single-conductor landings in control panels and machine wiring on 16 AWG / 1.5 mm2 wire, that is the usual choice over bare strands.
4) Do I need a special crimper for the F2031 wire ferrule?
Yes, ferrules need a four-indent or hex ferrule crimper set for 1.5 mm2 / 16 AWG. A standard insulated-terminal tool with an oval nest will not form the barrel correctly and the strands will pull out. Size the die to the 1.5 mm2 position.
5) What color is the F2031 ferrule collar, and does the color mean anything?
Black. On color-coded ferrule systems the insulator color identifies the conductor size, so keeping to one color per gauge across a panel makes it obvious at a glance that a 16 AWG / 1.5 mm2 landing is correct. Note that ferrule color codes are not universal between the German DIN scheme and others, so standardize on one brand within a panel.
6) What is the manufacturer part number for this Sta-Kon ferrule, and where is it made?
Order it as Sta-Kon F2031. It is manufactured in Germany.
