Sta-Kon F2028 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Why is the Sta-Kon F2028 ferrule red, and does the color mean anything?
Red is the insulation color on the F2028, and on ferrules the sleeve color is the size code. Red on this part corresponds to the 1 mm2 / 18-17 AWG conductor it is built for, so an electrician pulling from a bin can pick the right size by color without measuring. The sleeve is polypropylene over a copper barrel.
2) Do I need a crimper for the F2028 ferrule, or can I just push the wire in?
It has to be crimped. The F2028 is a copper barrel with a polypropylene insulating collar, and the barrel is what grips the strands once compressed. Use a four-indent or trapezoidal ferrule crimper set for 1 mm2 / 18-17 AWG. The crimping tool is not included with the ferrules.
3) Should I use an insulated ferrule or a fork terminal on stranded control wire?
A ferrule like the F2028 is for wire going into a clamp or box-type terminal: it bundles the strands into a solid pin so nothing frays or escapes under the screw. A fork or ring terminal is for wire landing on a stud or a screw you tighten down onto a lug. If your terminal block has a tunnel and a pressure plate, the ferrule is the right part; if it has an exposed screw head, pick a fork or ring.
4) What is the exact part number and origin of the F2028 ferrule for a submittal?
Order it as Sta-Kon F2028. Country of origin is Germany (DE), and the part is UL file E489056 for spec packages that require the listing reference.
