Sta-Kon F2030 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F2030 ferrule take?
The F2030 wire ferrule is sized for 18-17 AWG conductor, which is the 1 mm2 metric equivalent called out in its description. If you're terminating 16 AWG or larger stranded wire into a terminal block, you need a larger ferrule; crimping an oversized conductor into this barrel will not give you a sound termination.
2) Should I use a ferrule or a fork terminal on stranded control wire going into a terminal block?
For a screw-clamp or spring-cage terminal block, a ferrule like the F2030 is the right choice: it gathers the strands into a solid copper barrel so the clamp bears on the barrel instead of splaying or cutting individual strands. Fork and ring terminals are for binding-head screws and stud terminals, where the conductor has to wrap or slide under a screw head. Use the ferrule for block terminations, the fork or ring for screw-and-washer terminations.
3) Why is the Sta-Kon F2030 ferrule red, and does the color mean anything?
Red is the insulation color on the F2030, and on insulated ferrules the color sleeve is the size code. Red here corresponds to the 1 mm2 / 18-17 AWG barrel, so on a panel build the electrician can confirm at a glance that the right size was crimped without pulling the wire back out of the terminal.
4) Do I need a special crimper for the Sta-Kon F2030 ferrule?
Yes. Insulated ferrules need a ferrule crimper that forms a square, hex, or trapezoid profile on the barrel, not the oval nest used for insulated ring and fork terminals. A standard terminal crimper will flatten the barrel and the wire can pull out. Match the die to the 1 mm2 / 18-17 AWG size.
5) Is the Sta-Kon F2030 a single part number or are there size options to pick?
F2030 is one part number, one size: the 18-17 AWG / 1 mm2 red ferrule. There is nothing else to specify on the order. If your panel uses several conductor sizes, you'll be ordering a separate ferrule part number for each.
6) What is the insulation on the Sta-Kon F2030 made of?
Polypropylene, over a copper crimp barrel. Polypropylene sleeving is standard on wire ferrules for control panel work; it keeps the strands contained and insulates the barrel right up to the terminal throat.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon F2030 ferrule manufactured?
Germany. For government and institutional procurement that has to document country of origin on the purchase record, the F2030 is DE origin.
