Sta-Kon F2020 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F2020 ferrule take?
The F2020 wire ferrule is sized for 20 AWG conductor, which is 0.5 mm2 in metric terms. If your stranded conductor is a different gauge, you need a different ferrule size - a ferrule that is too large will not crimp down tight and a too-small barrel will not accept all the strands.
2) How long is the F2020 ferrule?
Overall length on the F2020 is .453 inch. That includes the insulated polypropylene collar plus the copper barrel, so figure the strip length on your conductor against the barrel portion rather than the full .453 inch.
3) What is a wire ferrule for, and do I need one for terminal block connections?
A ferrule like the F2020 is a short metal sleeve crimped onto the end of a stranded conductor so the strands stay together as a solid pin. That keeps loose strands from splaying out under a terminal block screw or spring clamp, which is the usual cause of loose connections and shorts between adjacent terminals. The F2020 is the 20 AWG / 0.5 mm2 size, with a polypropylene insulating collar at the entry end.
4) Can I install the Sta-Kon F2020 ferrule with regular pliers?
No. A ferrule has to be compressed with a ferrule crimping tool, square or hex or trapezoidal die depending on the tool, so the copper barrel deforms uniformly around the strands. Pliers flatten the barrel and the conductor will pull out or go high-resistance under load. Size the die to the 0.5 mm2 / 20 AWG barrel.
5) Why is the Sta-Kon F2020 ferrule white, and does the color mean anything?
White is the insulation color on the F2020, and on insulated ferrules the collar color is the size code. White here corresponds to the 0.5 mm2 / 20 AWG size, so panel builders can verify at a glance that the right ferrule went on the right conductor without measuring the barrel.
6) Is the F2020 ferrule barrel copper or steel?
Copper barrel. That matters for a termination on copper conductor, since you are crimping copper to copper and avoiding the dissimilar-metal interface you would get with a plated steel sleeve.
7) Where are Sta-Kon F2020 ferrules made?
Country of origin on the F2020 is Germany. Useful if you have a procurement spec with origin-reporting or trade-agreement requirements on panel components.
