Sta-Kon F2022 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F2022 ferrule take?
The F2022 is sized for 20 AWG conductor, which is the 0.5 mm2 metric equivalent called out in its description. If you're terminating 18 AWG or larger, you need a bigger ferrule from the series, not this one. Stranded control and instrumentation wire at 20 AWG is the usual application.
2) Is the Sta-Kon F2022 ferrule UL recognized for use in a control panel?
It carries UL file E489056. That is the listing reference to cite on a panel submittal when an inspector or spec asks for a UL mark on the wire terminations.
3) How do I identify the right ferrule size quickly in a panel, by color?
The F2022 ferrule has a white insulation collar, which is the color-coded marker for the 0.5 mm2 / 20 AWG size in this series. Panel builders use that collar color to pick the right size out of a bin without measuring the barrel.
4) What is the barrel made of, and will it handle a copper conductor without corrosion issues?
The barrel is copper, so it's a like-metal connection with copper conductors, which is what you want for long-term resistance in a terminal block or control circuit. The insulation sleeve over it is polypropylene.
5) How long is the Sta-Kon F2022 ferrule and will it fit a shallow terminal block?
Overall length is .61 inch including the insulated collar, so the exposed crimped barrel is shorter than that. Measure the wire well depth on your terminal block before committing to a run, since insulated ferrules need the collar to sit clear of the clamp.
6) Should I use an insulated ferrule or a bare one on stranded control wire?
An insulated ferrule like the F2022 adds a polypropylene collar that funnels the strands in and shields the transition where the wire leaves the barrel, which is why it's the common choice in dense control panels with terminals close together. A bare ferrule does the same job of consolidating strands but leaves that transition exposed, so it's used where space inside the terminal well is tight or where the collar won't clear the clamp.
7) Do I need a special crimp tool for the F2022 ferrule?
Ferrules of this type are crimped with a ferrule crimper, square or trapezoidal die, not the oval nest used for ring and fork terminals. The .5 mm2 position on the die is the one to use for the F2022. A plier-style insulated terminal crimper will deform the barrel and leave a connection that pulls out.
8) Where is the Sta-Kon F2022 ferrule made?
Country of origin is Germany. That matters on public and institutional jobs where a procurement package requires origin to be documented on the submittal.
