Sta-Kon F2046 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F2046 insulated ferrule take?
The F2046 ferrule is sized for 6 AWG conductor, which is the 16 mm2 metric equivalent called out in its description. If you are terminating a smaller conductor, step down to a ferrule rated for that gauge rather than crimping loose strands into this barrel, an undersized conductor in an oversized ferrule will not hold a proper crimp.
2) How long is the Sta-Kon F2046 ferrule?
The F2046 is a 1.142 inch overall length ferrule. Check that against the depth of your terminal block clamp, the barrel has to seat fully inside the clamping chamber so no bare copper is left exposed outside the block.
3) What is the barrel on the Sta-Kon F2046 made of, and what is the collar?
Copper barrel with a polypropylene insulating collar. Copper gives you the conductivity and crimp behavior you want against a stranded copper conductor, and polypropylene holds up better to higher terminal-block temperatures than a soft vinyl sleeve.
4) Do I need a special crimper for a 6 AWG insulated ferrule like the F2046?
Yes. A 16 mm2 copper ferrule barrel needs a ferrule crimper with a die that covers that size, typically a four-indent or hex die tool. Standard insulated terminal pliers meant for ring and fork lugs will not form a correct crimp on this barrel. Order the ferrule and a matching die range together so the termination is repeatable across the panel.
5) Why is the F2046 ferrule blue, and does the color mean anything?
Blue is the color code for the 16 mm2 / 6 AWG size in the standard insulated ferrule color scheme, so the insulating collar on the F2046 doubles as a size marker. On a panel where several ferrule sizes are in a tray, techs sort by collar color rather than reading the barrel.
6) What is the exact part number to order this Sta-Kon ferrule by?
Order it as Sta-Kon F2046. That single part number covers the 6 AWG / 16 mm2 blue insulated ferrule at 1.142 inch length, there are no size or finish options to specify with it.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon F2046 ferrule manufactured?
Germany. That matters for buyers whose procurement rules require country-of-origin documentation on electrical components or who are matching a European panel build standard.
