Sta-Kon F2044 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F2044 ferrule take?
The F2044 wire ferrule is sized for 8 AWG, which is the 10 mm2 metric equivalent called out in the part description. One ferrule crimps onto one stranded conductor of that size; if your conductor is 10 or 12 AWG you need a smaller ferrule, not this one.
2) Is the Sta-Kon F2044 ferrule UL recognized for panel work?
It carries UL file E489056. For a control panel builder or institutional electrician who has to show listed components on the build sheet, that file number is the reference to cite.
3) How long is the Sta-Kon F2044 insulated ferrule?
Overall length is 1.063 inches, insulating collar included. That matters when you are figuring strip length and whether the finished ferrule will seat fully in a terminal block throat on a crowded panel.
4) What is the F2044 ferrule barrel made of, and can I use it on aluminum conductors?
The crimp barrel is copper, so it is intended for copper stranded wire. Copper barrels are not rated for aluminum conductors, which require a connector specifically marked AL or AL/CU, so do not use the F2044 on aluminum.
5) Do I need an insulated ferrule like this, or can I just land bare stranded wire in a terminal block?
A ferrule like the F2044 gathers the strands of an 8 AWG conductor into a solid pin so nothing frays or pushes out of the clamp, and the polypropylene collar keeps the strands contained where the wire enters the terminal. Many European-style terminal blocks and VFD or drive terminals effectively require ferrules on fine-stranded wire. Bare stranded wire is acceptable only where the terminal is rated for it.
6) Does the Sta-Kon F2044 come with a crimp tool, or do I buy that separately?
The F2044 is the ferrule alone. You crimp it with a ferrule crimper (four-indent or hex style) sized to cover 10 mm2 / 8 AWG; a standard insulated-terminal plier will not form a proper ferrule crimp. Order the tool separately if you do not already have one on the truck.
7) Why is the F2044 ferrule red, and does the color mean anything?
Red is the color code on this ferrule's polypropylene insulating collar, and on ferrules the collar color is how an electrician identifies the wire size at a glance during inspection or troubleshooting. On the F2044 red corresponds to the 8 AWG / 10 mm2 size.
8) Where is the Sta-Kon F2044 ferrule made?
Germany. For procurement teams tracking country of origin on submittals or trade compliance paperwork, the F2044 lists Germany (DE).
