Sta-Kon F4004 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F4004 ferrule take?
The F4004 is sized for 26 AWG conductor, which is 0.14 mm2 in metric terms. It is a single-size ferrule, so stranded wire outside that size will either not enter the barrel or will not crimp down tight enough to hold.
2) Why use a ferrule instead of just landing bare stranded wire in a terminal block?
A ferrule like the F4004 gathers the strands of fine 26 AWG wire into one solid copper barrel so the screw or cage clamp bears on a single body instead of loose strands. That stops strand splay and whiskers bridging to the next terminal, and keeps the connection from loosening as strands relax under clamp pressure. On control panel wiring at this gauge it is the normal practice and many European terminal blocks assume it.
3) What is the F4004 ferrule made of, and will it work with aluminum conductor?
The barrel is copper, so it is intended for copper conductor. Do not use it on aluminum wire, where the dissimilar metal contact invites galvanic corrosion at the crimp. The insulating collar is polypropylene.
4) Do I need a special crimper for the Sta-Kon F4004 insulated ferrule?
Yes, use a ferrule crimper, not a standard insulated terminal tool. Ferrules at this size are crimped with a square, trapezoid, or hex die that compresses the copper barrel without crushing the polypropylene collar. A 26 AWG / 0.14 mm2 barrel is at the small end of most ferrule tool ranges, so check that your tool's die set goes down that far.
5) What exact part number should I order for a 26 AWG insulated ferrule from Sta-Kon?
Order Sta-Kon F4004. That manufacturer part number is the grey polypropylene insulated ferrule for 26 AWG / 0.14 mm2 conductor on the old DIN sizing. Other gauges in the family carry different numbers, so quote F4004 specifically when you need this size.
6) Where is the Sta-Kon F4004 ferrule manufactured?
Manufacture is in Germany. For procurement teams that log country of origin on panel build documentation, record it as DE.
