Sta-Kon F4023 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F4023 ferrule take?
The F4023 wire ferrule is sized for 18 AWG conductor, which is the 0.75 mm2 metric equivalent called out in the part description. If your conductor is 16 AWG or 20 AWG, you need a different ferrule size, since a ferrule only crimps reliably on the gauge it is barreled for.
2) Does this Sta-Kon ferrule carry a UL file number for panel inspection?
The F4023 is covered under UL file E489056. That is the reference an inspector or QA reviewer will want when the ferrule is used on control wiring in a listed panel build.
3) Is the light blue color on this ferrule a code for the wire size?
Yes. The F4023 insulated ferrule is light blue, and on the old DIN color scheme that shade marks the 0.75 mm2 / 18 AWG size. Panel builders use the color to verify at a glance that the right ferrule went on the right conductor during point-to-point wiring.
4) Is the barrel on the Sta-Kon F4023 copper or tinned steel?
Copper. The conducting barrel of the F4023 is copper with a polypropylene insulating collar over it, which is the standard construction for stranded-wire ferrules going into screw or spring-cage terminals.
5) Why use an insulated ferrule instead of just tinning or twisting the stranded wire?
A ferrule gathers all the strands into a solid copper sleeve so a terminal screw clamps a single cylindrical conductor instead of splaying strands, and the polypropylene collar keeps the strands from fanning out behind the terminal. Tinning is prohibited in most control-panel practice because solder creeps under clamping pressure and the joint loosens. The F4023 handles 18 AWG / 0.75 mm2 control conductors.
6) Where is the Sta-Kon F4023 ferrule made?
Germany. Country of origin on the F4023 is listed as Germany (DE), which matters if your project carries country-of-origin documentation requirements on bill-of-material submittals.
7) What is the manufacturer part number to order this ferrule by?
Order it as Sta-Kon F4023. That single MPN covers the insulated polypropylene old DIN ferrule in light blue for 18 AWG / 0.75 mm2 conductor, so there are no size or color suffixes to add.
