Sta-Kon F4005 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F4005 ferrule take?
The F4005 is sized for 26 AWG conductor, which is the 0.16 mm2 metric equivalent called out in its description. Use it on fine stranded 26 AWG only, a larger conductor won't enter the copper barrel and an undersized one will not crimp tight enough to hold.
2) Why is the F4005 ferrule grey, and does the color mean anything?
Grey is the insulation color on the F4005, and on ferrules the collar color is the size code. On this part grey corresponds to the 26 AWG / 0.16 mm2 size, so an electrician pulling from a bin can identify size by color without measuring. The collar itself is polypropylene over a copper barrel.
3) Do I need an insulated ferrule like this for stranded wire going into a terminal block?
A ferrule is what keeps fine stranded 26 AWG from splaying or breaking strands under a screw terminal, and the polypropylene collar on the F4005 guards the insulation edge and gives a grip point while you feed the wire. If you're landing solid conductor you don't need one at all. For stranded control wiring in a panel, a crimped ferrule is the normal practice.
4) What do I order besides the F4005 ferrules to terminate my control wiring?
The ferrule is only the sleeve. You also need a ferrule crimping tool with a die matched to 0.16 mm2 / 26 AWG, since pliers or a generic terminal crimper will not form the four-indent or hex profile these need to hold. Nothing is supplied with the ferrule itself.
5) Is the Sta-Kon F4005 ferrule made in the USA?
No. The F4005 is manufactured in Germany. Worth knowing if you're buying against a Buy American or domestic-content requirement on a government or institutional job.
6) What is the Sta-Kon part number for the 26 AWG insulated ferrule?
F4005 is the manufacturer part number, a Sta-Kon polypropylene insulated copper ferrule for 26 AWG / 0.16 mm2 wire in the old DIN grey color. That number is what to quote when ordering or cross-referencing.
