Sta-Kon F8005 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F8005 twin ferrule take?
The F8005 is a twin (double) ferrule sized for two 17 AWG conductors, which is the 2 x 1.0 mm2 metric equivalent. Both wires go into the same barrel and get crimped together, so use it where you need two conductors landing in one terminal screw. If you are terminating a single 1.0 mm2 wire, you want a single ferrule instead, not this part.
2) Is the Sta-Kon F8005 ferrule UL recognized for use in a control panel?
It carries UL file E489056. That is the listing reference an inspector or panel-shop QA will want to see for the termination, so the F8005 can be specified where UL coverage on wire terminations is required.
3) Is the red insulation on the F8005 ferrule a color code for the wire size?
Yes. The F8005 has a red polypropylene insulating collar, and on ferrules the collar color identifies the conductor size, so red here corresponds to the 1.0 mm2 / 17 AWG rating. If your panel already uses red twin ferrules on 1.0 mm2 pairs, this matches that convention.
4) Do I need a special crimper for the F8005 twin ferrule?
Twin ferrules need a ferrule crimper, not a standard insulated-terminal tool. Use a four-indent or trapezoidal ferrule crimp die set to the 1.0 mm2 position so both 17 AWG conductors are compressed evenly inside the copper barrel. Pliers or a generic butt-splice tool will not produce a gas-tight crimp. The crimp tool is a separate purchase.
5) Can I use the Sta-Kon F8005 to daisy-chain two wires into one terminal block?
That is exactly what a twin ferrule is for. Jumpering between terminal blocks, or bringing a feed and a jumper into one screw, is the standard use: both 17 AWG conductors are crimped into the single copper barrel and the finished pin drops into one terminal. It keeps strands out from under the clamping screw, which is what most panel specs are after.
6) What is the conductor barrel on the Sta-Kon F8005 made of?
Copper barrel with a polypropylene insulating sleeve over it. Copper gives you the conductivity and the crimp ductility you need for a reliable gas-tight termination on stranded wire; the plastic collar funnels the two conductors in and insulates the crimp from the adjacent terminal.
7) What part number do I order, and where is the Sta-Kon F8005 made?
