Sta-Kon F8008 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F8008 twin ferrule take?
The F8008 is a twin (double) ferrule sized for two 14 AWG conductors, metric 2 x 2.5 mm2. Both wires go into the single insulated barrel and get crimped together, so use it when you need to land two same-size conductors in one terminal.
2) Should I use a twin ferrule or two single ferrules when landing two wires on one terminal?
A twin ferrule like the F8008 is the right call when a terminal block or breaker is rated for only one conductor per clamp. It crimps both 14 AWG wires into one barrel, so the terminal sees a single solid pin. Two single ferrules stacked in one clamp sit unevenly and can loosen. If the terminal is listed for two conductors, singles are fine; otherwise go twin.
3) Can I put two different wire gauges in one F8008 ferrule?
No. The F8008 is sized for two 14 AWG (2 x 2.5 mm2) conductors. Mixing gauges leaves the smaller wire under-crimped and loose in the barrel. Use a ferrule matched to the actual combined cross-section instead.
4) What material is the barrel on the F8008 ferrule, and will the insulation hold up in a panel?
The crimp barrel is copper, and the collar is polypropylene insulation. Copper gives you the conductivity and the controlled deformation you want in a crimp; polypropylene is the usual collar material on control-panel wire ferrules.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for the F8008 twin ferrule?
Yes, insulated twin ferrules need a ferrule crimper, not a standard insulated-terminal tool. Use a four-indent or trapezoidal ferrule die set covering 2.5 mm2 so the copper barrel is compressed evenly around both 14 AWG conductors. A generic butt-splice crimper will flatten the collar and give you a poor termination.
6) What does the blue color on this twin ferrule indicate?
Blue is the standard color code for the 2.5 mm2 size in insulated ferrules, and the F8008 is blue. On a panel it lets you confirm at a glance that the right ferrule size was crimped on a 14 AWG pair without pulling the wire.
7) What is the manufacturer part number for this Sta-Kon blue twin ferrule?
Order it as Sta-Kon F8008. It is made in Germany.
