Sta-Kon F8003 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many wires does the Sta-Kon F8003 twin ferrule take, and what size?
The F8003 is a twin ferrule, so it crimps two conductors in one barrel, each 17 AWG (1.0 mm2). Both wires go into the same insulated entry and get crimped together into a single pin, which is what you want when you have to land two conductors in a terminal block built for one.
2) Can I use a Sta-Kon F8003 twin ferrule for a single wire?
No. The F8003 barrel is sized for two 17 AWG (1.0 mm2) conductors. Crimp a single wire in it and the conductor won't fill the barrel, so the crimp won't hold mechanically or electrically. For one conductor use a single ferrule matched to that wire's gauge.
3) What does the red color on the F8003 ferrule mean?
Red on the F8003 is the insulation color for the 1.0 mm2 (17 AWG) twin size. Ferrule collars are color coded by conductor size, so the red sleeve lets an electrician or inspector confirm at a glance that the right size ferrule went on the pair without re-measuring the wire.
4) Is the Sta-Kon F8003 ferrule UL recognized?
It carries UL file E489056. If your panel build or control cabinet has to show UL component references on the bill of materials, that is the number to cite for this ferrule.
5) What is the barrel material on the F8003, and will it work in an aluminum-wire panel?
The conducting barrel is copper with a polypropylene insulating sleeve. That makes it a copper-to-copper termination only. Do not crimp aluminum conductors in it; aluminum needs a ferrule or lug rated for aluminum or AL/CU.
6) Do I need a special crimper for Sta-Kon insulated twin ferrules?
Yes, 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 in the F8003 compress evenly. A ratchet lug or spade crimper will deform the barrel instead of compacting it.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon F8003 ferrule made?
Germany. That matters on public and institutional work where country of origin has to be recorded on the submittal or procurement paperwork.
8) What part number do I order for the 2x1.0 mm2 insulated twin ferrule?
Order Sta-Kon F8003. It is the red polypropylene insulated twin ferrule for two 17 AWG (1.0 mm2) conductors, sold under that single model designation.
