Sta-Kon F9008 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F9008 ferrule crimp?
The F9008 wire ferrule takes 16 AWG conductor, which is the 1.5 mm2 metric equivalent called out in its description. The barrel length is .39 inch. If your conductor is 14 AWG or 18 AWG, you need a different ferrule size in the family, since a ferrule barrel only crimps reliably on the gauge it is sized for.
2) Is the F9008 ferrule insulated or bare metal?
Bare. The F9008 is a non-insulated ferrule, copper, with a metallic finish and no plastic collar. That matters for two reasons: you get a shorter overall termination that fits tight terminal blocks, and you have no color-coded collar to identify the gauge once it is crimped. If you want gauge color coding or added strain relief at the wire entry, specify an insulated ferrule instead.
3) Why use a wire ferrule on stranded wire going into a terminal block?
A ferrule like the F9008 gathers the strands of a 16 AWG stranded conductor into a solid crimped copper barrel so no strand escapes the terminal, the clamp screw bears evenly, and the strands are not crushed or broken by the screw. It is the standard termination for stranded wire into screw and spring-cage terminals in control panels and machine wiring.
4) Does the F9008 ferrule carry a UL file number for panel inspection?
Yes. The F9008 ferrule is covered under UL file E489056, which is the reference an inspector or panel shop QA will want when documenting terminations in a listed control assembly.
5) Can I crimp a Sta-Kon F9008 ferrule with pliers or a generic crimper?
No. A copper ferrule barrel needs a dedicated ferrule crimp tool with a square, trapezoid, or hex die sized for 1.5 mm2 / 16 AWG. Pliers deform the barrel unevenly, leave strands loose, and will not give you a termination that holds up in a terminal block.
6) Can I use the F9008 ferrule for two 16 AWG wires in one terminal?
No, not as a twin ferrule. The F9008 is sized for a single 1.5 mm2 (16 AWG) conductor. Doubling wires into a single-conductor barrel over-fills it and the crimp will not be sound. Two conductors into one terminal calls for a twin-entry ferrule rated for that combined cross section.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon F9008 ferrule made?
Germany. Country of origin on the F9008 is Germany (DE), which is the detail government and institutional buyers need for origin documentation on a bid.
