Sta-Kon F9010 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F9010 ferrule take?
The F9010 is sized for 16 AWG stranded wire, which is the 1.5 mm2 metric equivalent called out in the part description. If you are terminating 14 AWG or 18 AWG conductors, you need a different ferrule in the series, not this one.
2) Does the Sta-Kon F9010 ferrule carry a UL listing for panel work?
Yes. The F9010 is covered under UL file E489056, which is the reference an inspector or panel shop QA will want for a listed wire termination.
3) Is the F9010 ferrule insulated or bare metal?
Bare. The F9010 is a non-insulated ferrule, so there is no plastic collar to color-code the wire size or to cover the strip length. Use it where the terminal block or enclosure already provides the insulation, or pick an insulated ferrule if you want the color-coded sleeve.
4) Why use a wire ferrule instead of just putting stranded wire straight into a terminal block?
A ferrule like the F9010 crimps the strands of a 16 AWG conductor into a single solid pin, so no strand escapes the clamp, the screw pressure stays on the whole conductor, and the termination does not loosen as the strands settle. Most European-style terminal blocks and control panel builds expect ferruled stranded wire for exactly that reason.
5) How much insulation should I strip for the F9010 ferrule?
The F9010 has a .70 contact barrel length, so strip the 16 AWG conductor to roughly that length. Strip short and the strands bottom out before the barrel is full; strip long and bare copper sits outside the crimp.
6) Do I need a special crimper for the F9010 ferrule?
Ferrules need a four-indent or hex ferrule crimper rather than an insulated-terminal tool. A standard red/blue/yellow nylon-terminal crimper will not form the barrel of a non-insulated 16 AWG ferrule correctly, and a loose crimp is what fails later.
7) What is the F9010 ferrule made of, and will it work with copper panel wiring?
It is a copper ferrule, so it mates with standard copper control and power conductors without dissimilar-metal issues. The finish is plain metallic, with no insulating sleeve.
8) Where is the Sta-Kon F9010 ferrule manufactured?
Germany. Country of origin is listed as Germany (DE), which matters on government and institutional jobs with origin reporting or trade-agreement requirements.
