Sta-Kon F9026 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F9026 ferrule take?
The F9026 is sized for 6 AWG conductor, which is the 16 mm2 metric equivalent called out in the part description. It's a single-conductor wire end ferrule, so one 6 AWG stranded wire goes in the barrel, not two smaller wires doubled up.
2) Is the Sta-Kon F9026 ferrule UL listed for panel work?
It carries UL file E489056. That's the reference an inspector or a spec reviewer will want on a control panel submittal, so cite the file number rather than just "UL" on your paperwork.
3) Is this a non-insulated or insulated wire ferrule?
Non-insulated. The F9026 is a bare copper sleeve with no plastic collar, so there's no color-coded insulation to identify the size once it's crimped and no strain relief over the wire jacket. If your panel spec calls for an insulated collar ferrule, this is not the part.
4) Why use a ferrule on stranded wire going into a terminal block instead of bare wire?
A ferrule like the F9026 gathers all the strands of a 6 AWG conductor into one solid copper sleeve so the terminal screw clamps a single body instead of loose strands. That stops strands from splaying outside the clamp, prevents a strand from bridging to the adjacent terminal, and keeps the clamping force from working loose as the strands shift. Many European-style terminal blocks and control panel specs require it on stranded conductors.
5) Do I need a special crimper for a 6 AWG wire ferrule?
Yes. Ferrules are crimped with a ferrule crimper that forms a square or hex compression on the sleeve, and 6 AWG / 16 mm2 is past the range of the small 4-point ferrule pliers used for control wire. You need a crimp die rated for 16 mm2. A standard insulated-terminal tool will not form this sleeve correctly. The crimp tool is not supplied with the ferrule.
6) What part number do I order for a 6 AWG Sta-Kon non-insulated ferrule?
Order F9026. That is the manufacturer part number for the 6 AWG / 16 mm2 non-insulated ferrule with the .591 inch barrel, and it's the only configuration this model covers, so there's no length or color option to specify.
7) What is the Sta-Kon F9026 ferrule made of and what does it look like?
Copper construction with a plain metallic finish, no plating color or insulation sleeve to identify it. Copper-to-copper contact with the conductor keeps the joint consistent electrically. Made in Germany.
