Sta-Kon F9028 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F9028 ferrule take?
The F9028 wire ferrule is sized for 6 AWG conductor, which is the 16 mm2 metric equivalent called out in its description. It is a crimp sleeve for stranded wire ends, so all strands of the 6 AWG conductor go into the barrel before crimping. If your conductor is a different gauge, you need a different ferrule number, not this one.
2) Is the F9028 ferrule insulated, and does that matter for a terminal block?
It is a non-insulated ferrule, bare copper with no plastic collar. That means there is no color-coded insulation sleeve to protect or strain-relieve the wire behind the crimp, so it suits applications where the terminal block or enclosure already covers the connection. If you need the insulated collar for the strain relief and clearance, specify an insulated ferrule instead.
3) Does the F9028 ferrule carry a UL file number for panel work?
Yes, it is covered under UL file E489056. For an inspector or an institutional panel build, that is the file to reference for the termination. Pair it with the crimp tool and die the ferrule is rated for so the completed crimp holds up under inspection.
4) Why use a wire ferrule on 6 AWG stranded instead of landing bare strands in the lug?
A ferrule gathers every strand of the conductor into one solid copper sleeve, so the screw terminal clamps a single body instead of loose strands that splay, back out, or get cut by the screw. On a 6 AWG feeder into a terminal block that matters, because a stray strand is both a loose connection and a short-circuit risk. The F9028 is the non-insulated version of that sleeve for 6 AWG / 16 mm2 wire.
5) What material is the F9028 ferrule made from, and is it plated?
The sleeve is copper with a metallic, unpainted finish. Copper-to-copper is what you want against a stranded copper conductor; the bare metal also means there is no insulation to burn or discolor if the terminal runs warm. Do not use it as an aluminum-to-copper transition.
6) Where is the Sta-Kon F9028 ferrule made?
Country of origin is Germany. For government and institutional buyers tracking origin on a submittal, that is the declared country for this part number.
