Wire Ferrule 16 AWG 17/32 in
Panduit FSD78-10-D is a tin-plated copper wire ferrule designed for 16 AWG conductors. It suits panel builders and electricians terminating stranded wire in terminal blocks. The black polypropylene insulation identifies the gauge and protects the crimp zone. Packaged in a quantity of 500 pieces for production use.
Standards and temperature limits
The ferrule meets CSA C 22.2 No. 291-14, DIN 46228 and UL 486F for crimp termination safety. Maximum operating temperature is 221 degrees Fahrenheit. Polypropylene insulation softens above this point, so the part must not be used in higher-temperature environments. Crimp tooling must match the 16 AWG barrel dimensions for a compliant connection.
Capacity and headroom
Barrel diameter is 0.12 inches and barrel length is 0.26 inches, sized precisely for 16 AWG solid or stranded copper wire. Insertion length of 17/32 inches sets the strip length and terminal engagement depth. The ferrule cannot accept larger gauges or smaller wires without a different part number. Tin plating provides corrosion resistance for the service life of the termination.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 16 AWG black ferrule or a different size for my 16 AWG wire?
The black insulation identifies the 16 AWG size, and the ferrule accepts only 16 AWG wire, so choose this version when your conductor is exactly 16 AWG.
What does the 17/32 in insertion length mean when I crimp this ferrule?
The 17/32 in insertion length is the depth the stripped wire must reach inside the barrel, giving a 0.26 in barrel length for a secure crimp joint.
Which standards apply to the DIN 46228 ferrule and what do they cap in practice?
DIN 46228, UL 486F and CSA C22.2 No. 291-14 certify the ferrule for 16 AWG copper wire with a 221 °F maximum operating temperature.
