Application & Compatibility
This Panduit wire ferrule is designed for 16 AWG conductors in generator and electrical supply applications. It provides a reliable crimp termination for copper wires where a secure connection is required. The ferrule suits installers and maintenance personnel working on generator parts and accessories. It is not intended for wire gauges other than the specified 16 AWG size.
Sustained Load Behaviour
The copper barrel with tin-plated finish maintains consistent conductivity under continuous electrical load. Polypropylene insulation is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 221 Degrees F, ensuring the ferrule retains its mechanical and electrical integrity during prolonged generator operation. The crimp termination style creates a permanent joint that resists vibration loosening over time.
Thermals, Noise & Power Draw
As a passive termination component, the ferrule generates no operational noise and draws no power itself. Its tin-plated copper barrel minimises contact resistance, reducing localised heating at the connection point during normal use. The black polypropylene insulation remains stable within the 221 Degrees F rating, supporting safe thermal performance in generator environments.

Questions about this item
Do these ferrules run hot when used continuously at 221 °F?
They are rated for a maximum operating temperature of 221 °F, so they will not overheat under normal continuous use within that limit.
What crimp tool is needed to terminate a 16 AWG wire into the 0.12 in barrel?
A crimper sized for 16 AWG wire and a 0.12 in barrel diameter is required to make a proper connection.
Will the 3/8 in insertion length fit the terminal blocks on my older DIN-rail gear?
The 3/8 in insertion length matches the DIN 46228 Part 4 standard used on many legacy DIN-rail terminal blocks.
