Panduit FSD78-8-D Ferrule 16 AWG PK500

SKU CH-S3K2-8DP9B

Copper ferrules with tin-plated barrels for 16 AWG crimp terminations, pack of 500

  • 16 AWG crimp ferrule for secure wire termination
  • Tin-plated copper barrel resists corrosion
  • 15/32 in insertion length fits standard terminals
  • Black polypropylene insulation rated to 221 °F
  • Pack of 500 meets CSA, DIN and UL standards

Application & fit

Panduit FSD78-8-D ferrules terminate 16 AWG copper wire in generator and electrical panels. The pack contains 500 pieces for volume wiring jobs. They are not suited for installers who need a different wire gauge or a non-crimp termination style.

Deciding specification

The ferrule accepts only 16 AWG wire with a 0.08 in diameter and a 15/32 in insertion length. Tin-plated copper barrel and polypropylene insulation meet CSA C 22.2 No. 291-14, DIN 46228 and UL 486F standards. Buyers who need a larger barrel diameter or a different insulation colour must choose another part.

Thermals, noise & power

Maximum operating temperature is 221 Degrees F. The crimp connection adds no active cooling requirement and produces no audible noise. Power draw is limited to the resistance of the copper barrel itself.

Questions about this item

What does the 15/32 in insertion length mean when I crimp this ferrule?

The 15/32 in insertion length is the depth the 16 AWG wire must be pushed into the barrel before crimping so the tin-plated copper barrel makes full contact.

Which standards govern this ferrule and what do they limit in practice?

The ferrule meets CSA C22.2 No. 291-14, DIN 46228 and UL 486F, which together cap the maximum operating temperature at 221 °F and confirm the crimp termination for 16 AWG copper wire.

What physical space does the ferrule need to fit inside a terminal block?

The ferrule has a 0.08 in diameter and a 0.12 in barrel diameter with a 0.26 in barrel length, so the terminal block opening must accommodate those dimensions.
