Overview

The ABB F2046 Polypropylene-Insulated Ferrule (SKU: F2046) from ABB Installation Products is engineered for robust and reliable wire terminations in demanding industrial environments. This ferrule features a durable polypropylene insulation housing, conforming to DIN standard colors, and is supplied on reels for high-volume applications. Its continuously molded design ensures consistent placement within applicators, facilitating fast and dependable terminations. The F2046 ferrule is constructed from high-quality tin-plated copper, providing excellent electrical conductivity and superior corrosion resistance, crucial for maintaining signal integrity and longevity in harsh conditions. The seamless barrel design effectively contains loose wire strands, preventing fraying and ensuring a superior termination quality, which is essential for preventing short circuits and ensuring safe operation. Designed specifically for 6 AWG (16.00mm²) wire sizes, this blue ferrule offers a total length of 1.142 inches (29mm) and a pin length of 0.708 inches (18mm), with a pin diameter of 0.236 inches (6mm) and a base diameter of 0.346 inches (8.8mm). The maximum wire insulation diameter is not explicitly stated for this specific SKU in the provided excerpt, but similar ferrules in the FSD series for 1.5mm² wire have a max insulation diameter of 0.13 inches (3.2mm). The blue color coding aids in quick identification and organization of wiring systems. This ferrule is optimized for use with specialized ferrule applicators, such as the Semiautomatic Ferrule Crimping Tool CT-1000 for medium volume applications, or designed for high-volume applications with specific applicators. While specific applicator part numbers like SCA-712022002 are noted as no longer available, compatible dies are available. Consult ABB or your distributor for recommended tooling.
