Funnel-entry ferrule for 16 AWG wire

The Panduit FTD78-8-D is a wire cap connector built for 16 AWG conductors. Its funnel-entry design eases wire insertion into the seamless barrel. The black polypropylene insulation is rated to 221 degrees Fahrenheit. It suits installers working in tight panels or automotive harnesses.

Pack of 500 with tinned seamless barrels

Each pack supplies 500 ferrules with tinned copper barrels that resist corrosion. The seamless construction removes a split-seam failure point during crimping. The 7/16 inch insertion length and 0.63 inch overall length fit standard terminal blocks. The DIN and UL markings confirm compliance for industrial control panels.

Crimp with matched die for reliable termination

Use a crimp tool matched to 16 AWG to compress the seamless barrel evenly. An oversized die leaves loose strands; an undersized die cracks the insulation. The funnel entry reduces strand splay but does not replace proper strip length. Verify the crimp height before energising the circuit.

Questions about this item

Will the tin-plated copper barrel need re-crimping after years of vibration?

The seamless tin-plated barrel resists corrosion and maintains a gas-tight crimp; periodic visual inspection is sufficient and re-crimping is not required under normal service.

What temperature limit does the polypropylene insulation hit first during continuous load?

The insulation is rated to 221 °F, so sustained currents that raise the connector above that temperature will degrade the polypropylene before the tin-plated copper reaches its limit.

How warm does the funnel-entry barrel get when the circuit runs all day at 16 AWG capacity?

The tin-plated copper conducts heat efficiently; at rated current the barrel stays well below the 221 °F insulation ceiling, producing only a modest temperature rise.
