The AWG value is the supplier catalogue reference, not a mathematical conversion. Select HE4012 from the conductor’s marked 4 mm² cross-section first, then compare the 12 mm pin length with the terminal maker’s accepted ferrule and strip-length requirements.
4 mm² grey ferrule with a 12 mm pin
The model code is direct: HE40 identifies the 4 mm² size and 12 identifies the nominal pin length in millimetres. The grey collar is the DIN colour configuration for 4 mm²; colour acts as a visual aid, while the conductor marking and part number remain the primary identifiers.
HE4012 suits terminals that accept a 12 mm ferrule barrel. A shallower terminal can require HE4009 or HE4010, while a deeper terminal may suit HE4018. For two 4 mm² conductors entering one terminal, use a correctly sized twin wire ferrule instead of forcing both conductors into HE4012.
UL 486F and ordering
HE4012 is UL Listed to UL 486F under supplier file E495870. The certificate record covers this exact model. Project approval still depends on the terminal, crimp tool, conductor and installation requirements specified by the panel builder.
HE4012 is supplied in a 1,000-piece factory pack. Quote requests should state the required collar colour, quantity, destination country and any document requirement.

Send the required quantity and destination. Termnex will confirm current availability, lead time and the documentation supplied with the quoted pack.
FAQ
What does HE4012 mean?
HE identifies the insulated single-wire ferrule series. The 40 denotes a 4 mm² conductor size and 12 denotes a 12 mm nominal pin length.
Is HE4012 a bootlace ferrule?
Yes. Wire ferrule, bootlace ferrule and cord end terminal are common names for this type of insulated stranded-wire termination.
Is grey the only HE4012 collar colour?
No. The photographed Termnex configuration is grey. Factory data also lists orange, so specify the required colour with the order.
Which crimp tool covers HE4012?
SN-06WF covers ferrules from 0.3 to 6 mm², including HE4012. Verify the finished crimp against the conductor and terminal requirements.
Is HE4012 sold individually?
No. The standard factory pack contains 1,000 pieces. Small evaluation quantities and commercial terms are confirmed with the quotation.
