The AWG value is the supplier catalogue reference, not a mathematical conversion. Use the wire ferrule size and colour guide when comparing catalogue labels. Select HE16-12 from the conductor’s marked 16 mm² cross-section first, then compare a 12 mm pin with the terminal maker’s accepted ferrule and strip-length requirements.
16 mm green bootlace ferrule, 16 mm² / 6 AWG, with a 12 mm pin
The model code is direct: 16 identifies the 16 mm² conductor size and 12 identifies the nominal pin length in millimetres. HE16-12 suits terminals that accept a 12 mm pin. Compare every pin length and series at this cross-section on the 16 mm² bootlace ferrule page. Small quantities of the 16 mm² size are also included in the Termnex wire ferrule kits.

FAQ
What does HE16-12 mean?
HE identifies the insulated single-wire ferrule series. The 16 size code identifies the 16 mm² conductor size and 12 denotes a 12 mm nominal pin length.
Is green the only HE16-12 collar colour?
No. The shown Termnex configuration is green. Factory data also lists white or blue, so specify the required colour with the order.
Is HE16-12 UL Listed?
No. HE16-12 is outside the current UL 486F covered-model list. The HE series has model-specific coverage, so do not extend the listing from a neighbouring size.
Is HE16-12 a bootlace ferrule?
Yes. Wire ferrule, bootlace ferrule, cable ferrule and cord end terminal are common names for this type of stranded-wire termination.
Which crimp tool covers HE16-12?
HX-35WF covers the 16 mm² range that includes HE16-12. Verify the finished crimp against the conductor and terminal requirements.
Is HE16-12 sold individually?
No. The standard factory pack contains 500 pieces. Small evaluation quantities and commercial terms are confirmed with the quotation.
