The 16A you are referring to is AWG or American wire gauge.

Took me a while to find where you were getting 14A and 16A from

So these are not the amp ratings. I cant find any amp ratings for them at all.
 
I refer you to the quote above
If you look at a reputable supplier such as Weidmuller you will see that their crimps are rated at the same current carrying capacity as the cable they are fitted to.

Yep, use thousands of the things, as all the cabling in our installations (hospitality trailers) is in flex.

I would not use a screw terminal on flex without a ferrule.

you'll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with pepsodent.
 
I find these on prewired 13a plugs - but where can I buy them? I need them for typical mains cables but also for 7/.02 and 16/.02 wires I use on models

or you can get packs on eBay or Amazon.

Thanks, I did find those on a search but they are too long and not the same crimp type. I'm looking for very small brass ones as in the picture, about 4-5 mm long

The small brass ones are likely to be applied by automated machinery rather than available for fitting by hand.
Plain ferrules can be fitted and cut to length as required.
 
If you are doing thousands, there is a tool that presses the copper so hard that it cold welds into an almost solid strand.
Can’t remember who makes it but if your interested I have a hard copy of there brochure at home.
Think it was about 2k so only for serious quantity manufacturing
