Sta-Kon J973UNP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon J973UNP ring terminal take?
The J973UNP is sized for 1/0 through 2/0 AWG conductor. Anything smaller than 1/0 will not crimp reliably in that barrel, and 3/0 won't enter it, so match the lug to the actual conductor size rather than the conduit or breaker rating.
2) What stud size does this Sta-Kon lug bolt to?
The ring tongue on the J973UNP is drilled for a 3/8 inch stud or bolt, which is the common landing size on panelboard lugs, bus bars, and large disconnect terminals. If your pad is tapped for 1/4 or 5/16, this tongue will sit loose and you want a lug drilled to that stud instead.
3) What is this lug made of, and can I land it on an aluminum conductor?
It is a copper lug with a nickel plated finish, so it is intended for copper conductor. Aluminum conductor needs a lug rated AL or AL/CU with the appropriate compound, not a copper-only barrel. The nickel plating is the reason buyers pick this version over a plain tin finish: it holds up better at elevated temperature and in corrosive or marine-type environments.
4) Why would I use a 90 degree ring terminal instead of a straight one?
The 90 degree bend is formed into the tongue so the conductor runs perpendicular to the landing pad. That matters in a tight enclosure or gutter where a straight lug would force a sharp bend in 1/0 or 2/0 cable right at the barrel. Stiff large-gauge copper does not like that bend radius, and the pre-formed elbow takes the strain off the crimp. If your cable already approaches the pad in line with the stud, a straight tongue is the simpler choice.
5) Is this terminal insulated?
No. The J973UNP is a non-insulated lug, so the barrel and tongue are bare after crimping. Where you need the connection covered, add heat shrink tubing or a boot over the barrel yourself; nothing is supplied with the lug.
6) Can I crimp this with a hand tool or do I need a hydraulic crimper?
At 1/0 to 2/0 the barrel wall is heavy, so this is a power or hydraulic die crimp, not a hand-squeeze job. Use the die matched to the conductor size and make the number of crimps the barrel length calls for. A partial or single light crimp on a lug this size is the usual cause of a hot connection.
7) How do I order the exact part number for this nickel plated Sta-Kon lug?
Order it by manufacturer part number J973UNP from Sta-Kon. That single number covers the 1/0 to 2/0 range, the 3/8 inch stud hole, the 90 degree tongue, and the nickel plating, so there are no further options to specify. It is manufactured in Mexico.
