Sta-Kon L973U – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon L973U ring terminal take?
The L973U is sized for 3/0AN-4/0 conductor. It's a one-size lug, so it won't crimp down reliably on smaller cable like 1/0 or 2/0, and it won't accept anything above 4/0. Match the barrel to the actual cable you're terminating.
2) Why would I use a 90 degree ring terminal instead of a straight lug?
The L973U is a 90 degree bend terminal, so the ring tongue sits perpendicular to the barrel. That's what you want when the cable runs parallel to the panel or bus face and the stud or bolt pad faces sideways, or where there isn't room to sweep a heavy 4/0 cable around to meet a flat tongue. A straight lug is the choice when the cable approaches the pad head on.
3) Is the Sta-Kon L973U insulated?
No. It's a bare, non-insulated copper terminal. Nothing covers the barrel after crimping, so if the installation needs insulation at the termination you have to add heat shrink or tape yourself.
4) Is this Sta-Kon lug copper or aluminum?
Copper. That makes the L973U a match for copper conductor; it is not an aluminum or bi-metal AL/CU lug, so don't substitute it where the spec calls for terminating aluminum cable.
5) Can I use a standard hydraulic crimper on the L973U, or does it need a special tool?
It's a tubular barrel lug for 3/0AN-4/0 copper, so it's crimped with a hydraulic or battery crimper using the die matched to that conductor size. There's no insulation sleeve to work around, which is why bare tubular lugs like this are the usual choice for large-gauge compression work in panels and switchgear.
6) Where is the Sta-Kon L973U terminal made?
Mexico. Worth knowing if you're filing country-of-origin paperwork on a government or institutional job.
