Sta-Kon A87G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge range does the Sta-Kon A87G ring terminal accept?
The A87G takes 22 to 16 AWG stranded or solid conductor. If your wire is 14 AWG or larger, this barrel won't crimp down on it correctly and you need a terminal rated for that gauge instead.
2) Is the Sta-Kon A87G insulated, and do I need to sleeve it?
No insulation. The A87G is a non-insulated ring terminal, bare metal the full length, so if the connection sits where it could short to an adjacent terminal or chassis you need to add heat shrink or a nylon sleeve yourself. In an enclosed lug box or on an isolated stud that's usually not required.
3) Ring terminal or fork (spade) terminal for a screw terminal block?
A ring like the A87G has to come off the stud entirely to be removed, which is exactly why it is preferred on anything that vibrates or on grounding studs, it cannot back out under a loosened screw. A fork or spade slides out sideways and is faster for service work on terminal strips where you pull wires often. For a #10 ground stud, go ring.
4) Are Sta-Kon A87G terminals made in the USA for a Buy American spec job?
Country of origin on the A87G is the United States. That is the data point a government, school district, or federally funded job usually needs for domestic-content documentation.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for the Sta-Kon A87G?
It is a crimp-on terminal, not solder-on, so it needs a crimper with a die matched to the 22-16 AWG barrel range. Pliers will not produce a holding crimp. Nothing is included with the terminal itself; the tool is a separate purchase.
6) What does the brazed seam on this Sta-Kon ring terminal mean for the crimp?
The barrel seam is brazed rather than left as a butted roll, so the wire barrel stays closed when the crimp die compresses it instead of splitting open along the seam. That matters on the smaller 22-16 AWG sizes where the barrel wall is thin.
7) Is the Sta-Kon A87G the right part number to reorder, or are there several versions?
A87G is the whole of it, one model, ordered as the manufacturer part number A87G from Sta-Kon. There is no finish or length choice to specify, so a reorder only needs the number and the quantity.
