Sta-Kon RA867-170 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA867-170 ring terminal accept?
The RA867-170 is sized for 22 to 16 AWG stranded copper conductors. That is the red insulation range, and red vinyl is exactly what the terminal uses, so you can sort it out of a mixed bin by color on the truck. Running 14 AWG into it will not crimp reliably, so step up to a blue-barrel terminal for that.
2) What stud or screw size does this red ring terminal fit?
It is a No. 8 ring, so it drops over a #8 stud or machine screw at a terminal block, ground lug, or device screw. A #10 stud will not pass through the tongue, and a #6 screw head may pull through, so match the ring to the stud rather than forcing it.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RA867-170 terminal UL listed, and what voltage can I use it at?
It carries UL file E9809 and is rated 600 volts, which covers standard line voltage control panels, lighting whips, and branch circuit device terminations in commercial work.
4) Is this a copper ring terminal or aluminum?
The barrel and tongue are copper, so it is for copper conductors only. Do not land aluminum wire in it; aluminum requires an AL/CU rated connector with the proper oxide inhibitor.
5) Why choose a ring terminal instead of a spade or fork terminal here?
A ring is captive. Once the #8 screw is tightened the conductor cannot back out if the screw loosens, which is why ring terminals are the usual choice for ground screws, motor leads, and anything that sees vibration. A fork terminal is faster to service because you only loosen the screw, but it can slip off. For panel work that gets inspected or vibrated, the ring wins.
6) What crimp tool do I need for a 22-16 AWG insulated ring terminal?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper on the red nest, matched to the 22-16 AWG range. An uninsulated-terminal die will cut through the vinyl sleeve and ruin the strain relief. No tool ships with the terminal, so order the crimper separately if your crew is not already carrying one.
7) Can I use the Sta-Kon RA867-170 on a ground screw in a device box?
Yes, provided the ground screw is a #8 and the conductor is 22-16 AWG copper. That combination is common on fixture whips and low-current equipment grounds. For a standard 12 or 14 AWG branch-circuit ground you need a larger terminal; this one will not accept that wire.
8) Does the vinyl insulation on this Sta-Kon terminal cover the wire insulation too?
It is an expanded-barrel vinyl insulated terminal, so the sleeve is sized to accept the conductor insulation as well as the bare strands. That gives you strain relief at the crimp and keeps bare copper from showing at the back of the barrel.
9) Is the RA867-170 made in the USA for jobs with domestic sourcing requirements?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what government, healthcare, and institutional buyers with domestic content language in the spec need on the submittal.
