Sta-Kon RB14-4X – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RB14-4X ring terminal crimp onto?
The RB14-4X takes 18 to 14 AWG stranded copper conductor. The blue nylon insulation is the standard color code for that gauge band, so if you're working off color alone, blue barrels on a panel are the 16/14 range. Anything heavier than 14 AWG needs a yellow-band terminal instead.
2) What size stud or screw does this blue ring terminal fit?
It's a No. 4 ring, so it goes over a #4 screw or stud. That's a small terminal block or low voltage device screw, not a 10-32 ground lug. For a #10 stud you need the No. 10 ring in the same 18-14 AWG blue family.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RB14-4X UL listed, and what voltage can I use it at?
It carries UL file E9809 and is rated 600 V. That covers typical control panel, motor control, and line-voltage device wiring in commercial work. For MRO and institutional specs that require a listed termination, the UL file number is the one to cite.
4) Why choose a ring terminal over a fork or spade terminal for a panel connection?
The ring is a closed barrel, so the conductor can't back off the screw if the screw loosens with vibration. A fork or spade slips off sideways once the screw backs out, which is why they're used where you want to drop a wire without pulling the screw. For permanent terminations on equipment that vibrates, go with the ring. The tradeoff is that you have to fully remove the screw to install this RB14-4X.
5) Is the barrel on this Sta-Kon terminal copper or aluminum?
Copper barrel with nylon insulation over it. Copper means it's for copper conductor only, not aluminum wire, and the nylon sleeve handles higher temperature and abrasion better than the vinyl-insulated equivalents.
6) Do I need a special crimper for Sta-Kon RB14-4X terminals?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper set up for the 18-14 AWG (blue) nest. A standard insulated-terminal tool with color-coded dies works; the crimp is made through the nylon sleeve onto the copper barrel, so a bare-terminal die will crush the insulation and give you an unreliable pull. No sealant or heat is involved with this terminal.
7) Is the Sta-Kon RB14-4X made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what government, education, and healthcare procurement needs on record for domestic-preference requirements. The orderable part number is RB14-4X.
