Sta-Kon RB14-6X – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RB14-6X ring terminal accept?
The RB14-6X takes 18 to 14 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. That is the blue insulation color band, which is the standard trade code for the 16-14 range terminals, so if you have a bin of mixed terminals the blue barrel is the one for 18-14 AWG. Anything heavier, like 12 or 10 AWG, will not crimp properly in this barrel and you need the next size up.
2) Is this ring terminal UL listed for use in a panel inspection?
The RB14-6X carries UL file E9809. That is the UL listing reference an inspector or a submittal package can be pointed at for terminal connectors.
3) Should I use a ring terminal or a spade terminal on a terminal block?
A ring terminal like the RB14-6X is the one to use where the connection cannot be allowed to back out: the ring captures the screw completely, so loosening the screw does not release the wire. A spade or fork terminal is faster to install and remove because it slides out sideways without pulling the screw, which is why it gets used on equipment that is serviced often. For motor starters, ground screws, and anything subject to vibration, use the ring.
4) Is the RB14-6X terminal copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum wire?
The barrel is copper, so this terminal is for copper conductors only. Aluminum wire needs a connector specifically marked AL or AL9CU with the appropriate inhibitor compound; crimping aluminum into a copper barrel sets up a dissimilar metal joint that corrodes and loosens.
5) Does nylon insulation hold up better than vinyl on these ring terminals?
Nylon is the tougher of the two insulation sleeves. It resists abrasion, cut-through, and solvents better than vinyl, which is why it gets specified for machine wiring, panel harnesses, and anywhere the leads get pulled through a raceway or flexed. The RB14-6X uses a nylon sleeve.
6) Is the Sta-Kon RB14-6X made in the USA for a Buy American submittal?
Country of origin on the RB14-6X is the United States. For federal, military, or public works jobs with domestic sourcing language, that is the origin to list on the submittal.
7) What part number do I order for a blue 18-14 AWG No. 6 ring terminal from Sta-Kon?
The manufacturer part number is RB14-6X. In the Sta-Kon naming, that is the blue (18-14 AWG) nylon insulated ring with a No. 6 tongue.
