Sta-Kon RBD18277M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RBD18277M female disconnect accept?
The RBD18277M is a 16-14 AWG terminal. The blue insulation is the standard color code for that range, so if you are sorting a bin by color, blue is your 16-14 gauge. Crimp it with the die station matched to 16-14 stranded wire; stripping back further than the barrel length leaves bare copper outside the nylon sleeve.
2) What does the "TAPE" in the RBD18277M description mean, and will it work in my crimp tool?
Tape means the terminals come tape mounted on a reel for a semi-automatic or automatic applicator, not loose in a bag. If you are crimping by hand with a standard hand tool, you want loose-piece terminals instead. Tape-mounted strips are for production panel shops and harness benches running a bench press applicator.
3) Is the insulation on this blue disconnect nylon or vinyl, and does it matter?
Nylon/polyamide, not vinyl. It matters on two counts: nylon takes higher operating temperature and resists abrasion and solvents better than a PVC sleeve, and it holds its shape when the terminal is pulled on and off a tab repeatedly. If a spec sheet or inspector calls for a fully insulated nylon disconnect, this meets that description; a vinyl terminal does not.
4) Is the Sta-Kon RBD18277M UL listed?
It carries UL file E66716. That is the record a plans examiner or electrical inspector will ask for on a panel build or control wiring job.
5) Are these Sta-Kon terminals made in the USA for a Buy American spec?
Country of origin on the RBD18277M is the United States. That is the line item a government, healthcare, or federally funded institutional buyer needs when a Buy American or domestic preference clause is on the purchase order.
6) What is the conductor barrel made of on this Sta-Kon disconnect?
Brass. Brass barrels are standard on quick-disconnect terminals because the receptacle has to stay springy through repeated plug and unplug cycles, which a soft copper barrel will not do. Pair it with copper stranded wire; it is not intended for aluminum conductors.
7) What part number do I order for this 16-14 AWG .187 female disconnect?
Order Sta-Kon RBD18277M. One model, no finish or size options to pick, so the part number alone fully specifies it.
