Sta-Kon RA28V – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RA28V disconnect take?
The RA28V is sized for 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 conductor, which is the red color band in the standard terminal color code. In AWG terms that range covers roughly 22 through 16 gauge stranded wire. Crimping it onto anything heavier than 1.5 mm2 will not seat in the barrel, and anything finer than 0.5 mm2 risks pulling out of the crimp.
2) Is the RA28V a male or female disconnect, and what does it push onto?
It is the female half, so it slides onto a male tab or the matching male disconnect blade. If you are terminating the spade side of a switch, relay, or motor connection, the female is what goes on the wire; you need the male counterpart only when both ends are wire-to-wire.
3) Is this disconnect fully insulated, and can I use it where the terminal may be touched?
Yes, the RA28V is a fully insulated terminal, meaning the sleeve covers the barrel and the receptacle body rather than just the crimp barrel. That is what you want in a control panel or junction box where adjacent terminals sit close together and an exposed blade could short or be contacted.
4) Why is this disconnect red, and does the color mean anything on the job?
Red is the trade color code for the 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 wire range, so an inspector or the next electrician can tell at a glance what gauge is under the crimp. It also tells you which die or nest to use on a color-coded crimp tool. The color is not a voltage or circuit marking.
5) Do I need a special tool to crimp the RA28V?
A ratcheting crimper with an insulated-terminal nest matched to the red 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 band is what this terminal is made for. Because the sleeve is rigid polycarbonate rather than soft vinyl, a plier-style squeeze crimp tends to distort the body instead of forming the barrel properly, so use the proper die.
6) What is the insulation on the Sta-Kon RA28V made of?
Polycarbonate. It is a rigid sleeve rather than soft vinyl, so it holds its shape when the connector is pushed and pulled off a tab repeatedly, and it resists cracking better than brittle low-cost sleeving during crimping.
7) What part number do I order for this red fully insulated female disconnect, and where is it made?
Order it as Sta-Kon RA28V, the manufacturer part number. Country of origin is Sweden, which matters on jobs where you have to document sourcing for a submittal or procurement record.
