Sta-Kon RAS18-6X – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RAS18-6X ring terminal accept?
The RAS18-6X takes 22 to 18 AWG stranded wire. Red is the standard color code for that gauge band, which is why the barrel and shrink sleeve are red. If you're terminating 16 to 14 AWG, this is the wrong size and you need the next band up (blue).
2) Is a heat shrink ring terminal worth it over a standard vinyl insulated ring terminal?
Yes, where moisture or vibration is in play. The RAS18-6X has a heat shrinkable insulation sleeve that you shrink down after crimping, so it grips the wire jacket and seals the barrel instead of leaving an open vinyl funnel. For dry indoor panel work a plain vinyl ring terminal does the same electrical job; for exterior fixtures, pump and HVAC equipment, rooftop units, or anything washed down, the sealed version is what you want.
3) Is the RAS18-6X terminal barrel copper or aluminum?
Copper. That means it's for copper conductors only, not aluminum, and it is not a dual rated AL/CU connector.
4) Do I need a special crimper for the Sta-Kon RAS18-6X?
You need a crimp tool with the die for the 22-18 AWG insulated terminal range, plus a heat source to shrink the sleeve after crimping. A heat gun is the normal tool for that step; crimping alone leaves the seal unset and you lose the moisture protection the terminal is built for.
5) Are Sta-Kon RAS18-6X terminals made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what institutional and government procurement typically needs documented on domestic sourcing requirements.
