Sta-Kon RA18-250A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA18-250A flag disconnect crimp onto?
The RA18-250A takes 22 to 18 AWG stranded wire, which is the standard red insulation color code for that range. The barrel is brass with a nylon insulating sleeve over it.
2) Will the RA18-250A fit a 1/4 inch male tab on a motor or contactor?
Yes. It is a female .250 series disconnect, meaning it slides onto a 1/4 inch wide male blade tab, the size used on most fractional horsepower motors, relays, contactors and appliance terminals.
3) What does the 90 degree flag style do that a straight disconnect won't?
The flag body turns the wire 90 degrees off the tab instead of running straight back from it. That is what you want when the terminal sits in a tight enclosure, close to a panel wall, or where a straight terminal would force a sharp bend in the conductor right at the crimp. If you have room behind the tab, a standard straight female .250 disconnect is the simpler choice.
4) What is the exact part number to order this Sta-Kon flag disconnect?
Order Sta-Kon RA18-250A. One model covers the 22-18 AWG, .250 female flag configuration, so there is no finish or size option to specify.
5) Why is this one called an open top disconnect?
The open top refers to the insulation sleeve, which is open at the crimp end so you can see the conductor seated in the barrel before you crimp. Easier to verify a good termination than with a fully closed sleeve, and it still gives you nylon insulation over the brass barrel once crimped.
6) Does nylon insulation hold up better than vinyl on these disconnects?
Nylon/polyamide sleeves are tougher than vinyl against abrasion and handling damage and tolerate higher operating temperatures, which is why they get specified for control panels and motor connections where terminals get pulled on and off. The RA18-250A uses nylon.
