Sta-Kon RBC713Y – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RBC713Y ring terminal accept?
The RBC713Y takes 14 to 12 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. That is the yellow color code on this terminal, so if you are pulling 16-14 AWG you want a blue-barrel terminal instead, and 10 AWG needs a larger barrel again.
2) What stud or screw size does the RBC713Y ring fit?
The ring is sized for a 1/4 inch stud or screw. It will drop over a 1/4-20 machine screw, a 1/4 inch terminal block stud, or a 1/4 inch ground lug bolt. Smaller #10 or #8 studs need a different ring size, since the oversized ring on a 1/4 inch terminal can shift under the washer and reduce contact area.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RBC713Y UL listed for use in a control panel?
Yes. The terminal carries UL file E9809 and CSA 4503, which is the recognition an inspector looks for on insulated terminals inside listed control panels and equipment enclosures.
4) Why choose a ring terminal instead of a fork or spade terminal?
A ring terminal has to be slipped over the stud, so the nut or screw comes all the way off during install, but it cannot vibrate off the stud once tightened. A fork or spade slides in sideways under a loosened screw, which is faster on a crowded terminal strip but can back out under vibration. For battery posts, grounding bolts, bus bars, and motor connections, the closed ring is the one to use. The RBC713Y is the 1/4 inch stud, 14-12 AWG version.
5) Is the insulation on the RBC713Y nylon or vinyl, and does it matter?
Nylon. Nylon sleeves resist abrasion and cut-through better than vinyl and hold up to higher temperatures and to oils and solvents, which is why they are specified on machinery and automotive work. The tradeoff is that nylon is stiffer, so a crimp tool with the correct nylon-insulated nest matters more than it does with vinyl.
6) What does "heavy-duty" mean on this Sta-Kon nylon ring terminal?
Heavy-duty refers to a thicker barrel and tongue than the standard-duty terminal of the same wire range, so it holds up better to repeated torquing on the stud and to pull on the wire. The RBC713Y is a nylon insulated heavy-duty ring terminal for 14-12 AWG on a 1/4 inch stud.
7) Is the Sta-Kon RBC713Y made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the RBC713Y ring terminal is the United States, which is what matters if you are filling a government or institutional order with a domestic-content requirement.
8) What is the Sta-Kon part number to order for a 1/4 inch yellow ring terminal?
Order Sta-Kon RBC713Y. It is the single orderable item here, so there are no finish, color, or size options to pick: yellow nylon, 14-12 AWG, 1/4 inch stud.
