Sta-Kon RBC14-14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RBC14-14 ring terminal take?
The RBC14-14 is sized for 16-14 AWG stranded copper wire. The green nylon insulation is the color code for that range, so if you are pulling 12 AWG or 18 AWG you need a different barrel size, not this one.
2) Will the RBC14-14 ring terminal fit a 1/4 inch stud or screw?
Yes. The RBC14-14 has a 1/4 inch ring tongue, so it lands on a 1/4-20 stud, terminal block screw, or ground screw of that size. The ring is a closed tongue, so the fastener has to come out to install it, unlike a spade or flanged fork terminal.
3) Is this Sta-Kon ring terminal rated for 600 volt circuits?
Rated 600 V, and UL recognized under file E9809. That covers typical line-voltage control panel, motor connection, and branch circuit work at 600 V or less.
4) What is the difference between a heavy-duty nylon insulated ring terminal and a standard vinyl one?
The RBC14-14 is a heavy-duty nylon insulated ring terminal. Nylon insulation is tougher and more abrasion and heat resistant than vinyl, and the heavy-duty build means a thicker copper barrel and tongue for higher pull-out strength. For panel work, motor leads, and anything that sees vibration or repeated service, that is the version to spec. Standard vinyl insulated rings are the lighter-duty, general-purpose choice.
5) Is the barrel on the RBC14-14 copper, and can I use it on aluminum conductors?
The barrel is copper, so it is intended for copper conductors only. Aluminum wire needs a terminal marked AL or AL9CU with the correct inhibitor compound; putting aluminum in a copper-only barrel risks a corroded, high-resistance joint.
6) How do I crimp the Sta-Kon RBC14-14 correctly?
Use a controlled-cycle Sta-Kon style crimp tool matched to the 16-14 AWG insulated barrel; the green insulation is the nest color reference on most insulated-terminal crimpers. Strip only to the barrel depth, bottom the conductor, and crimp over the barrel so the nylon sleeve supports the wire. Generic pliers deform the barrel and cost you the pull-out strength you paid for with a heavy-duty terminal.
7) Can I use green insulated ring terminals for anything other than ground connections?
Green on an insulated terminal is the manufacturer's wire-size code, not a grounding designation. On the RBC14-14 it means 16-14 AWG. It works fine on grounds, but it is equally a hot or neutral terminal, so do not read color as circuit function when you pull one out of the bin.
8) Are these Sta-Kon ring terminals made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin on the RBC14-14 is the United States, which is what most government, institutional, and federally funded projects need documented for electrical fittings.
