Sta-Kon RG9711 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What stud size does the Sta-Kon RG9711 ring terminal fit?
The RG9711 is a 1/4 inch ring terminal, so it lands on a 1/4 inch stud, screw or bolt. The ring tongue slides over the stud and is held by the nut, which is why it stays put under vibration better than a spade or fork tongue that can back off a loosened screw.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RG9711 ring terminal rated for 600 volt control and panel work?
Yes, it carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809, which covers the typical control panel, motor control center and lighting circuit terminations an electrical contractor or MRO shop deals with.
3) What does the red insulation on a Sta-Kon ring terminal tell me about wire size?
Red is the standard color code for the smallest Sta-Kon insulated range, and this one is color coded red with nylon insulation. Match the barrel to the conductor you are crimping and use the die station on your crimp tool that corresponds to the red range; crimping a larger conductor into a red barrel will not give you a sound termination.
4) Why choose a nylon insulated ring terminal over a vinyl insulated one?
Nylon insulation, which is what the RG9711 uses, holds up better to abrasion and to higher operating temperatures than vinyl, and it resists cracking when the barrel is crimped hard. For panel builds and any termination that gets handled, pulled through a wireway, or runs warm, nylon is the one to specify; vinyl is the lower cost choice for benign indoor work.
5) Is the barrel on this Sta-Kon ring terminal copper or aluminum?
Copper. That matters because a copper barrel is for copper conductors only, and it gives you a low resistance joint without the oxide problems you get mixing metals. Do not use it on aluminum conductors; those need a terminal rated AL/CU with the appropriate compound.
6) Will the RG9711 ring terminal stay connected on equipment that vibrates?
A closed ring tongue cannot slip off the stud while the nut is still threaded on, which is why ring terminals like this 1/4 inch Sta-Kon are the usual pick for motors, compressors, rooftop units and anything else that shakes. Spade and fork tongues are faster to service but can walk off a stud that loosens.
7) Do I need a special tool to crimp Sta-Kon insulated terminals?
Crimp it with a ratcheting tool set up for insulated terminals, using the die station matched to the red range. Pliers or an unrated crimper deform the nylon sleeve and leave a joint that fails pull-out. The insulated barrel is not meant to be soldered.
