Sta-Kon RG2-516 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RG2-516 ring terminal take?
The RG2-516 is sized for 2 AWG conductor. It's a one-size barrel, so it won't grip 4 AWG or smaller properly and won't accept 1/0. If your feeder is 2 AWG copper, this is the terminal; anything else needs a different size in the series.
2) Is this ring terminal rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes, the RG2-516 carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809. That covers standard commercial and industrial branch circuits, feeders, and 480Y/277 V panel work.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RG2-516 barrel copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum conductor?
The barrel is copper. It's a copper-to-copper termination, so use it on copper conductor only. Aluminum feeders need an AL or AL9CU rated lug instead, since a copper-only barrel on aluminum wire invites galvanic corrosion at the crimp.
4) Why does this Sta-Kon terminal have two bolt holes instead of one?
It's a two-hole tongue, so it lands on a pair of 5/16 inch studs spaced to the lug pattern rather than a single stud. Two bolts stop the lug from rotating under torque and spread the clamping load, which is why they get specified on busbars, panel grounds, and large motor terminations.
5) What does the red insulation on a Sta-Kon ring terminal mean?
On the RG2-516 the nylon sleeve is red, which is the color code Sta-Kon uses to identify this wire range at a glance. Color is an identification aid for the crimper and the inspector, not a voltage or polarity marking.
6) Does the nylon insulation on this ring terminal need separate heat shrink or tape?
No. The RG2-516 ships with the nylon insulating sleeve already over the barrel, so once it's crimped the conductor and barrel are covered to the 600 V rating without adding tape or shrink. Nylon also takes rough handling in a panel better than vinyl.
