Sta-Kon RE6-10 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RE6-10 ring terminal take?
The RE6-10 is built for 6 AWG conductor. It's a nylon insulated ring terminal with a copper barrel, so it crimps onto 6 AWG stranded copper. If your conductor is 8 or 4 AWG, this is the wrong barrel size and the crimp will not hold.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RE6-10 rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes, the RE6-10 carries a 600 V rating, which covers standard commercial branch circuits, panel terminations, and motor control wiring. It's also UL listed under file E9809.
3) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork terminal for a 6 AWG panel connection?
Use the ring, like the RE6-10, anywhere the connection is subject to vibration or where a loose lug would be a hazard: the ring is captive on the No. 10 stud and cannot back off sideways if the screw loosens. A fork or spade is only worth it when you need to pull the conductor without removing the screw, which on a 6 AWG feed is rarely the deciding factor.
4) Can I crimp the Sta-Kon RE6-10 with a standard hand tool?
At 6 AWG the barrel is beyond the range of the small insulated-terminal pliers used for 22 to 10 AWG work. You need a crimper rated for 6 AWG insulated terminals, matched to the blue color code. A crimp made with an undersized die won't hold the conductor and won't meet the UL listing conditions the terminal is listed under.
5) Is the RE6-10 suitable for aluminum conductor?
No. The barrel is copper and the terminal is specified for 6 AWG, so use it on copper conductor only. Aluminum feeders need a lug marked AL or AL9CU with the appropriate inhibitor compound.
6) Why is the RE6-10 terminal blue?
Blue is the color code on the nylon insulation and it identifies the wire range, not a finish choice. On a panel with mixed gauges, the blue sleeve tells an electrician at a glance that the lug is the 6 AWG barrel. Pick your crimp die by that color band as well.
7) Does the nylon insulation on the RE6-10 hold up better than vinyl?
Nylon is the tougher sleeve of the two. It resists abrasion and cut-through when a 6 AWG conductor is pulled through a tight gutter or bundled against other lugs, where thin vinyl can split. The RE6-10 uses a nylon sleeve over a copper barrel.
8) What is the exact part number and origin for the Sta-Kon 6 AWG blue ring terminal?
Order it as Sta-Kon RE6-10. It's manufactured in Mexico. The designation breaks down as RE (insulated ring), 6 for the 6 AWG wire range, and 10 for the No. 10 stud hole.
