Sta-Kon RE717 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RE717 ring terminal take?
The RE717 is sized for 6 AWG conductor. It is a nylon insulated ring terminal with a copper barrel, so it crimps onto 6 AWG stranded copper wire. If your conductor is 8 or 4 AWG, you need a different terminal in the series, since a crimp barrel only holds reliably on the gauge it is rated for.
2) Will the Sta-Kon RE717 fit a 1/4 inch stud or bolt?
Yes. The RE717 has a 1/4 inch ring tongue, so it lands on a #1/4-20 stud, bolt or terminal post. The ring style means the connection cannot slip off under vibration the way a spade terminal can, which is why it gets used on motor terminals, panel grounds and battery studs.
3) Should I use a nylon insulated ring terminal or a vinyl insulated one?
Nylon, like the RE717 body, holds up better to heat and abrasion and resists cracking when the barrel is crimped, which matters inside motor connection boxes and tight panels. Vinyl insulation is the lower-temperature option and tends to split on larger gauges. For 6 AWG on a 1/4 inch stud in a 600 V circuit, nylon is the usual spec.
4) Can I crimp the Sta-Kon RE717 with standard pliers-type crimpers?
At 6 AWG, no. Hand pliers crimpers are built for 22 to 10 AWG insulated terminals; a 6 AWG copper barrel needs a heavy-duty ratcheting or hydraulic crimper with the matching die for that gauge. An under-crimped 6 AWG ring terminal will heat up at the stud, so match the tool and die to the barrel size.
5) What does the blue color on the RE717 terminal mean?
Blue on the RE717 is the insulation color for its wire range, 6 AWG, not a decorative choice. Electricians use the color to sort terminals by gauge on the bench, so a blue nylon body in this Sta-Kon line tells you it is the 6 AWG size before you read the stamp.
6) What is the exact part number and origin for ordering the Sta-Kon blue 6 AWG ring terminal?
Order it as Sta-Kon RE717, a nylon insulated ring terminal, 6 AWG, 1/4 inch bolt size, blue. Country of origin is Mexico.
