Sta-Kon RE6-38 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RE6-38 ring terminal take?
The RE6-38 is sized for 6 AWG copper wire. The blue nylon insulation is the color code Sta-Kon uses on this part, so don't go by color alone if you're mixing brands on a panel - match the 6 AWG marking on the barrel.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RE6-38 copper or aluminum, and can I put it on aluminum wire?
The barrel is copper, so it's for copper conductors only. Terminating aluminum wire in a copper-only barrel risks galvanic corrosion and a hot joint - that job needs an AL9CU dual-rated connector.
3) Ring terminal or fork terminal for a 6 AWG connection to a 3/8 inch stud?
Use the ring style like the RE6-38 anywhere the connection carries vibration or can't be allowed to come loose - motor terminations, generator leads, grounding to a 3/8 inch stud. The ring is closed, so the conductor cannot back off the stud even if the nut loosens. A fork or spade terminal only makes sense where you need to pull the wire off without fully removing the nut, such as frequently serviced control terminal strips.
4) Is the Sta-Kon RE6-38 rated for 600 volt circuits?
It carries a 600 V rating, which covers typical commercial branch circuits, motor leads, control panels, and switchgear terminations. It is UL recognized under file E9809.
5) Does this terminal need a crimp tool, or can it be soldered?
It's a crimp barrel terminal. A 6 AWG copper conductor needs a heavy crimp tool or hydraulic/ratchet crimper with the correct die for the 6 AWG barrel; hand pliers will not produce a sound termination at this size. The nylon insulation stays on through the crimp and acts as the strain relief over the conductor.
6) Is nylon insulation better than vinyl for a ring terminal in a hot or oily location?
Nylon holds up better than vinyl against heat, abrasion, and oils, which is why it's the usual choice for engine compartments, motor connection boxes, and equipment rooms. The RE6-38 uses a nylon insulating sleeve over the copper barrel.
