Sta-Kon RE10711 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RE10711 ring terminal take?
The RE10711 is sized for 6 AWG wire. It's a nylon insulated ring terminal, so the barrel is crimped onto stranded copper conductor of that gauge. Using it on a smaller gauge leaves the strands loose in the barrel and the crimp won't hold, so match the conductor to 6 AWG.
2) Will the RE10711 fit a 1/4 inch stud or screw?
Yes. The RE10711 ring tongue is a 1/4 inch stud size, so it lands on a 1/4-20 or 1/4 inch terminal stud, breaker lug screw, or ground bolt. A #10 stud will leave the ring loose under the washer, and anything larger than 1/4 inch will not pass through.
3) Is this ring terminal rated for 600 volt circuits?
600 V is the rating on the RE10711, which covers typical commercial branch circuit, panel, and control wiring. It also carries UL file E9809, so it's an acceptable terminal where inspectors want a listed connector.
4) Do I need a special crimper for a 6 AWG insulated ring terminal?
Yes. A 6 AWG barrel is well past the range of a common hand crimper for 22-10 AWG insulated terminals. You need a heavy duty insulated-terminal crimp tool or a hydraulic/ratchet crimper with a die sized for 6 AWG. Crimping it with an undersized tool deforms the nylon sleeve and gives you a connection that will loosen and heat up.
5) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork/spade terminal on a panel stud?
Use the ring style, like the RE10711, anywhere the connection is subject to vibration or can't be allowed to back out, because the nut has to be fully removed for the terminal to come off. A fork or spade slides out from under a loosened screw, which makes it faster to service but a poor choice on motor connections, grounding studs, or equipment that vibrates. Many inspectors and spec sheets call for ring tongues on grounding terminations for that reason.
6) Is the RE10711 conductor copper, and can I use it on aluminum wire?
The terminal body is copper, so it's intended for copper conductors. Aluminum wire requires a connector marked AL or AL9CU along with the proper inhibitor compound, so this one is not the right part for an aluminum feeder.
7) Why is this terminal blue, and does the color mean anything?
The blue nylon insulation on Sta-Kon terminals is a color code for the wire range. Blue on the RE10711 corresponds to its 6 AWG size, which lets an electrician or inspector confirm from across the panel that the right terminal went on the right conductor. In the common small-gauge color code red is 22-16 AWG and blue 16-14, so always read the printed size rather than assuming from color alone on heavier terminals.
8) What is the exact part number and country of origin for ordering this Sta-Kon terminal?
Order it as Sta-Kon RE10711, the manufacturer part number for the blue nylon insulated 6 AWG ring terminal with a 1/4 inch stud hole. It is manufactured in Mexico.
