Sta-Kon RE10721 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is a nylon insulated ring terminal rated for 600 volt control and panel wiring?
Yes. The Sta-Kon RE10721 carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809, which covers it for typical panel, motor connection, and control circuit work at or below 600 volts.
2) Should I use a ring terminal or a spade terminal on a 6 AWG feeder connection?
A ring terminal like the RE10721 is the choice where the connection cannot be allowed to back off the stud. The ring is closed, so the lug stays captive even if the nut loosens. A spade (fork) terminal slides off sideways, which makes it faster to service but unacceptable on vibration-prone or safety connections. Many panel specs require ring tongues for exactly that reason.
3) Is the RE10721 terminal copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum conductors?
The barrel is copper, so it is intended for copper conductors. Aluminum wire needs a terminal specifically marked AL or AL/CU with the proper inhibitor compound; putting bare copper on aluminum creates a dissimilar metal joint that corrodes and loosens.
4) Do I need a special crimper for a 6 AWG insulated ring terminal?
Yes. A 6 AWG barrel is beyond the range of the small hand crimpers used for 22 to 10 AWG insulated terminals. You need a heavy duty crimp tool with a die sized for 6 AWG insulated terminals, and the tool should match the Sta-Kon style barrel so the nylon sleeve is not split during the crimp.
5) Does the nylon insulation on the Sta-Kon 6 AWG ring terminal need extra heat shrink or tape?
No added sleeving is needed for insulation purposes. The terminal comes with a factory nylon insulating sleeve over the barrel, which is what gives it the 600 V rating. Installers sometimes add heat shrink for strain relief or extra abrasion protection, but it is not required to make the connection compliant.
6) How do I identify the right blue 6 AWG ring terminal when ordering for a job?
Order by the manufacturer part number RE10721, a Sta-Kon nylon insulated ring terminal for 6 AWG wire with a 5/16 inch ring. Blue is the insulation color on this item. It is manufactured in Mexico.
