Sta-Kon RBC873YM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RBC873YM ring terminal take?
The RBC873YM is sized for 14-12 AWG conductors. The yellow nylon insulation is the color code on this part, so don't confuse it with the usual yellow 12-10 convention on some other brands, this one is built for 14-12 AWG.
2) What voltage is the Sta-Kon RBC873YM rated for?
300 volts. That covers typical control panel, appliance, and low-voltage power wiring. It is not a part to use on higher-voltage feeders.
3) What is the difference between a heavy-duty nylon ring terminal and a standard vinyl insulated one?
Two things. The insulation here is nylon rather than vinyl, which holds up better to abrasion and to the heat of a crowded panel, and the barrel on a heavy-duty terminal is a thicker wall than a standard-duty crimp. On the RBC873YM that pairs a nylon sleeve with a heavy-duty barrel for 14-12 AWG. If you are terminating in a wire duct or anywhere the lead gets pulled, this is the type to specify over a standard vinyl ring.
4) Should I use a ring terminal or a spade terminal on a panel screw?
Use the ring where the connection carries load or vibration and you cannot afford the lead backing off. A ring like the RBC873YM captures the No. 10 stud completely, so the wire stays put even if the screw loosens slightly. A spade or fork terminal only makes sense when you need to service the connection without fully removing the screw, and it gives up that captive advantage.
5) Is the Sta-Kon RBC873YM made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the RBC873YM is the United States. That matters if you are buying against a Buy American or domestic-content requirement on a government or institutional job.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for Sta-Kon insulated ring terminals?
Use a controlled-cycle insulated terminal crimper matched to the 14-12 AWG range, not a general-purpose plier crimper. Nylon insulated heavy-duty barrels need the full crimp cycle to bottom out properly; an incomplete crimp on a 14-12 conductor is the usual cause of a hot connection later. The die color band on most insulated crimpers for 14-12 is yellow, matching the terminal.
