Sta-Kon RA723 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA723 ring terminal crimp onto?
The RA723 is sized for 22 to 16 AWG stranded copper conductor. That's the red insulation color code, which is how you spot a 22-16 terminal in a mixed bin without reading the barrel. Anything larger, like 14 or 12 AWG, needs a blue or yellow body instead.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RA723 terminal rated for 600 volt control and power circuits?
Yes, the RA723 carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809. That covers typical 120/208/240/480 V control panel and motor connection work for electrical contractors and panel builders.
3) Can I use the RA723 on aluminum wire?
No. The RA723 barrel is copper, which makes it a copper-conductor-only terminal. Aluminum conductor needs an AL/CU rated connector with the proper inhibitor compound; putting aluminum in a copper-only barrel sets up galvanic corrosion at the crimp.
4) What is the difference between a ring terminal like the RA723 and a spade (fork) terminal?
The RA723 is a closed ring: the screw has to come all the way out to install or remove it, but once it's torqued the connection cannot vibrate off the stud. A fork or spade terminal slides in under a loosened screw, which is faster for service work but can back out. For motor leads, ground studs, and anything on a vibrating machine, use the ring.
5) Do I need a special crimper for Sta-Kon RA723 terminals?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper with a red 22-16 AWG nest, matched to the terminal color. A plain pliers-style or uninsulated-die tool crushes the nylon barrel and gives you a connection that won't hold pull-out. The terminal itself is copper under the insulation, so a proper die forms the barrel around the strands without cracking it.
6) Is the Sta-Kon RA723 made in the USA for jobs with domestic sourcing requirements?
Country of origin on the RA723 ring terminal is the United States. That matters on government, military, and institutional work where the submittal package has to show domestic content.
7) What is the exact part number to order for a red 22-16 AWG, 5/16 inch ring terminal from Sta-Kon?
Order Sta-Kon RA723. The RA prefix is the nylon insulated ring series, and 723 identifies the 22-16 AWG wire range with the 5/16 inch stud hole. Changing the stud size or the wire range changes the number, so confirm both before you buy in bulk.
8) Does the nylon insulation on the RA723 hold up better than vinyl?
The RA723 uses a nylon insulated barrel rather than vinyl. Nylon resists abrasion and cut-through where leads are pulled through a wireway or bundled tight, and it holds its shape during crimping better than vinyl. It also carries the funnel entry that helps you get all the strands into the barrel.
