Sta-Kon RBB23 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon RBB23 nylon aircraft splice accept?
The RBB23 is sized for 16-14 AWG stranded copper conductors, and the blue insulation is the standard color code for that range. Both ends take the same gauge range, so it is a straight butt splice for joining two 16-14 AWG wires, not a step-down splice.
2) Is this splice copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum wire?
The barrel is copper, so use it on copper conductors only. Splicing aluminum with a copper-only barrel creates a dissimilar metal joint that corrodes; aluminum needs an AL/CU rated connector instead.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RBB23 splice UL listed?
It is covered under UL file E9809. That is the detail an institutional or MRO inspector asks for when the splice goes into a panel or fixture whitelabeled for code compliance.
4) What is the difference between a nylon insulated splice and a vinyl insulated one?
Nylon, like the sleeve on the RBB23, is tougher against abrasion and solvents and holds a higher temperature rating, here 105 degrees C. Vinyl insulated butt splices are the cheaper choice for low temperature, protected indoor runs. If the splice is pulled through a raceway, exposed to oil, or sits in a hot fixture, go nylon.
5) Do I need a special crimper for Sta-Kon RBB23 splices?
Yes, these are crimp splices, not solder or screw type. Crimp them with a tool matched to insulated barrel terminals in the blue 16-14 AWG nest. A tool that only has nests for non-insulated barrels will cut the nylon sleeve instead of forming it.
6) Is the Sta-Kon RBB23 made in the USA?
Country of origin on the RBB23 splice is the United States, which matters on government and federally funded jobs with domestic sourcing requirements.
7) What part number do I order for the blue 16-14 AWG Sta-Kon aircraft splice?
Order Sta-Kon RBB23. There is one configuration, so no finish, length or packaging suffix has to be specified.
