Sta-Kon RBD1837 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RBD1837 female disconnect crimp onto?
The RBD1837 is sized for 16-14 AWG stranded or solid wire. The blue insulation is the standard color code for that gauge range, so on a panel where terminals are color-sorted, blue means 16-14. Running it on 18 AWG or 12 AWG will give you a crimp that either pulls out or won't close.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RBD1837 disconnect UL listed, and what voltage can I use it at?
It carries UL file E66716 and is rated 600 V. That covers line-voltage control panel, motor, and lighting-ballast work as well as low-voltage controls, which is what an MRO or institutional electrician usually needs documented for an inspection.
3) Is the RBD1837 terminal brass or steel, and does it matter for a copper wire connection?
The barrel and contact are brass, which is what you want against copper conductors, there is no dissimilar-metal issue the way there would be with aluminum wire. The body is covered in vinyl insulation rather than nylon, so it is fine for general panel and equipment work but keep it away from high-heat locations where nylon-insulated terminals are specified.
4) Should I use a female disconnect like the RBD1837 or a ring terminal?
Use a .187 female disconnect when the device has a male blade or tab and you want to pull the wire off without tools, typical on contactors, relays, switches, thermostats and fan motors. A ring or fork terminal is the better choice where the connection is a screw or stud. The RBD1837 is only the quick-connect half, it does not land under a screw.
5) Do I need a special crimper for the Sta-Kon RBD1837?
It is an insulated crimp terminal, so it needs an insulated-terminal crimp tool set to the blue (16-14 AWG) nest, not a bare-terminal or open-barrel die. Nothing else ships with the terminal itself, the tool is a separate purchase.
6) Is the Sta-Kon RBD1837 made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. That matters for Buy American and domestic-preference procurement on government, healthcare, and education jobs where the terminal has to be documented along with the rest of the panel components.
7) What is the exact part number to order for the blue .187 Sta-Kon female disconnect?
Order Sta-Kon RBD1837. That is the manufacturer part number for the vinyl insulated .187 female disconnect in blue for 16-14 AWG wire.
