Sta-Kon 18RAD-188 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon 18RAD-188 male disconnect crimp onto?
The 18RAD-188 is sized for 22-18 AWG stranded wire, which is the red insulation color code on Sta-Kon terminals. If you are terminating 16-14 AWG, this is the wrong barrel size and the crimp will not hold.
2) Is this Sta-Kon disconnect UL recognized?
The 18RAD-188 carries UL file E66716. That is the detail an institutional or MRO electrical buyer needs for panel and control work where only listed terminations are accepted.
3) What is the Sta-Kon 18RAD-188 terminal made of, and is the insulation heat resistant?
Brass barrel and tab with a vinyl insulating sleeve. Vinyl is standard for general control and appliance wiring at ordinary temperatures; for high heat applications near motors or ballasts, use a nylon insulated or uninsulated terminal with heat shrink instead.
4) Should I use a male tab disconnect or a ring terminal for my connection?
Use the 18RAD-188 male .187 tab when the joint has to come apart without tools, such as service disconnects on fans, thermostats, relays and appliance harnesses. Ring or spade terminals under a screw are the right choice when the connection is permanent and lands on a terminal block or stud.
5) Do I need a special crimper for the 18RAD-188?
It is an insulated crimp terminal, so it needs an insulated-barrel crimp tool matched to the red 22-18 AWG color code. A plain uninsulated jaw or pliers will crush the vinyl sleeve and leave an unreliable crimp.
6) Where is the Sta-Kon 18RAD-188 made?
Made in the United States. That matters on government and institutional jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements for electrical components.
7) What is the exact part number to order for this red .187 male disconnect?
Order Sta-Kon 18RAD-188. That single model number covers the red vinyl insulated male .187 tab disconnect for 22-18 AWG; there are no finish or size options to specify.
