Sta-Kon RB2517 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RB2517 male disconnect crimp onto?
The RB2517 is sized for 16-14 AWG stranded wire, which is what the blue insulation color signals on a crimp terminal. Run it on 12 AWG and the barrel won't close properly; for 22-16 AWG you need the red-coded size instead.
2) Will a .250 tab male disconnect mate with my existing quick-disconnect receptacles?
It mates with any standard 1/4 inch (.250) female quick-disconnect. The RB2517 is the male half with a 250 tab, so pair it with a .250 female terminal or a .250 blade receptacle on appliances, motors, blowers, and control panels. A .187 or .312 female will not fit.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RB2517 rated for 600 volt control wiring?
Yes, it carries a 600 V rating, so it's usable on standard 120/208/240/480 V control and power circuits within that limit. It's UL recognized under file E66716.
4) Do I need a special crimper for Sta-Kon insulated disconnects?
Use a crimper matched to insulated terminals in the 16-14 AWG range, the blue-coded die nest on a standard insulated terminal tool. A bare-terminal or open-barrel die will crush the vinyl sleeve and leave a weak crimp.
5) Is the terminal barrel on the RB2517 brass or steel?
Brass, with vinyl insulation over the barrel. Brass gives you better conductivity than plated steel on a crimp joint, and the vinyl sleeve covers the crimp so the connection is insulated once it's made, no heat shrink or tape needed.
6) Are these male disconnects made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin on the RB2517 is the United States, which is what a government or institutional buyer working a domestic-preference spec needs to document.
7) What part number do I order to standardize blue 16-14 AWG male disconnects across my shop?
Order Sta-Kon RB2517. One model number covers the blue 16-14 AWG vinyl insulated male .250 tab disconnect, so there's no handing, length, or finish option to specify, which makes it straightforward to stock in bulk for MRO carts.
