Sta-Kon RA2517 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA2517 male disconnect crimp onto?
The RA2517 is sized for 22 to 18 AWG stranded wire, which is what the red insulation color signals on the Sta-Kon terminal range. If your conductor is 16 or 14 AWG, you need the blue-coded 16-14 AWG male disconnect instead, not this one.
2) Is the RA2517 disconnect rated for 600 volt control wiring?
It carries a 600 V rating, so it is suitable for line and control circuits up to that voltage, and it is UL recognized under file E66716. The vinyl sleeve provides the insulation at the crimp barrel and over the rear of the tab.
3) Do I need a male or female disconnect for the wire end on my equipment?
The RA2517 is the male half, meaning it carries the flat .250 tab and slides into a female receptacle. Use the male on the conductor you want to present as the tab, and a matching red 22-18 AWG female disconnect on the other conductor. Mixing genders on the same pair of wires is what lets the joint separate for service without tools.
4) Can I use the red RA2517 male disconnect on 20 AWG thermostat or control wire?
Yes, 20 AWG sits inside the 22-18 AWG range the RA2517 accepts, so a single 20 AWG stranded conductor crimps correctly in the barrel. Crimp it with a die matched to the red insulation color so the barrel compresses to the right depth rather than being flattened.
5) What is the Sta-Kon RA2517 terminal barrel made of?
Brass, with a vinyl insulating sleeve over it. Brass crimp barrels are the usual choice for quick-disconnect tabs because the material conducts well and holds a crimp without cracking. The part is made in the United States.
