Sta-Kon RA857 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA857 ring terminal crimp onto?
The RA857 takes 22 to 16 AWG stranded or solid copper conductor. That red insulation is the standard color code for the 22-16 range, so if you are pulling 14 AWG or larger you need the next size up (blue for 16-14, yellow for 12-10) rather than forcing this barrel.
2) Will the RA857 ring terminal fit a #6 screw or stud?
Yes, the ring tongue on the RA857 is sized for a No. 6 bolt or screw stud. It will not pass over a #8 or #10 stud, so for larger terminal screws on a breaker or terminal block you need a ring terminal in the same 22-16 wire range with a bigger tongue.
3) Can I use a 22-16 AWG insulated ring terminal on a 480V control circuit?
The RA857 carries a 600 V rating, so it covers 120V, 277V and 480V control and power circuits within its conductor range. The vinyl sleeve provides the insulation over the crimp barrel.
4) Is the Sta-Kon RA857 UL recognized?
It carries UL file E9809. That is the detail institutional and MRO buyers need when terminations have to be listed components in a panel or control enclosure.
5) Why choose a ring terminal instead of a fork or spade terminal for a 22-16 AWG wire?
A ring tongue has to come off over the screw, but it cannot vibrate loose sideways the way a fork or spade can, which is why ring terminals are specified for motor leads, equipment grounds and anything that sees vibration. Use a spade when the screw stays captive and you need to drop the wire in without removing the screw entirely. The RA857 is the ring version for 22-16 AWG on a No. 6 stud.
6) Is the RA857 ring terminal copper or aluminum, and can I put it on aluminum wire?
The barrel is copper, so it is for copper conductor only. Crimping copper onto aluminum wire creates a dissimilar-metal joint that corrodes, so aluminum branch conductors need a connector specifically rated AL/CU.
7) What crimp tool do I need for a Sta-Kon RA857 red insulated terminal?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper on its red die nest, matching the 22-16 AWG color code. The vinyl sleeve is meant to be crimped through along with the barrel in one cycle, so a bare-terminal or open-barrel die will cut the insulation instead of forming it.
8) Is the Sta-Kon RA857 made in the USA?
Country of origin on the RA857 is the United States, which matters if you are filling a government or institutional order with domestic sourcing language in the spec.
9) What is the exact part number to order for the red 22-16 AWG #6 ring terminal?
Order Sta-Kon RA857. One model covers the range: red vinyl insulated ring terminal, 22-16 AWG, No. 6 bolt size.
