Sta-Kon 14RB-8CP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon 14RB-8CP ring terminal crimp onto?
The 14RB-8CP accepts 18 to 14 AWG stranded copper wire. The blue insulation is the standard color code for that gauge band, so on a panel where you are also running red (22-16) and yellow (12-10) terminals, blue tells the next tech this is the 18-14 crimp without reading the barrel.
2) What stud or screw size does the No. 8 ring on this Sta-Kon terminal fit?
The ring is sized for a No. 8 stud or screw, which is what the 8 in 14RB-8CP designates. It slips over a #8 machine screw or terminal stud; a #10 stud will not pass through, and on a #6 stud the ring will float, so use the matching ring size for that post.
3) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork terminal on a control panel terminal block?
A ring terminal like the 14RB-8CP is the one to use where the connection cannot be allowed to back out, since the stud passes through a closed ring and the lug stays captive even if the screw loosens. A fork or spade slides off sideways, which is faster for service work on a crowded block but is not acceptable on vibration-prone equipment or where code or a spec calls for a captive connection. For a #8 stud on a motor, contactor or grounding point, use the ring.
4) Is the barrel on the Sta-Kon 14RB-8CP copper or aluminum?
Copper, with a vinyl insulating sleeve over the barrel. That means it is for copper conductors only, not aluminum wire, and it should be crimped with a tool matched to insulated terminals so the sleeve supports the wire instead of being cut through.
5) What is the exact part number to order for a blue 18-14 AWG, #8 ring terminal from Sta-Kon?
Order Sta-Kon MPN 14RB-8CP. It is the blue vinyl insulated ring terminal for 18-14 AWG copper wire on a No. 8 stud, rated 600 V.
6) Are these ring terminals made in the USA?
Yes. The Sta-Kon 14RB-8CP is manufactured in the United States, which matters if you are filling a government, school district or federally funded job carrying a domestic sourcing requirement.
