Sta-Kon 14RBC-6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon 14RBC-6 ring terminal crimp onto?
The 14RBC-6 is sized for 16-14 AWG conductor. The green insulation is the color code for that range, so if you are pulling terminals out of a bin mid-job, green means 16-14 on Sta-Kon vinyl insulated terminals. For 22-16 AWG or 12-10 AWG you need a different terminal in the series.
2) Is this Sta-Kon ring terminal UL listed, and what voltage is it rated for?
Yes, it carries UL file E9809 and is rated 600 V. That covers it for standard 120/208 and 277/480 V control and branch circuit terminations on equipment and panel work.
3) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork terminal on a motor starter or control terminal block?
A ring terminal like the 14RBC-6 is the choice where the connection cannot be allowed to back out, because the screw has to be fully removed to release it. A fork or spade slides on under a loosened screw, which is faster for service but can vibrate free. On motors, vibrating equipment, and anything safety related, the ring wins. On a terminal strip you expect to re-land repeatedly, the fork saves time.
4) Is the barrel on the 14RBC-6 copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum conductor?
The conductor barrel is copper, so use it on copper wire only. Copper-bodied terminals are not dual-rated for aluminum conductor; aluminum needs an AL/CU rated lug with the appropriate inhibitor compound.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for Sta-Kon 14RBC-6 terminals?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper matched to the 16-14 AWG color code, which is green on this terminal. A color-coded or die-indexed crimper seats the barrel without cutting through the vinyl sleeve. Generic pliers-style crimpers flatten the insulation and leave an unreliable termination, and the UL rating assumes a proper crimp.
6) What does heavy-duty mean on this vinyl insulated ring terminal?
Heavy-duty refers to a thicker terminal body and barrel wall than a standard-duty terminal of the same 16-14 AWG range. Practical effect: more mechanical strength at the ring tongue and the crimp, which matters on equipment that gets serviced and re-torqued or sees vibration. The vinyl sleeve insulates the barrel and gives strain relief where the wire enters.
7) Is the Sta-Kon 14RBC-6 made in the USA for a Buy American spec job?
Country of origin on the 14RBC-6 is the United States, which is what institutional and government procurement typically needs documented for domestic-content requirements.
