Sta-Kon 14RB-4 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon 14RB-4 ring terminal crimp onto?
The 14RB-4 is sized for 18 to 14 AWG stranded copper wire. That is the standard blue-coded range, and the terminal's barrel insulation is blue to match, so you can identify it in a bin at a glance. Run it on 16 AWG control wire or 14 AWG branch conductors and it crimps in the blue die of a standard insulated-terminal tool.
2) Is the Sta-Kon 14RB-4 UL listed, and where is it made?
It is covered under UL file E9809, which is the detail an institutional or MRO inspector will ask for on terminations in a panel. The terminal is made in the United States.
3) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork terminal for a screw connection?
A ring terminal like the 14RB-4 is the one to use anywhere vibration or an accidental tug could pull the wire off the stud, because the screw has to come all the way out before the ring releases. A fork or spade slides out sideways under a loosened screw, which is faster for service work but not what you want on a motor, a ground stud, or equipment that moves. For a #4 stud on 18-14 AWG wire, the ring is the secure choice.
4) Is the 14RB-4 copper or aluminum, and can I put aluminum wire in it?
The barrel is copper, so it is intended for copper conductors only. Aluminum wire needs a terminal marked AL or AL9CU with the proper inhibitor compound; crimping aluminum into a copper barrel sets up galvanic corrosion at the joint.
5) Do I need a special crimper for the Sta-Kon 14RB-4?
It crimps with a standard insulated-terminal tool using the blue nest, which corresponds to the 18-14 AWG range. Sta-Kon barrels are designed for a controlled-cycle crimp, so a ratcheting insulated-terminal crimper gives a more repeatable joint than plier-style tooling. Nothing else is required to terminate the wire beyond the screw or stud already on the equipment.
6) Which Sta-Kon part number do I order for a blue 18-14 AWG #4 ring terminal?
Order Sta-Kon 14RB-4. The 14 prefix indicates the 18-14 AWG blue range and the -4 is the No. 4 ring size.
