Sta-Kon RDV717 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RDV717 ring terminal take?
The RDV717 is sized for 8 AWG conductor. It is a crimp-on ring terminal, so the barrel is built for a single 8 AWG copper wire. If your conductor is 10 or 12 AWG, this barrel is too large to get a reliable crimp and you want the smaller terminal in that range instead.
2) What stud size does the RDV717 ring fit?
The ring is made for a 1/4 inch stud or screw. It will drop over a 1/4-20 bolt, a 1/4 inch terminal block stud, or a 1/4 inch grounding screw. On a smaller #10 stud the ring will float and can shift under the nut, so size the terminal to the stud, not the other way round.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RDV717 red terminal UL listed, and what voltage can I use it at?
It carries UL file E9809 and is rated 600 V. That covers standard branch circuit and control panel work at 600 volts and below.
4) Can I use the RDV717 on aluminum wire?
No. The RDV717 barrel is copper and is intended for copper conductor. Aluminum needs a terminal listed AL9CU or aluminum-specific with the proper oxide inhibitor, so use a dedicated aluminum lug for that run.
5) Does the vinyl insulation on this ring terminal mean I don't need heat shrink?
The RDV717 comes with a vinyl insulating sleeve over the barrel, which covers the crimp and the wire entry in a dry indoor panel or enclosure. Vinyl is not a sealed insulation, so for wet, marine, or outdoor locations you want an adhesive-lined heat shrink terminal instead.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for an 8 AWG Sta-Kon ring terminal?
Yes, plan on a proper crimper. At 8 AWG this is beyond what a hand stripper-crimper does well; you need a heavy-duty ratcheting crimp tool with the die that matches the terminal barrel. A poor crimp at 8 AWG on a 600 V circuit is the usual cause of a hot connection.
7) What is the manufacturer part number and where is the Sta-Kon RDV717 made?
The part number is RDV717 from Sta-Kon. Country of origin is listed as United States or Mexico, which matters if you are filling a government or institutional order with domestic sourcing language on it.
