Sta-Kon RDV737 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RDV737 ring terminal crimp onto?
The RDV737 is sized for 8 AWG conductor. It is a single-size barrel, so it won't grip 10 or 12 AWG reliably and won't accept 6 AWG at all. If you're terminating a mixed run, order the matching terminal for each gauge rather than forcing this one.
2) Is this red insulated ring terminal rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes. The Sta-Kon RDV737 carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809, which is what an electrical inspector or MRO spec will want on a 600 V class control or power termination.
3) Why is this ring terminal red when most 8 AWG terminals are yellow?
Red here is the vinyl insulation color Sta-Kon uses on this part, not a gauge code you should read across brands. Go by the stated 8 AWG wire size and the 3/8 inch ring, not by sleeve color, when matching terminals already in a panel.
4) Is the barrel on the RDV737 copper or aluminum?
Copper barrel with a vinyl insulating sleeve. That makes it a copper-conductor terminal, so use it on copper wire. Aluminum conductors need an AL or AL9CU rated connector instead.
5) Ring terminal or fork terminal for an 8 AWG connection to a 3/8 inch stud?
Use the ring, like the RDV737, anywhere vibration or a safety ground is involved: the closed ring cannot back off the stud if the nut loosens. A fork or spade only earns its place where you need to drop the wire off without fully removing the nut, typically a service or test point.
6) Does the RDV737 need a special crimp tool?
It is a crimp-on insulated terminal, so it needs a crimper matched to insulated barrels in the 8 AWG range, not a plier squeeze. The insulation grip is part of the connection, and an under-crimped 8 AWG ring on a 600 V circuit is the usual cause of a hot termination.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon RDV737 made?
Mexico. That matters on public and institutional work where country of origin has to be documented on the submittal.
