Sta-Kon RA250P – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA250P piggyback disconnect crimp onto?
The RA250P takes 22 to 18 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. Red is the standard color code for that gauge band on nylon insulated terminals, so the red barrel is your visual check that you grabbed the right size. Anything heavier, 16-14 AWG, needs a different (blue) terminal.
2) What does a piggyback disconnect do that a regular female disconnect doesn't?
A piggyback terminal like the RA250P is a female .250 disconnect with a male tab built into its back, so one blade on the device can feed two circuits. You push the RA250P onto the equipment tab, then push another standard .250 female disconnect onto the piggyback's tab. That is how you add a second feed, say a light or a run capacitor leg, without adding a splice or a terminal block. A plain female disconnect ends the run there.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RA250P rated for 600 volt control wiring?
Rated 600 V, so it is usable on standard line voltage and control circuits in panels and equipment within that limit. The terminal is UL recognized under file E66716.
4) Do I need a special crimper for Sta-Kon nylon insulated terminals?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper sized for the 22-18 AWG (red) nest. Nylon insulated barrels are crimped through the sleeve, so an insulated-grip crimper is required; a bare-terminal or cable tool will cut the nylon and leave an unreliable joint.
5) How do I order the exact Sta-Kon piggyback disconnect for 22-18 wire?
Order by manufacturer part number RA250P from Sta-Kon. That one number covers the red nylon insulated .250 piggyback disconnect for 22-18 AWG; there are no finish or size options to specify.
6) Is the insulation on this disconnect nylon or vinyl, and does it matter?
Nylon/polyamide, not vinyl. Nylon sleeves hold up better to abrasion and run hotter than PVC, which is why they get specified inside motor housings and equipment enclosures where the terminal is pushed against metal. The sleeve also supports the wire as it leaves the crimp.
7) Is the Sta-Kon RA250P made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. That matters for Buy American and domestic-preference procurement on government, healthcare and education work, where the terminal's origin has to be documented alongside the UL file.
