Sta-Kon RB250P – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RB250P piggyback disconnect take?
The RB250P is sized for 16-14 AWG stranded wire, which is the standard blue color code for that range. The blue nylon insulation is the quick visual check on the bench: if the barrel color is blue, you are on 16-14, not 22-18 (red) or 12-10 (yellow).
2) What is a piggyback disconnect used for instead of a plain female quick disconnect?
A piggyback terminal is a female .250 quick disconnect with a male tab built onto its back, so you can land one wire on a device terminal and stack a second disconnect on top of it. Use it anywhere you need to tap two circuits off a single spade terminal, for example a thermostat, relay, or motor terminal that has only one tab but needs two leads. A standard female disconnect ends the run; the RB250P lets it continue.
3) Is the insulation on this disconnect nylon or vinyl, and does it matter?
Nylon/polyamide, not vinyl. Nylon holds up better to heat and abrasion and resists cracking when the terminal is flexed onto a tab, which is why it is the usual choice for control panels and HVAC equipment rather than vinyl-insulated terminals.
4) Do I need a special crimper for the RB250P nylon insulated disconnect?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper matched to the blue 16-14 AWG color code nest. Nylon insulated barrels are crimped through the insulation, so a non-insulated (open barrel) die will cut the sleeve. Any crimper with red/blue/yellow color-coded nests covers it.
5) What metal is the Sta-Kon RB250P terminal made of?
The conductive body is brass. Brass barrels crimp cleanly on stranded copper and give a low-resistance joint on the spade connection.
6) Where is the Sta-Kon RB250P made?
Made in the United States. That matters on government and institutional jobs with domestic-content requirements on the bill of materials.
