Sta-Kon RB483M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RB483M ring terminal crimp onto?
The RB483M takes 16-14 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. The blue insulation is the standard color code for that range, so on a panel full of mixed terminals you can spot the 16-14 crimps without reading the barrel. If you are terminating 22-16 AWG, you need a red-insulated terminal instead; 12-10 AWG takes yellow.
2) What stud or screw size does the RB483M ring fit?
It is a No. 5 ring, so it drops over a #5 screw or stud. The ring tongue is rectangular rather than round, which keeps the body narrower than a standard round-tongue ring of the same stud size, useful on crowded terminal blocks and tight stud spacing.
3) Is a ring terminal like the Sta-Kon RB483M better than a fork/spade terminal for my application?
Use the ring where the connection cannot be allowed to come loose under vibration. A closed ring like the RB483M has to have the screw fully removed to get off, so it stays captive if the screw backs off slightly. A fork or spade terminal slides out sideways, which is faster for service work on a terminal strip you open often. Motor leads, grounds, and anything on moving equipment get the ring.
4) Does the Sta-Kon RB483M have a UL listing I can cite on an inspection?
Yes. It carries UL file E9809. That is the reference an inspector or a spec writer will want for the terminal itself; the crimp also has to be made with the matching die/tool for the insulated barrel to be a listed connection.
5) Are these Sta-Kon ring terminals made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the RB483M is the United States. That is the line a government, education, or healthcare procurement buyer needs for a domestic-content requirement on electrical components.
6) What is the Sta-Kon part number and does the Mylar in the description change the part?
The part is Sta-Kon RB483M. The M suffix refers to Mylar strip packaging, meaning the terminals come banded on a Mylar carrier strip rather than loose in a bag. The terminal itself is the same 16-14 AWG, No. 5 rectangular ring. If you crimp by hand with a loose-piece tool, order the loose version instead of the M.
7) What is the nylon insulation on this Sta-Kon terminal good for compared with vinyl?
The RB483M barrel is nylon insulated. Nylon takes abrasion and crush better than vinyl and holds up better where terminals get pulled through a harness or bundled tight, and it resists cracking when the barrel is crimped hard. Vinyl-insulated terminals are the cheaper general-purpose option. The sleeve is blue, color coded to the 16-14 AWG range.
