Sta-Kon RBC14-6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RBC14-6 ring terminal crimp onto?
The RBC14-6 is sized for 16-14 AWG conductor. Green insulation is the color code used on this gauge band, so if you're pulling terminals out of a bin, green on a Sta-Kon ring means 16-14. For 22-16 AWG or 12-10 AWG you need a different barrel size entirely, since crimping undersized wire in a 16-14 barrel will not hold mechanically.
2) Is this ring terminal rated for 600 volt control and branch circuit work?
Yes, the RBC14-6 carries a 600 V rating, which covers typical commercial control panels, lighting circuits, and 480Y/277 or 208Y/120 branch wiring within that limit. It is also UL recognized under file E9809.
3) Why pick a ring terminal instead of a fork or spade for a panel connection?
A ring tongue cannot vibrate off a stud, because the screw has to come fully out before the terminal releases. That's why ring terminals are specified for motor leads, equipment grounds, and anything subject to vibration. A fork or spade slides on and off without removing the screw, which is faster for maintenance but not what you want on a connection that will be shaken. The RBC14-6 is the ring version for 16-14 AWG on a No. 6 stud.
4) Is the barrel on this Sta-Kon ring terminal copper or aluminum?
Copper. That means it's intended for copper conductor only, not aluminum building wire, which needs an AL9CU-rated connector with the appropriate inhibitor. For 16-14 AWG copper stranded or solid, the RBC14-6 is the correct metallurgy.
5) Do I need a specific crimp tool for the RBC14-6, or will pliers work?
Use a ratcheting or controlled-cycle crimper with the die nest matched to the 16-14 AWG insulated barrel, normally the blue or green-coded nest on a color-coded insulated terminal tool. Pliers deform the barrel unevenly and the connection will not hold its pull-out strength or stay electrically tight, which defeats the UL recognition under file E9809. The insulation color on the terminal, green, is your gauge reference when selecting the nest.
6) Is the Sta-Kon RBC14-6 made in the USA for Buy American or federal project requirements?
Country of origin on the RBC14-6 is the United States, which is the data point procurement officers on federal, state, and institutional jobs ask for first. Pair that with the UL recognition under file E9809 for submittal packages.
7) What does the heavy-duty nylon insulation on the RBC14-6 get me over a vinyl-insulated terminal?
The sleeve is nylon rather than vinyl, and it's the heavy-duty construction. Nylon takes more abuse during pull-through and resists cut-through and abrasion better than vinyl, which matters in wireways and on bundles that get flexed. It also tolerates higher operating temperature than standard vinyl. Functionally the crimp and the 600 V rating are the decision points; the nylon body is about surviving installation and service.
8) What is the exact part number to order this green 16-14 AWG No. 6 ring terminal?
Order Sta-Kon part number RBC14-6. That single MPN covers the nylon insulated heavy-duty ring terminal in green for 16-14 AWG wire on a No. 6 stud, rated 600 V. There are no finish or size variations under that number to specify.
