Sta-Kon RBC14-8 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RBC14-8 ring terminal accept?
The RBC14-8 is sized for 16 to 14 AWG stranded copper wire. The green nylon insulation is the color code for that range, so if you're pulling a reel of 14 AWG control wire, this is the terminal that matches it. Anything heavier (12-10 AWG) or lighter (22-18 AWG) needs a different barrel size and will not crimp reliably in this one.
2) Is this ring terminal rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes. The Sta-Kon RBC14-8 carries a 600 V rating, which covers standard commercial branch circuits, motor control wiring, and panel work. It is also UL listed under file E9809.
3) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork (spade) terminal on a panel stud?
A ring terminal like the RBC14-8 goes fully around the stud, so the connection cannot slip off if the screw backs out. That is why it is the right choice on grounds, vibration-prone equipment, and anything an inspector will look at twice. A fork terminal slides on from the side without removing the screw, which is faster for service work but can work loose. For a #8 stud on 16-14 AWG copper wire where reliability matters, use the ring.
4) What makes this a heavy-duty ring terminal versus a standard one?
The RBC14-8 is a heavy-duty nylon insulated ring terminal, meaning a thicker copper barrel and tongue than a standard-duty terminal in the same 16-14 AWG range. Nylon insulation also takes abuse better than vinyl, resisting cracking and abrasion in conduit bodies and equipment enclosures. For MRO stock where one terminal has to serve across a facility, the heavy-duty version is the safer standardization choice.
5) Are these ring terminals made in the USA? I have a domestic sourcing requirement.
The Sta-Kon RBC14-8 has a country of origin of the United States, which matters for government, institutional, and Buy American-flagged projects where electrical consumables fall under the sourcing requirement.
6) Do I need a special crimper for Sta-Kon RBC14-8 terminals?
Use a crimper matched to insulated nylon terminals in the 16-14 AWG range, and set it on the die position for that gauge (commonly the blue/green color-coded nest on insulated-terminal tools). A plain uninsulated-lug crimper or pliers will crush the nylon sleeve and will not form a proper barrel crimp on the copper, which is what the 600 V, UL listed rating depends on.
7) What is the exact part number to order for the green 16-14 AWG #8 Sta-Kon ring terminal?
Order Sta-Kon RBC14-8. That single part number covers the green nylon insulated heavy-duty ring terminal for 16-14 AWG copper wire with a No. 8 stud ring, and there are no other configurations under it to specify.
