Sta-Kon RB1323 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RB1323 ring terminal crimp onto?
The RB1323 is sized for 18-14 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. That is the blue color code range, and the barrel is color-coded blue so you can confirm the range at a glance on the job. Wire outside 18-14 AWG will either not seat in the barrel or will not hold a crimp, so step to the red (22-16) or yellow (12-10) terminal for those sizes.
2) Is this ring terminal rated for 600 volt control and branch circuit work?
Yes, the RB1323 carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809. That covers typical 120/208/240/480 V control panel, motor connection, and branch circuit terminations in commercial and institutional work.
3) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork terminal on a panel terminal block?
A ring terminal like the RB1323 has a closed tongue, so the connection cannot vibrate off the screw without the screw backing fully out. A fork (spade) terminal slides out from under a loosened screw, which makes it faster for service work but less secure under vibration. For motor leads, panel grounds, and anything on equipment that moves, the closed ring is the right choice; use a fork where you expect to break the connection repeatedly for testing.
4) Is the barrel on the Sta-Kon RB1323 copper or aluminum?
Copper. That means it is intended for copper conductors only, not aluminum building wire, which needs a dual-rated AL9CU connector with the proper compound. The nylon insulation sleeve covers the barrel and the back of the tongue.
5) Do I need a special crimper for the RB1323 Sta-Kon terminal?
Use an insulated-terminal crimp tool matched to the blue 18-14 AWG nest. A standard insulated-barrel crimper will seat it, but pliers or an uninsulated-terminal die will crush the nylon sleeve and give you an unreliable connection. Nothing is supplied with the terminal itself.
6) Is the Sta-Kon RB1323 made in the USA for a Buy American spec?
Country of origin on the RB1323 is the United States, which is what a government, education, or healthcare procurement file usually needs documented for domestic-preference purchasing. Order it by manufacturer part number RB1323.
7) What is the difference between a nylon insulated and a vinyl insulated ring terminal?
The RB1323 uses a nylon sleeve. Nylon takes a higher temperature and resists abrasion and cut-through better than vinyl, which is why it is the common specification inside enclosures and on equipment where the harness is pulled through sheet metal. Vinyl insulated terminals of the same 18-14 AWG blue range are electrically equivalent but softer.
