Sta-Kon RAX23 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RAX23 ring terminal crimp onto?
The RAX23 is sized for 26-24 AWG stranded copper wire, which is the smallest of the common control and signal gauges. Anything heavier, say 22-16 AWG, will not seat in the barrel and the crimp will not hold. The yellow insulation on this part is Sta-Kon's color code for that 26-24 range, so on a panel where you also run heavier conductors you can tell the terminals apart by color at a glance.
2) Should I use a ring terminal or a spade terminal for a control panel terminal screw?
A ring terminal like the RAX23 goes fully around the screw, so the wire cannot pull off if the screw loosens. That is why ring terminals are specified for vibration-prone equipment and for anything safety related. A spade (fork) terminal slides out from under a loosened screw, but it lets you drop the wire in without removing the screw entirely, which saves time on dense blocks and on service calls. For permanent panel terminations, go with the ring.
3) Do I need a special crimp tool for Sta-Kon RAX23 terminals?
Sta-Kon terminals are designed for a Sta-Kon style insulated crimp tool matched to the color-coded range. Use the yellow die or nest position for this terminal, since it is the 26-24 AWG color code. A general purpose insulated terminal crimper that only covers 22-16, 16-14 and 12-10 will not have a position small enough to form a reliable crimp on this barrel.
4) What is the exact part number to order for the yellow 26-24 AWG No. 2 Sta-Kon ring terminal?
Order Sta-Kon RAX23. That single manufacturer part number covers the yellow nylon insulated ring terminal for 26-24 AWG wire with a No. 2 ring, so there are no size or finish options to specify beyond the number itself.
5) Is the RAX23 terminal nylon insulated or vinyl insulated?
Nylon. Nylon insulated barrels take more abuse during crimping and installation than vinyl, and they hold up better to heat and abrasion in a crowded enclosure. The insulation also sleeves over the wire to support it at the crimp.
6) Is the Sta-Kon RAX23 made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the RAX23 is the United States, which matters on government, federal and institutional jobs that carry domestic sourcing requirements in the spec.
