Sta-Kon RA863M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA863M ring terminal accept?
The RA863M takes 22 to 16 AWG stranded copper wire. That is the red color code range, and the red nylon insulation is how you spot it in a bin next to blue (16-14) or yellow (12-10) terminals. If your conductor is 14 AWG, this is the wrong barrel and the crimp will not hold.
2) What stud or screw size does the RA863M ring fit?
It is a No. 8 ring, so it drops over a #8 screw or stud on a terminal block, panelboard bus, or ground lug. A #10 stud will not pass through the tongue.
3) Is this ring terminal rated for 600 volt control and panel wiring?
Yes, the nylon insulated Sta-Kon ring terminal carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809, which is what inspectors look for on panelboard and control wiring terminations.
4) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork terminal on my terminal block?
A ring like the RA863M has to be unbolted to come off, so it cannot vibrate loose or slip out from under a backed-off screw. Use it anywhere the connection matters: grounds, motor controls, vehicle wiring. A spade or fork tongue is the choice only when you need to pull the wire off without fully removing the screw, as on dense terminal strips you service often.
5) Are Sta-Kon RA863M terminals made in the USA for a government or Buy American job?
Country of origin on the RA863M is the United States, which is the documentation point on federally funded and Buy American specified work.
6) What is the barrel made of, and does the insulation hold up in a hot enclosure?
The crimp barrel is copper, which is what you want for conductivity and a consistent crimp on copper conductors. The insulation is nylon rather than vinyl, so it resists abrasion and cut-through better when the harness is pulled through a panel or routed against sheet metal edges.
7) Where are these Sta-Kon terminals typically used?
Wiring harnesses, panelboards, telecommunications equipment, and automotive work are the listed applications. Anywhere you are landing small-gauge control or signal conductors on a #8 screw.
