Sta-Kon RB1323M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RB1323M ring terminal take?
The RB1323M is sized for 18 to 14 AWG conductor, which is the blue color-code range in the standard insulated terminal scheme. If you are terminating 22-16 AWG you need a red-coded terminal instead, and 12-10 AWG needs yellow. Stranded building wire or appliance cord in the 18-14 band crimps into this barrel.
2) Will the RB1323M ring terminal fit a #4 screw or stud?
Yes. The RB1323M ring is drilled for a No. 4 stud or screw, so it lands on small terminal-block screws, control panel studs and device screws of that size. It will not slip over a No. 6 or larger stud, so check the screw size on the block before you crimp a run of them.
3) Is this blue ring terminal UL recognized for panel work?
The RB1323M carries UL file E9809. That is the detail an inspector or a specifying engineer on an institutional or MRO job asks for when terminations have to be listed components inside a control enclosure.
4) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork (spade) terminal on a terminal block?
A ring terminal like the RB1323M is the closed-barrel choice: the screw has to come all the way out to remove it, so it cannot vibrate or pull off the stud. That is why it is specified for motor leads, equipment grounds and anything in a vibrating or safety-critical location. A fork terminal slides out sideways under a loosened screw, which is faster for service work on dense terminal strips but less secure. For a #4 screw on a panel that gets reworked often, a fork is the convenience pick; for a connection you want to stay put, use the ring.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for the RB1323M insulated ring terminal?
It is an insulated nylon terminal in the blue 18-14 AWG range, so it crimps with an insulated-terminal tool using the blue die nest. A bare-terminal or uninsulated crimper will cut through the nylon sleeve instead of forming the barrel properly. Match the die color to the terminal color and the crimp stays within the UL recognition.
6) What is the nylon insulation on this Sta-Kon terminal good for compared to a vinyl one?
The RB1323M uses a nylon insulating sleeve rather than vinyl. Nylon is tougher against abrasion and holds up better to heat and solvents, and it resists splitting when the barrel is crimped hard, so it is the usual pick for panel and equipment wiring over a vinyl-insulated terminal.
7) What part number do I order and where is it made?
Order it as Sta-Kon RB1323M. It is made in the United States, which matters if your job carries a domestic-content requirement on a government or institutional contract.
