Sta-Kon RB867U – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RB867U ring terminal accept?
The RB867U takes 18 to 14 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. The blue insulation is the standard color code for that range, so on a panel where crimps are color-sorted, blue reads as 16-14 gauge territory at a glance. Anything thinner than 18 AWG won't grip properly in the barrel, and 12 AWG won't seat in it at all.
2) Why would I use a 90 degree ring terminal instead of a straight one?
The RB867U is a flag-style ring, with the ring bent 90 degrees to the wire barrel. It lets the conductor run parallel to the terminal face instead of coming straight at it, which is what you want in a shallow junction box, a crowded panel gutter, or against a device where a straight terminal would force a tight bend in the wire. If you have room to come in straight, a standard straight ring terminal is the simpler choice.
3) Do I need a special crimper for the Sta-Kon RB867U?
It's a barrel crimp terminal for 18-14 AWG, so it needs an insulated-terminal crimping tool with the die for that range (the blue-coded nest on most color-coded crimpers). A plier-style cutter or an uninsulated-terminal die will deform the vinyl sleeve and give you an unreliable mechanical joint. The terminal itself ships ready to crimp, no other parts required.
4) Is the insulation on this Sta-Kon terminal vinyl or nylon?
Vinyl. The RB867U uses a vinyl insulating sleeve, which is the common choice for general-purpose line and control wiring. Vinyl is less abrasion and heat tolerant than nylon, so for high-temperature or rough-pull work a nylon-insulated terminal is the better pick.
5) Is the Sta-Kon RB867U made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the RB867U ring terminal is the United States. That matters on federally funded and Buy American spec jobs where terminations get documented along with everything else.
6) What is the manufacturer part number for this blue 90 degree ring terminal?
Sta-Kon RB867U is the manufacturer part number. Spec it as a vinyl insulated 90 degree ring terminal, 18-14 AWG, No. 8 stud, blue.
