Sta-Kon B71ML – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon B71ML ring terminal accept?
The B71ML takes 18 to 14 AWG stranded copper wire. That covers the usual control, fixture, and low-current branch wiring a panel builder or electrician is landing on a stud. Anything 12 AWG or larger needs a different barrel size.
2) Is the Sta-Kon B71ML insulated or bare?
Bare. It's a non-insulated copper ring terminal, so there is no nylon or vinyl sleeve over the barrel. If you need strain relief or color-coded wire-size identification at the crimp, you want an insulated ring terminal instead; with the B71ML you add heat shrink yourself or rely on the enclosure for separation.
3) What does "left feed reel" mean on the Sta-Kon B71ML terminal?
The B71ML ships as reeled terminals strip-mounted for left-hand feed into an automatic or semi-automatic crimping machine, not as loose pieces in a bag. If you are crimping by hand with a plier tool, loose terminals are the easier buy; reeled stock is for production benches and wire-processing equipment, and the feed direction has to match the applicator you're running.
4) Why choose a ring terminal instead of a fork or spade for a terminal block?
A ring terminal, like the B71ML, closes fully around the screw or stud, so the wire cannot back out if the screw loosens. That's why ring terminals are specified for vibration-prone equipment, motor connections, and ground studs. A fork or spade slides off without removing the screw, which makes service faster but gives up that captive connection. For grounding and anything that sees vibration, use the ring.
5) Is the Sta-Kon B71ML terminal made of copper or aluminum?
Copper. That matters for two reasons: it's matched to copper conductors with no dissimilar-metal concern at the crimp, and it is not rated for aluminum wire. Aluminum conductors need an AL/CU dual-rated connector, not this one.
6) Is the Sta-Kon B71ML made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin on the B71ML is the United States, which is the line a government, transit, or federally funded institutional buyer needs for domestic-content documentation.
7) What is the exact manufacturer part number to order this Sta-Kon terminal?
Order it as Sta-Kon B71ML. That single part number covers the left-feed reel non-insulated copper ring terminal for 18-14 AWG wire.
