Sta-Kon RA873ML – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA873ML ring terminal accept?
The RA873ML takes 22 to 16 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. That is the red insulation color code range, and the nylon insulator on this terminal is red, so you can confirm the gauge band visually on a reel of mixed terminals.
2) Is the RA873ML a loose bag of terminals or a reel product?
It ships as a left-hand reel, meaning the terminals are strip-mounted for feeding into a reel-fed crimping machine. If you are crimping by hand with a hand tool, you want loose-piece ring terminals instead, and if your machine feeds from the opposite side you need the right-hand reel version.
3) Are these Sta-Kon ring terminals insulated, and what is the insulation material?
Yes, the RA873ML uses a nylon insulating sleeve over the barrel rather than vinyl. Nylon holds up better to crimp-flaring and abrasion during installation, which matters on reel-fed production work where the terminal gets pushed into tight harness bundles.
4) What is the conductor barrel made of on the RA873ML terminal?
Copper. That gives you a direct copper-to-copper connection with copper building or harness wire, which is what you want for low resistance at the termination. Do not use it on aluminum conductors.
5) Can I use a No. 6 ring terminal on a larger lug by filing the ring?
No. The RA873ML ring is formed for a No. 6 bolt and modifying it compromises the contact area and the plating at the joint. Step up to a ring terminal rated for the stud size you actually have, staying within the 22-16 AWG wire range.
6) Where is the Sta-Kon RA873ML made?
Manufactured in the United States, which is what institutional and government buyers need when a job carries domestic-sourcing requirements on electrical components.
