Sta-Kon A463 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon A463 terminal accept?
The Sta-Kon A463 ring terminal is sized for 22 to 18 AWG stranded or solid conductor. Anything heavier than 18 AWG will not seat in the barrel, and anything finer than 22 AWG risks pulling out of the crimp even when the barrel is fully compressed. For control wiring, thermostat leads, and low-voltage panel terminations in that range, it's the right size.
2) What stud or screw size does the Sta-Kon A463 ring terminal fit?
The A463 is built for a No. 10 bolt or stud. The ring tongue will pass over a #10 screw or terminal-block stud; it will be loose on a smaller #6 or #8 stud and will not go over a 1/4-20 stud, so match the terminal to the stud size on the lug or block you are landing on.
3) Is the Sta-Kon A463 insulated or non-insulated?
Non-insulated. The A463 is a bare metal rectangular ring terminal, so the crimp barrel is exposed. On a panel where conductors sit close together or where the terminal may be near a grounded surface, you'll want to add heat shrink or insulating sleeving over the barrel yourself, or choose an insulated terminal instead.
4) Is the Sta-Kon A463 terminal made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the A463 is the United States. That matters on government, institutional, and federally funded jobs carrying domestic-content requirements, and it is the detail procurement usually has to document before a PO clears.
5) Can I use the A463 ring terminal instead of a fork or spade terminal on a #10 screw?
A ring terminal like the A463 is the better choice when the connection must not back off the stud. The closed tongue has to be lifted over the #10 screw, so the screw comes fully out during install, but once it is torqued down the conductor cannot slip off sideways under vibration. A fork terminal installs faster on a captive screw but can walk out. For motor control, equipment, and anything that vibrates, use the ring.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for Sta-Kon non-insulated terminals?
Non-insulated barrels like the A463 are crimped in the non-insulated (open-barrel style) nest of a terminal crimper, not the color-coded insulated nests. Using an insulated-terminal die on a bare barrel under-compresses the joint. Match the die to the 22-18 AWG range the terminal is rated for.
7) How do I order the Sta-Kon A463 terminal by part number?
Order it as Sta-Kon A463, which is both the model and the manufacturer part number. It is a single configuration, 22-18 AWG with a No. 10 bolt hole, so there are no finish or size options to specify.
