Sta-Kon F272 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon F272 flag terminal take?
The F272 is built for 4 and 3 AWG copper conductors. If you're terminating anything smaller, like 6 or 8 AWG, the barrel will be oversized and the crimp won't hold, so you need a different terminal in the range.
2) Is the Sta-Kon F272 insulated?
No. The F272 is a non-insulated terminal, bare metallic copper with no sleeve. Once it's crimped you need to insulate it yourself with heat shrink or tape if the application calls for covered terminations, and keep the required clearance to adjacent phases and grounded metal.
3) Why use a flag terminal instead of a standard straight ring terminal?
A flag terminal brings the wire in at right angles to the stud instead of in line with it, so the conductor runs parallel to the mounting surface. That is what you want in a shallow enclosure, a crowded panel, or a motor terminal box where there is no room to loop a 4 AWG conductor straight into the lug. If you have depth behind the stud, a conventional straight ring or spade tongue terminal is simpler.
4) Is the Sta-Kon F272 UL listed?
It carries UL file E9809. That is the recognition reference an inspector or spec writer will ask for on the termination.
5) Can I use the F272 on aluminum conductors?
No. It's a copper terminal rated for copper wire in 4-3 AWG. Aluminum conductors need a terminal specifically identified for AL, usually with the proper inhibitor compound, so substitute an AL-rated lug for that work.
6) Is the Sta-Kon F272 a crimp or a set-screw terminal?
It's a crimp (compression) terminal. For a 4-3 AWG barrel you need a heavy-duty crimping tool with the matching die, not a hand squeeze tool sized for insulated 22-10 AWG terminals. There is no set screw and no solder required.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon F272 terminal made?
Manufactured in the United States, which matters if you are buying against a Buy American or domestic-content requirement on a government or institutional job.
8) Is F272 the actual part number to order?
Yes, F272 is the manufacturer part number for this Sta-Kon non-insulated flag terminal. It covers 4-3 AWG copper with a 5/16 inch stud hole.
