Sta-Kon E272 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon E272 flag terminal take?
The E272 is sized for 6 to 5 AWG conductors. That is a single crimp barrel covering both gauges, so a 6 AWG and a 5 AWG lead can both be terminated with the same part and the same die setting. If your conductor is smaller than 6 AWG, the barrel will be oversized and the crimp will not hold reliably, so step down to a terminal rated for that gauge instead.
2) Is the Sta-Kon E272 UL recognized for a job that requires listed terminations?
The E272 carries UL file E9809. If your inspector or spec sheet calls for UL terminations on the connection, that file number is what you cite on the submittal.
3) When should I use a flag terminal instead of a straight ring terminal?
A flag terminal puts the ring tongue at a right angle to the wire barrel, so the conductor runs parallel to the mounting surface rather than straight into it. That is what you want in a shallow enclosure, a tight panel gutter, or against a motor or transformer terminal block where there is no room to sweep a 6 AWG conductor around into a straight lug. If you have depth behind the stud, a conventional straight ring or spade terminal is the simpler choice.
4) Is the Sta-Kon E272 insulated, and does that matter for my install?
It is a non-insulated terminal, bare copper with a metallic finish. Nothing covers the barrel after crimping, so if the lug sits near a grounded surface or an adjacent phase you need to add heat shrink, tape, or a boot yourself, or rely on the enclosure's clearances. The upside is that an uninsulated barrel can be inspected visually after the crimp.
5) Can the E272 be used on aluminum conductors?
No. The E272 is a copper terminal and should be used on copper conductors only. For aluminum or combination runs you need a lug specifically marked AL9CU or AL7CU and an approved joint compound; putting bare copper directly on aluminum invites galvanic corrosion at the connection.
6) Is the Sta-Kon E272 made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the E272 is the United States, which is what domestic-preference and Buy American procurement packages ask for on electrical terminations. Institutional and government buyers can carry it on that basis.
7) What part number do I order and is there more than one version of the E272?
Order it as Sta-Kon E272. There is one configuration: non-insulated copper flag terminal, 6-5 AWG barrel, 5/16 inch stud hole. No finish, size, or insulation-color choice to specify.
