Sta-Kon B65M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon B65M fork terminal crimp?
The B65M fork terminal takes 18 to 14 AWG stranded copper conductor. That covers the usual 18, 16, and 14 gauge control and fixture wiring, so one terminal part number handles the whole range on a panel. Outside that range the barrel either won't accept the conductor or won't hold a sound crimp.
2) Will the Sta-Kon B65M fit a No. 8 screw terminal?
Yes. The B65M is sized for a No. 8 stud or screw, which is the common size on terminal blocks, contactors, and fixture terminal strips. The fork (spade) tongue slides under a loosened screw rather than requiring the screw to be fully removed, which is why it gets used for panel and control wiring work.
3) Is the B65M terminal rated for 600 volt circuits?
The B65M carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809. That covers standard commercial and industrial control and power wiring at 600 V and below, including motor control panels and lighting circuits.
4) Do I need separate insulation on a non-insulated fork terminal like the B65M?
The B65M is a bare copper terminal with no insulating sleeve of its own, so where the connection needs to be covered you add a nylon or vinyl sleeve or heat shrink over the barrel after crimping. If you'd rather not add a second part, specify an insulated fork terminal for 18-14 AWG and a No. 8 stud instead.
5) Fork terminal or ring terminal for a No. 8 screw connection?
A fork terminal like the B65M goes on and off without removing the screw, which saves time on terminal strips you service often and on tight panel work. A ring terminal is captive and can't be pulled off a loosened screw, so it's the better choice on vibration-prone equipment or where a code or spec calls for a captive connection. Same 18-14 AWG wire range, same No. 8 stud size, different removal behavior.
6) Is the Sta-Kon B65M copper, and can I use it on aluminum conductor?
The B65M barrel is copper, so it's for copper conductor only. Aluminum wire needs a terminal that is specifically listed AL/CU along with the correct inhibitor compound; using a copper-only lug on aluminum invites a corroded, high-resistance joint.
7) What part number do I order for the Sta-Kon mylar-packed non-insulated fork terminal, 18-14 AWG?
Order Sta-Kon B65M. It's the non-insulated fork terminal for 18-14 AWG wire on a No. 8 stud, supplied in mylar packaging. One model, so there are no finish or size options to specify.
