Sta-Kon A114M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon A114M fork terminal take?
The A114M is sized for 22 to 16 AWG stranded wire. If you're terminating 14 AWG or larger, this crimp barrel won't close on it properly and you need a larger barrel size.
2) What screw size does the Sta-Kon A114M fork terminal fit?
It's built for a No. 8 stud or screw, so it slips over the terminal block screw without removing it. That makes it the right pick for panel terminal strips, contactors, and control wiring where you're landing small-gauge wire under an existing No. 8 screw.
3) Is the A114M insulated, and do I need heat shrink or tape over it?
It's a non-insulated fork terminal, bare copper with no plastic sleeve. On a terminal block inside an enclosure that's normally fine, but if the lug could be touched or sits near adjacent live terminals, plan on heat shrink or an insulating boot. If you'd rather not add that step, use an insulated fork terminal in the same 22-16 AWG range instead.
4) Should I use a fork terminal or a ring terminal on a control panel terminal strip?
A fork (spade) terminal like the A114M has an open end, so you can slide it under a loosened No. 8 screw without pulling the screw all the way out. That's faster on crowded terminal strips and for field service work. A ring terminal is the closed version: it can't vibrate off the screw, so it's the better choice on motor terminals, battery studs, and anything subject to vibration. Same wire range, different retention.
5) What is the A114M terminal made of, and will it work on aluminum wire?
The barrel is copper, so it's for copper conductors only. Aluminum wire needs a lug rated AL/CU with the proper inhibitor compound; a bare copper barrel on aluminum will corrode at the joint.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for Sta-Kon A114M terminals?
It's a crimp-on lug, not a set-screw connector, so it needs a crimper matched to the 22-16 AWG range. Non-insulated barrels crimp in the bare-terminal nest of the tool, not the color-coded insulated nest. Sta-Kon terminals are designed around Sta-Kon crimping tools, and using the correct die is what gives you a repeatable pull-out strength.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon A114M terminal manufactured?
Made in the United States. That matters for federal, municipal, and transit work where domestic-content language shows up in the spec.
8) I'm standardizing control wiring terminations across a facility. Is the A114M one part number or a range?
A114M is a single fixed combination: 22-16 AWG wire range, No. 8 stud, non-insulated copper. There are no finish or size options to pick on it, so it's a clean part number to put on an MRO stock list. For other gauges or stud sizes you move to a different Sta-Kon number rather than an option on this one.
