Sta-Kon BC79NP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon BC79NP ring terminal take?
The BC79NP is sized for 16-14 AWG conductor. Anything heavier than 14 AWG will not seat in the barrel, and 18 AWG or smaller will not crimp reliably in it, so pick the matching Sta-Kon barrel size for those runs.
2) Is this ring terminal insulated, and does that matter for a panel or junction box?
It is non-insulated. The BC79NP is a bare heavy-duty ring, which means you supply your own insulation at the crimp, typically heat shrink or tape, if the termination sits where it could contact an adjacent conductor or a grounded enclosure wall. For a stud in open air on a grounding point, no extra insulation is needed.
3) What is the BC79NP terminal made of, and will it corrode on exposed equipment?
Copper barrel with a nickel-plated finish. Copper keeps conductivity high at the crimp, and the nickel plating is the high-temperature option in this family, which is why it shows up on heater, motor and lighting ballast terminations rather than standard tin-plated rings.
4) Do I need a special crimp tool for a non-insulated Sta-Kon ring terminal?
Yes, use a non-insulated crimp die, not the color-coded insulated nest. The BC79NP is a bare barrel, so it needs the non-insulated jaw profile matched to 16-14 AWG. Crimping a bare barrel in an insulated-terminal nest gives an undersized, unreliable joint.
5) Is the Sta-Kon BC79NP made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the BC79NP ring terminal is the United States, which matters if you are filling a government, healthcare or transit order with domestic sourcing language in the spec.
