Sta-Kon B14-6FL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon B14-6FL fork terminal crimp?
The B14-6FL locking fork terminal takes 18 to 14 AWG stranded copper wire in one barrel. If your conductor is 12 AWG or larger, this is the wrong terminal size and you need the next range up.
2) What screw or stud size does the B14-6FL fit?
It is sized for a No. 6 stud or screw. The fork tongue slides around a loosened No. 6 terminal screw, so you do not have to pull the screw all the way out of a terminal block or device.
3) Is the B14-6FL rated for 600 volt control and panel wiring?
Yes. The terminal carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809, which covers typical control panel, motor control and lighting circuit terminations.
4) What does the "locking" part of a locking fork terminal actually do?
The tongue on this Sta-Kon fork has a formed locking feature that grips under the screw head, so the terminal resists backing out from under the screw with vibration, unlike a plain spade. You still get the advantage of a fork: no need to remove the screw to land the wire.
5) Should I use a non-insulated fork terminal or an insulated one?
The B14-6FL is non-insulated bare copper, which is what you want when you are applying your own heat shrink, when the terminals sit in a covered block where sleeving would prevent the screws from closing, or when terminal spacing is tight. If the connection is exposed and nothing else covers it, choose an insulated fork in the same 18-14 AWG range instead.
6) Can I crimp this terminal onto aluminum wire?
No. The barrel is copper and is intended for copper conductors only. Aluminum conductors need a terminal specifically listed AL9CU or AL-rated with the correct compound, not a copper-only fork.
7) Do I need a special crimp tool for Sta-Kon non-insulated terminals?
Non-insulated barrels like the B14-6FL are crimped with a non-insulated (open-barrel style color-coded or indent) die, not the insulated terminal nest on a combination tool. Using the insulated nest on a bare barrel gives an under-formed crimp. Match the tool die to the 18-14 AWG range.
8) Is the Sta-Kon B14-6FL made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. Useful if you are buying against a Buy American or domestic-content requirement on a government or institutional job.
