Sta-Kon A481 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon A481 ring terminal crimp onto?
The A481 is sized for 22 to 18 AWG stranded copper conductors. If you are terminating 16 to 14 AWG or heavier, this barrel is too small to crimp reliably and you need the next wire-range up in the series.
2) Will a #6 ring terminal fit the stud on my control panel terminal block?
The A481 ring tongue is drilled for a No. 6 screw or stud. It will slip over a #6 stud and also over smaller #4 or #2 screws, but it will not go over a #8 or #10 stud. Measure the stud before you crimp a run of them.
3) Is this Sta-Kon terminal rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes, the A481 carries a 600 V rating, which covers typical commercial lighting, control, and branch circuit work. It is UL recognized under file E9809.
4) Non-insulated vs. insulated ring terminal, which should I use?
The A481 is a non-insulated rectangular-tongue ring terminal, bare copper with no sleeve. Non-insulated is what you want when you are heat-shrinking over the joint yourself, when terminals sit tight together on a dense terminal block and a nylon or vinyl sleeve would not clear, or when the barrel has to be inspected. If the connection is exposed and nothing else insulates it, choose an insulated ring terminal in the same 22-18 AWG range instead.
5) What is the Sta-Kon A481 made of, and can I use it on aluminum wire?
The A481 barrel is copper. It is intended for copper conductors only. Aluminum conductors require a terminal specifically marked AL or AL9CU, so do not substitute this one on an aluminum feeder or branch circuit.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for Sta-Kon non-insulated terminals?
Non-insulated barrels like the A481 crimp with a non-insulated (open die, often ratcheting) crimper set for the 22-18 AWG range. The color-coded dies made for insulated terminals will deform a bare barrel and give you a connection that pulls out. Match the die to the gauge, not just the tool.
7) What part number do I order to match existing A481 terminals in a panel?
Order by manufacturer part number A481 from Sta-Kon. That is the 22-18 AWG, No. 6 rectangular ring, non-insulated. Keeping one part number across a panel keeps a single crimp die in the tech's bag instead of three.
