Sta-Kon J973UF – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon J973UF ring terminal accept?
The J973UF is sized for 1/0 AWG through 2/0 AWG conductors. If you're terminating smaller feeders like 1 AWG or 2 AWG, this barrel will be oversized and won't crimp properly, so step down to a lug rated for that gauge instead.
2) Why does this Sta-Kon lug have a 45 degree bend, and when would I want it?
The 45 degree tongue angles the bolt pad away from the barrel, which lets a heavy 1/0 or 2/0 conductor come into a terminal block or busbar off-axis without you bending the cable itself. Useful in tight gutters and enclosures where a straight lug would force a hard radius on the conductor. If you have room to run the cable straight at the stud, a standard flat ring terminal is the simpler choice.
3) Is the J973UF insulated, and does that matter for my install?
It is a non-insulated copper lug, bare barrel and tongue. You need to insulate the termination yourself where the application requires it, typically with heat shrink or tape over the barrel. For an exposed stud in an enclosure that's usually fine; inside a crowded compartment where the barrel could contact a grounded surface, plan on shrink tubing.
4) Is the J973UF suitable for aluminum conductors?
No. It's a copper lug and should be used on copper conductors. For aluminum feeders you need a lug marked AL9CU or aluminum-rated, otherwise you get a dissimilar-metal joint that loosens and corrodes.
5) Can I crimp the Sta-Kon J973UF with hand tools, or do I need a hydraulic crimper?
A 1/0 to 2/0 copper lug is well past hand-tool range. You'll want a hydraulic or battery powered crimper with the correct die for the barrel size. Plan the tooling into the job, since the lug itself ships as the terminal only, with no hardware or bolt included.
6) What part number should I give purchasing for this Sta-Kon ring terminal?
Order it as Sta-Kon J973UF. That single manufacturer part number covers the 1/0 to 2/0, 3/8 inch ring, 45 degree non-insulated copper lug. Country of origin is Mexico, which matters if you're filing origin documentation on a government or institutional job.
