Sta-Kon B87UF – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon B87UF ring terminal accept?
The B87UF takes 18 to 14 AWG stranded or solid copper conductor. If you are terminating 12 AWG or larger, this barrel is too small and you need the next size up in the Sta-Kon ring range.
2) Why would I use a 45 degree bend ring terminal instead of a straight one?
The 45 degree bend in the B87UF angles the ring tongue off the barrel axis, so the wire can approach a stud from the side or from below without putting a sharp kink in the conductor right at the crimp. That matters in tight panels, motor terminal boxes, and crowded terminal blocks where a flag or straight ring would force the wire into the cover. If your wire runs square at the stud, a straight ring terminal is the simpler choice.
3) Is the Sta-Kon B87UF insulated?
No. It is a bare, non-insulated copper ring terminal. The barrel and tongue are uncovered, so if the installation needs strain relief or dielectric cover at the termination you have to add heat shrink or boot it yourself. Non-insulated also means you can inspect the crimp and the conductor fill visually after crimping.
4) What material is the B87UF terminal made of, and can I use it on aluminum conductor?
The terminal body is copper, so it is intended for copper conductor only. Copper-bodied lugs on aluminum wire set up a dissimilar-metal joint that corrodes and loses contact pressure; for aluminum you need a lug rated AL or AL/CU with the appropriate compound.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for a non-insulated 18-14 AWG ring terminal?
A non-insulated barrel like the B87UF crimps with the non-insulated (open barrel or indent) die station, not the color-coded insulated nest. Match the die to the 18-14 AWG range. Using the insulated-terminal nest on a bare barrel under-forms the crimp and the wire can pull out.
6) Is the Sta-Kon B87UF made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the B87UF ring terminal is the United States. That is the detail that matters on federally funded work and on jobs with domestic-sourcing language in the spec.
7) What part number do I order for the Sta-Kon 18-14 AWG, No. 10 stud, 45 degree ring terminal?
Order Sta-Kon B87UF. One model covers the whole configuration: non-insulated copper ring, 18-14 AWG barrel, No. 10 stud tongue, 45 degree bend. There are no finish or size options to pick.
