Sta-Kon B86U – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What stud size does the Sta-Kon B86U ring terminal fit?
The B86U is built for a #8 stud or screw. The ring tongue slips over the #8 post, so you can land it on a terminal block, ground lug, or bus screw without cutting the wire loose later, which is the advantage a ring has over a fork tongue.
2) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon B86U crimp terminal take?
16-14 AWG. Stranded copper conductor in that range crimps into the barrel correctly; anything smaller than 16 AWG will not hold in the barrel and anything heavier than 14 AWG will not seat, so step to the next barrel size for those.
3) Why is the Sta-Kon B86U tongue bent at 90 degrees?
The ring tongue sits at 90 degrees to the wire barrel, so the conductor runs parallel to the panel face while the ring lands flat on the stud. That keeps the wire from having to be bent hard right at the crimp in a tight enclosure or behind a deep terminal block. If your stud faces the same direction as the wire run, a straight flag-style ring terminal is the right choice instead.
4) Is the Sta-Kon B86U insulated, and does it need a sleeve?
It is a non-insulated terminal, bare metal over the full barrel and tongue. If the connection is in a spot where it could touch an adjacent conductor or a grounded surface, add heat shrink or an insulating sleeve over the barrel after crimping, or specify an insulated ring terminal instead.
5) What material is the B86U ring terminal made of?
Copper. Copper barrel and tongue give you the low resistance path a power or grounding connection needs, and it is the correct pairing for copper stranded conductors. For aluminum conductors you need a terminal rated for aluminum, not this one.
6) Can I use the B86U heavy-duty ring terminal with a standard hand crimper?
It is a crimp-on, non-insulated barrel, so it needs a non-insulated crimp die, not the color-coded insulated nest on a combination tool. Match the die to the 16-14 AWG barrel size and crimp the barrel, not the tongue.
