Sta-Kon C33M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon C33M ring terminal accept?
The C33M is sized for 12-10 AWG conductor. Run it on 12 or 10 gauge stranded wire and crimp with the die matched to that range. Smaller wire (14-16 AWG) will not hold in this barrel, and anything heavier than 10 AWG will not seat.
2) What stud or screw size does the C33M ring fit?
The ring is a No. 6 tongue, so it goes over a #6 stud or screw. On a larger #8 or #10 terminal post the ring will not pass over the threads, so step up to the ring size that matches the stud.
3) Is the Sta-Kon C33M insulated, and do I need to sleeve it?
It is a non-insulated ring terminal, bare copper with no nylon or vinyl sleeve. If the connection sits where it can be touched or where it could short against an adjacent terminal or enclosure wall, plan on heat shrink or a terminal boot over the crimp, or specify an insulated ring instead.
4) Will the C33M terminal work on aluminum wire?
No. The C33M barrel is copper, rated for copper conductor only. Aluminum needs a connector listed AL/CU with the appropriate inhibitor compound; putting bare copper on aluminum invites galvanic corrosion at the crimp.
5) Is this ring terminal UL listed for commercial and institutional work?
Yes. The Sta-Kon C33M carries UL file E9809, which is what an inspector or a spec writer on an MRO or institutional job will be looking for on a terminal of this type.
6) What does the "TAPE" in the C33M description mean?
Tape means the terminals come tape-mounted for automatic or semi-automatic crimping machines rather than loose in a bag. If you are crimping by hand with a plier tool, loose-piece packaging is the easier buy; tape-mounted is what a panel shop feeding a bench machine wants.
7) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork terminal on a #6 stud?
Use the ring, like the C33M, anywhere vibration or an accidental tug could pull the lug off the post. The ring has to come off the stud to release, so it stays put on motor terminals, panel grounds, and equipment subject to movement. A fork or spade slides out from under a loosened screw, which is only acceptable where you want fast field service and the connection is static.
8) What is the exact part number to order for a 12-10 AWG bare ring terminal with a #6 ring?
Sta-Kon C33M. It is the non-insulated copper ring terminal for 12-10 AWG wire with a No. 6 ring tongue, supplied tape-mounted.
9) Is the Sta-Kon C33M made in the USA?
Country of origin on the C33M is the United States. That matters on government and other domestic-preference jobs where the submittal has to show origin for every item on the bill of material.
