Sta-Kon B14-516 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon B14-516 ring terminal crimp onto?
The B14-516 is sized for 18 to 14 AWG stranded copper conductors. That is one barrel covering three gauges, so the same terminal works on 18, 16, and 14 AWG runs. Anything 12 AWG or larger needs a different barrel size.
2) Can I use this ring terminal on a 480V motor or panel circuit?
Yes. The B14-516 carries a 600 V rating, which covers 120, 208, 240, 277, and 480 V building and motor branch circuits. It is also UL recognized under file E9809.
3) Is the Sta-Kon B14-516 insulated, and do I need to sleeve it?
It is a non-insulated ring terminal, bare copper with a metallic finish. Nothing on the barrel protects against incidental contact, so where you need strain relief or dielectric cover at the crimp you add heat shrink or a nylon sleeve yourself, or specify an insulated ring terminal instead.
4) Ring terminal or fork (spade) terminal for a terminal block landing?
A ring terminal like the Sta-Kon B14-516 is the right choice when the connection must not back out, because the 5/16 stud passes through a closed ring and the conductor cannot pull free unless the nut comes all the way off. That is what you want on motor leads, grounding studs, and vibrating equipment. A fork terminal is faster to service because it slides out from under a loosened screw, which suits control panel work where terminations get changed often. Code-sensitive and vibration-prone landings get the ring.
5) Is the Sta-Kon B14-516 copper or aluminum, and can I land it on an aluminum conductor?
The terminal body is copper, so it is intended for copper conductors only. Landing it on aluminum wire creates a dissimilar-metal joint; aluminum runs need a terminal specifically marked AL or AL9CU.
6) What crimp tool do I need for a non-insulated 18-14 AWG ring terminal?
Because the B14-516 is a non-insulated barrel in the 18-14 AWG range, it crimps with a bare-terminal die, not the color-coded insulated nests (red/blue/yellow) on a common insulated crimper. Use the uninsulated 22-10 AWG station on a ratcheting crimper or the matching Sta-Kon hand tool die so the barrel indents rather than flattens.
7) Is the Sta-Kon B14-516 made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the B14-516 ring terminal is the United States, which is the documentation most federal, state, and institutional procurement packages ask for on electrical terminations.
