Sta-Kon B72 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon B72 ring terminal accept?
The B72 is sized for 18 to 14 AWG conductors. That covers the typical range for control wiring, fixture leads, and small motor or appliance connections. Outside that band the barrel either won't accept the strand bundle or won't crimp down tight enough to hold, so step to a terminal rated for the larger conductor instead.
2) Will the B72 ring terminal fit a 5/16 inch stud or bolt?
Yes, the B72 ring tongue is made for a 5/16 inch bolt or stud. Ring terminals have to be slipped over the stud rather than pushed in sideways, so if you need to land on a stud without removing the nut hardware entirely, use a spade or flanged fork terminal instead.
3) Can I use the B72 on aluminum wire?
No. The B72 barrel is copper, so it's for copper conductors only. Aluminum needs a terminal rated AL or AL/CU with the appropriate inhibitor compound; putting aluminum into a copper-only barrel sets up a dissimilar-metal joint that corrodes and loosens over time.
4) Is the Sta-Kon B72 insulated, and do I need to sleeve it after crimping?
It's a non-insulated ring terminal, bare copper with no plastic or nylon sleeve over the barrel. If the connection sits where it can be touched or where it could short to an adjacent terminal or enclosure wall, plan on heat shrink or an insulating cap over the crimp. Non-insulated barrels do let you inspect the crimp and the conductor seating, which is why they're specified on terminal blocks and ground studs.
5) What voltage can a Sta-Kon B72 terminal be used at?
600 volts is the rating on the B72, which covers standard commercial and industrial branch circuits, control panels, and motor connections. It also carries a UL file reference of E9809, which matters if an inspector or a spec sheet calls for listed terminations on the job.
6) Is the Sta-Kon B72 made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin on the B72 is the United States, which is what procurement officers on federally funded or Buy American Act work need documented for electrical terminations.
