Sta-Kon A18-38 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon A18-38 ring terminal accept?
The A18-38 is sized for 22 to 16 AWG stranded copper conductor. Anything heavier than 16 AWG will not seat in the barrel, and below 22 AWG the crimp won't hold reliably, so step to a different barrel size for those conductors.
2) Is this ring terminal rated for 600 volt control and panel wiring?
The Sta-Kon A18-38 carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809, which covers it for typical control panel, motor control, and machine wiring at or below 600 volts.
3) Non-insulated or insulated ring terminal, which should I use?
The A18-38 is non-insulated, bare copper with no sleeve. Pick it when you're going to heat shrink over the barrel yourself, when the terminal sits inside a tight stud stack where an insulating sleeve adds bulk, or where high temperature at the joint would degrade a nylon or vinyl sleeve. If you need strain relief and color coding of the wire range straight out of the bag, use an insulated ring terminal instead.
4) Can I use this ring terminal for a ground or bonding connection?
It's a copper-bodied ring terminal in a 3/8 inch stud size, which is the common size for equipment ground bolts and bonding studs in enclosures and gear. Copper on copper avoids the dissimilar-metal issue you get terminating to an aluminum bus. Crimp it with the die matched to the 22-16 AWG barrel.
5) Is the Sta-Kon A18-38 made in the USA?
Country of origin on the A18-38 ring terminal is the United States, which is what institutional and government buyers working to domestic-sourcing requirements usually need confirmed before they commit.
6) What does the Sta-Kon A18-38 terminal look like, and is it color coded?
Bare metallic copper, with no colored insulating sleeve. Non-insulated Sta-Kon terminals are identified by the stamped part number on the tongue rather than by sleeve color, so if you standardize your panels by insulation color you'll need to mark these yourself or use an insulated equivalent.
