Sta-Kon A85 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon A85 ring terminal accept?
The A85 is sized for 22 to 16 AWG stranded copper conductor. Anything larger than 16 AWG will not seat in the barrel, and below 22 AWG the crimp won't hold reliably, so step to a different Sta-Kon barrel size for those conductors.
2) Is the Sta-Kon A85 insulated, and does that matter in a crowded panel?
It's a non-insulated ring terminal, bare copper with no nylon or vinyl sleeve. In a tight enclosure where terminals sit close together or near a metal wall, you'll want to add heat shrink over the barrel yourself, or specify an insulated ring terminal instead.
3) What is the voltage rating on the Sta-Kon A85 terminal?
600 V. That covers standard commercial and industrial control panel, motor connection, and branch circuit work. For anything above 600 V you need a different class of lug.
4) Is the Sta-Kon A85 UL listed for institutional and inspected work?
The A85 carries UL file E9809. That's the reference an inspector or a spec writer on a government, healthcare, or education job will want on the submittal.
5) Why choose a ring terminal over a spade terminal for a ground or terminal block connection?
A ring tongue, like the A85 uses, has to be slipped over the stud, so the connection cannot vibrate loose and slide off the way a fork or spade can. That's why ring terminals are the usual pick for equipment grounds, motor leads, and anything subject to vibration. A spade is faster to service because you can pull it without fully removing the nut, which is the trade-off.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for the Sta-Kon A85?
Yes, a terminal is only as good as its crimp. The A85 is a non-insulated barrel, so it takes a non-insulated crimp die, not the color-coded insulated nests. Match the die to the 22-16 AWG range. No solder is needed or wanted on a crimped copper barrel.
7) Will the A85 terminal work on aluminum wire?
No. The A85 is a copper terminal intended for copper conductor. Aluminum requires a lug rated AL/CU for that purpose, otherwise you get galvanic corrosion at the joint.
8) What is the exact part number and country of origin for the Sta-Kon A85?
Order it as Sta-Kon manufacturer part number A85. It's made in the United States, which matters if your job carries a domestic sourcing requirement on a public contract.
