Sta-Kon K973UNP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon K973UNP ring terminal take?
The K973UNP is sized for 2/0 through 3/0 AWG copper conductors. It's a heavy battery/feeder-class lug, so don't try to crimp smaller control or branch-circuit wire in it, the conductor won't fill the barrel and the crimp won't hold.
2) Can I use the Sta-Kon K973UNP on aluminum cable?
No. This is a copper terminal, and copper-only lugs are not rated for aluminum conductors. For aluminum feeders you need a lug marked AL9CU or AL-rated dual-marked, not a copper ring terminal.
3) Why would I use a 90 degree ring terminal instead of a straight lug?
The 90 degree bend in the K973UNP turns the conductor at the pad, so the cable runs perpendicular to the stud instead of straight at it. That's what you want in a tight enclosure, panelboard gutter, or battery box where a straight lug would force a hard bend in 2/0 or 3/0 cable right at the barrel. If you have room to run the cable in line with the stud, a straight non-insulated ring terminal is the simpler choice.
4) Is the Sta-Kon K973UNP insulated?
No. It's a bare, non-insulated terminal. The barrel and tongue are uncovered, so if the installation needs the termination covered you'll add heat shrink or boot it separately. The upside is you can inspect the crimp and the conductor after it's made.
5) What is the K973UNP terminal made of, and is it plated?
Copper barrel with a nickel plated finish. Nickel plating is why this one gets specified for higher-temperature terminations and corrosive or marine-type environments where a plain tin-plated copper lug would degrade. Copper also means it's for copper conductors, not aluminum.
6) Does the K973UNP need a special crimp tool?
Yes, a heavy hydraulic or large mechanical compression crimper. At 2/0 to 3/0 AWG this is well past what a hand ratchet terminal tool will close, and a cold or partial crimp on a lug this size is a heat problem waiting to happen. Budget for the die set along with the lugs.
7) Is the Sta-Kon K973UNP the part number I order, and where is it made?
K973UNP is the manufacturer part number for the Sta-Kon non-insulated 90 degree ring terminal, 2/0 to 3/0 AWG, nickel plated. Country of origin is Mexico. Distributors cross-referencing should note the trailing NP designates the nickel plated version.
