Sta-Kon A86U – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon A86U ring terminal crimp onto?
The A86U takes 22 to 16 AWG stranded wire. That covers most control, signal and low-current power conductors in panel work. Anything heavier than 16 AWG will not seat in the barrel, so step up to a larger Sta-Kon barrel size for 14 AWG and above.
2) What stud size does the A86U ring terminal fit?
It is sized for a No. 8 stud or screw. The ring is a closed tongue, so the terminal has to come off the stud (or the nut removed) to land it, unlike a spade or fork terminal that slides in from the side.
3) Is the Sta-Kon A86U insulated? Do I need heat shrink or a boot over it?
It is a non-insulated terminal, bare copper with no sleeve. On anything live or in a crowded wire bundle you add your own insulation, heat shrink tubing or a terminal boot, after crimping. If you would rather the insulation be part of the terminal, order an insulated Sta-Kon ring in the same 22-16 AWG range instead.
4) Why would I use a 90 degree bend ring terminal instead of a flat one?
The A86U has the tongue bent 90 degrees to the barrel, so the wire runs parallel to the mounting surface instead of straight at the stud. That is what you want when the terminal block or stud faces out of a tight enclosure wall and a flat terminal would force a sharp bend in the conductor. For straight-in approaches, a standard flat ring terminal is the simpler part.
5) How do I order the right Sta-Kon ring terminal by part number?
The part number here is A86U, a non-insulated 90 degree bend ring for 22-16 AWG wire on a No. 8 stud. When you order, the three things that have to match are wire range, stud size and whether you want the bend, since Sta-Kon carries flat and bent versions in the same barrel size.
6) What is the A86U terminal made of?
Copper. That keeps conductivity high and gives a proper copper-to-copper joint with copper conductors. It is a crimp terminal, so it needs a matching crimp tool for the 22-16 AWG barrel range rather than pliers.
