Sta-Kon B86UFBB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon B86UFBB ring terminal take?
The B86UFBB is sized for 18-14 AWG conductors. That covers most control wiring, fixture leads, and low-current power taps in that range. Outside that window the barrel won't crimp to a reliable mechanical and electrical connection, so step to a terminal rated for the gauge you actually have.
2) What is a 45 degree reverse bend ring terminal used for?
The bend offsets the ring tongue 45 degrees back from the wire barrel, so the wire leaves the stud at an angle instead of straight out. That's what you want when the terminal block or stud sits close to a panel wall, a bus bar, or the back of an enclosure and a flat terminal would force a sharp bend in the conductor. If your stud faces into open space, a standard flat ring terminal is the simpler choice.
3) Is the Sta-Kon B86UFBB insulated?
No. It's a bare, non-insulated terminal, so the barrel and tongue are exposed metal after crimping. On anything where adjacent terminals or a grounded surface could be contacted, add heat shrink or an insulating sleeve over the barrel, or choose an insulated version instead.
4) What material is the B86UFBB terminal made of, and can I use it on aluminum wire?
It's copper. Copper terminals are for copper conductors; aluminum conductors need a terminal rated AL/CU or an aluminum-specific lug to avoid dissimilar-metal corrosion at the joint. For copper 18-14 AWG, this is the right pairing.
5) Do I need a special crimper for Sta-Kon non-insulated terminals?
Yes, use a crimp tool made for non-insulated terminals. Non-insulated barrels are crimped with the indenter or oval die, not the colored insulated-terminal nests, and the die has to match the 18-14 AWG range. Pliers or an insulated-terminal die on a bare barrel gives a loose joint that heats up under load.
6) Where is the Sta-Kon B86UFBB made? I have a domestic-sourcing requirement.
Country of origin is the United States, which is what government, transit, and other Buy American style procurement specs typically ask you to document for electrical terminations. The orderable part number is B86UFBB.
