Sta-Kon K973NP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon K973NP ring terminal take?
The K973NP is sized for 2/0 AWG through 3/0 AWG conductor. That is a heavy feeder or service-size lug, not something to use on smaller building wire. If your conductor is below 2/0 you want a smaller barrel, since an oversized barrel will not crimp down to a gas-tight connection on the strands.
2) Can I terminate aluminum conductor with the Sta-Kon K973NP lug?
No. This is a copper lug, which makes it a copper-conductor-only terminal. Aluminum feeders need a lug rated AL9CU or AL-only with the correct oxide-inhibiting compound. Using a copper-only lug on aluminum sets up a dissimilar-metal joint that loosens and heats over time.
3) Is the Sta-Kon K973NP insulated?
No. It is a non-insulated ring terminal, so the barrel and tongue are bare metal once crimped. For panel work or anywhere the lug sits near other live parts you will need to add heat shrink or a boot over the barrel yourself, since none comes on the terminal.
4) What is the K973NP terminal made of, and will it corrode on outdoor or damp equipment?
The body is copper with a nickel plating. Nickel plate is the finish you pick over plain tin when the connection runs hot or sits in a damp or chemically aggressive spot, because it resists oxidation better at elevated temperature. The copper body keeps conductivity on par with the copper conductor it terminates.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for a 3/0 Sta-Kon terminal?
Yes. At 2/0 to 3/0 this is a heavy-barrel lug, well past what hand-squeeze crimpers handle. Plan on a hydraulic or large mechanical compression tool with the die matched to the conductor size. A poor crimp on a feeder this size is the failure you find later as a hot joint.
6) Where is the Sta-Kon K973NP made?
Country of origin is Mexico. That is the detail institutional and government procurement buyers usually need on record for domestic-preference paperwork before a submittal goes through.
