Sta-Kon G973U – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon G973U ring terminal take?
The G973U is sized for 2 AWG conductor (listed as wire size 2/2AN). It's a tubular, non-insulated barrel, so it crimps directly onto stripped 2 AWG copper cable with no insulation sleeve to strip back or heat-shrink over.
2) Is the Sta-Kon G973U suitable for aluminum conductor?
No. The G973U is copper and is listed for 2 AWG copper cable. For aluminum or AL/CU service conductors you need a terminal rated for aluminum, typically a tin-plated compression lug with inhibitor compound.
3) Why would I use a 90 degree ring terminal instead of a straight one?
The 90 degree bend lets 2 AWG cable approach the stud from the side rather than head-on. That matters in shallow panels, tight gutter space, or where the cable has to run parallel to a bus bar and still land flat on the pad. A straight ring would force a bend in the conductor itself, which is hard to do cleanly in heavy 2 AWG. The G973U puts the bend in the terminal instead.
4) Does the Sta-Kon G973U need insulation added after crimping?
It's a bare copper barrel, so nothing covers the crimp as supplied. In panel or enclosure work where live parts need to stay guarded, installers slide adhesive heat-shrink over the barrel after crimping. Order that separately; it is not part of the terminal.
5) Can I crimp the G973U with hand pliers, or do I need a heavy crimper?
A 2 AWG tubular copper barrel is a power-tool or heavy mechanical crimp. Hand-held insulated-terminal pliers will not compress it. Use a hydraulic or ratcheting lug crimper with the correct die for 2 AWG copper.
6) Where is the Sta-Kon G973U terminal made?
Manufacturing origin is Mexico. That's the detail procurement teams need for country-of-origin reporting on government, healthcare, and institutional purchase orders.
7) How do I order the exact Sta-Kon 2 AWG 3/8 inch 90 degree ring terminal?
Order by manufacturer part number G973U from Sta-Kon. There is one configuration, so there is no finish, length, or stud-size option to specify, the part number alone fixes the 2 AWG barrel, 3/8 inch ring, and 90 degree bend.
