Sta-Kon B14-D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon B14-D wristlock disconnect take?
The B14-D is sized for 16-14 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. That is the whole usable range for this terminal, so 12 AWG won't crimp properly in it and smaller than 16 AWG will pull out. Match the barrel to the conductor, not to the stud or tab.
2) Is the B14-D disconnect insulated, and does that matter for my application?
No insulation at all on this one, the Insulation Material is listed as None and the body is bare metallic brass. In a crowded enclosure or anywhere the terminal could touch a chassis or an adjacent terminal, you'll need to sleeve it yourself with heat shrink or use an insulated or fully-insulated disconnect instead. Non-insulated is the right pick when you're applying your own sleeving or working inside a high-temperature appliance where nylon or vinyl insulation wouldn't survive.
3) Is the Sta-Kon B14-D UL listed?
It carries UL file E9809. That is the listing a lot of institutional and government specs call for on wire terminations, so if a submittal asks for a UL recognized or listed crimp terminal, this one satisfies it under that file number.
4) What is a wristlock disconnect and how is it different from a plain female disconnect?
A wristlock disconnect is a quick-disconnect terminal whose receptacle sleeve is formed so it grips the mating tab and resists being shaken loose, instead of relying only on friction from a flat crimped sleeve. You still pull it off by hand, but it holds better under vibration, which is why it shows up in motor, appliance, and HVAC wiring. The B14-D is the non-insulated version of that style for 16-14 AWG wire.
5) Do I need a special crimper for the Sta-Kon B14-D?
Use a crimp tool with a non-insulated terminal die, not the colored insulated-terminal nest. Non-insulated barrels crimp with an indent or oval die directly on the metal; squeezing a bare brass barrel in an insulated nest gives you a loose, high-resistance joint. The barrel is sized for 16-14 AWG, so set the tool to that range.
6) What material is the B14-D terminal and will it corrode?
The terminal body is brass, with a metallic finish and no insulating jacket. Brass gives you good conductivity and reasonable corrosion resistance for dry indoor panel, appliance, and control wiring. For wet, washdown, or marine locations, plan on sealing the connection with adhesive-lined heat shrink since nothing on the part itself is sealed.
7) What part number do I order for the Sta-Kon 16-14 AWG non-insulated wristlock disconnect?
Order it as Sta-Kon B14-D. That single model number covers the part, there are no finish or size options to choose, and it is made in the United States.
