Sta-Kon K973U – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon K973U ring terminal take?
The K973U is sized for 2/0 through 3/0 conductor. It is a non-insulated tubular ring terminal, so the barrel is crimped directly onto the stripped conductor with no insulation sleeve to strip back or support the wire.
2) Can I use the Sta-Kon K973U on a 480V panel feeder?
Yes. The K973U carries a 600 V rating, which covers 120/208, 277/480 and other standard commercial distribution voltages. Because the lug is non-insulated, you still need to meet clearance and insulating requirements at the termination yourself, usually with heat shrink or tape over the barrel.
3) Is the Sta-Kon K973U UL listed?
The K973U is covered under UL file E9809. Inspectors on commercial and institutional work generally want the UL file reference along with a listed crimp tool and die combination, since the listing applies to the terminal as installed with the correct die.
4) Is the K973U lug copper or aluminum, and can I land it on aluminum conductor?
The barrel is copper, so the K973U is intended for copper conductor. For aluminum or dual-rated runs you need a lug marked AL9CU or an aluminum-bodied terminal instead.
5) Why would I pick a 90 degree bend lug instead of a straight ring terminal?
The 90 degree bend on the K973U turns the ring tongue perpendicular to the barrel, so the conductor enters from the side and the pad lands flat on a horizontal bus or breaker pad. That saves you from bending heavy 2/0 to 3/0 copper inside a tight gutter. If your bus pad faces the same direction the conductor runs, a straight tongue lug is the simpler choice.
6) Do I need to order anything else to install the Sta-Kon K973U?
The lug itself ships as a bare terminal. To finish the termination you supply the bolt, nut and washers for the stud or bus pad, a crimp tool with the die matched to the 2/0 to 3/0 barrel, and insulation over the barrel if the application calls for it, since this terminal is non-insulated.
7) Is the Sta-Kon K973U one part number or are there options to choose?
K973U is a single model, ordered as the one part number with no finish, size or color options. It is bare metallic copper, so there is no color variation to specify. For a different conductor range you move to a different Sta-Kon part number.
8) Where is the Sta-Kon K973U terminal made?
The K973U is manufactured in Mexico. Government and institutional buyers working to a domestic-sourcing clause should note that before specifying it on a bid.
