Sta-Kon G974NP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon G974NP ring terminal take?
The G974NP is sized for 2 AWG conductor. It is a non-insulated ring terminal, so the barrel is bare metal with no sleeve, and it has to be crimped with a die matched to a 2 AWG barrel. Oversizing or undersizing the conductor in a non-insulated barrel is the usual cause of a loose, high-resistance termination.
2) Why choose a nickel plated terminal instead of a standard tin plated one?
Nickel plating is what you pick when the termination runs hot or sits in a corrosive spot. The G974NP is a nickel plated, non-insulated ring terminal, which is the usual choice for high-temperature equipment terminations (heaters, ovens, engine and generator accessories) where tin plating would degrade. Since there is no insulating sleeve, nothing on the terminal limits the temperature it can sit at except the plating and base metal.
3) Do I need a separate insulating sleeve or heat shrink with the G974NP?
Plan on it if the installation needs the barrel covered. This is a non-insulated ring terminal, so the crimp barrel is exposed metal and nothing is supplied over it. Inside an enclosure on a stud block that is often fine; where the lug could be touched or could short to an adjacent terminal, add heat shrink or a nylon sleeve sized for a 2 AWG barrel.
4) Is a ring terminal or a fork terminal better for a 2 AWG equipment connection?
Use a ring. The G974NP ring terminal is a closed-barrel ring style, so the stud has to be removed to install it, but the connection cannot vibrate off the stud the way a fork (spade) can. For a 2 AWG feeder or ground run to a motor, panel stud, or battery-type post, that matters more than the convenience of sliding a fork in under a loose nut.
5) What is the exact part number and where is the Sta-Kon G974NP made?
Order it as Sta-Kon G974NP, a non-insulated nickel plated ring terminal for 2 AWG. Country of origin is Mexico. Distributors cross-referencing a bare 2 AWG ring lug should note the NP suffix is the nickel plated finish, not a plain tin barrel.
