Sta-Kon D8-12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the D8-12 ring terminal on aluminum wire?
No. The D8-12 barrel is copper and the terminal is intended for copper conductors. Aluminum needs a terminal rated AL or AL9CU with the appropriate inhibitor compound, otherwise you get galvanic corrosion and a hot joint.
2) Is the Sta-Kon D8-12 terminal insulated?
No. It's a non-insulated ring terminal, bare copper with a metallic finish. Nothing covers the barrel after crimping, so if the termination needs dielectric coverage you add heat shrink or tape yourself, or step to an insulated ring terminal instead.
3) What voltage is the Sta-Kon D8-12 ring terminal rated for?
600 V. That covers normal branch circuit, panel, motor connection and control work. It is not a medium voltage lug, so keep it off anything above 600 V.
4) Why choose a ring terminal instead of a fork or spade terminal for an 8 AWG connection?
A ring tongue has to be slipped over the stud, so the bolt comes all the way out to install or remove it. In exchange it cannot vibrate off the stud, which is why ring terminals like the D8-12 are the usual pick for motor leads, ground studs, bus pads and anything that moves. A fork tongue slides in sideways under a loosened screw, faster for service but able to back out.
5) Is the Sta-Kon D8-12 made in the USA? I have a domestic sourcing requirement.
Country of origin on the D8-12 is the United States, which is what government, transit and other Buy American jobs generally need documented on electrical terminations.
6) What is the exact part number to order this 8 AWG half-inch ring terminal?
Order it as Sta-Kon D8-12. That is the manufacturer part number, the D-series non-insulated ring terminal for 8 AWG wire with a 1/2 inch bolt hole.
