Sta-Kon BD183 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon BD183 female disconnect take?
The BD183 is sized for 16 to 14 AWG stranded wire. If you're terminating 12 or 10 AWG on the same panel, that's a different barrel size and a different part number, so don't try to force a heavier conductor into this barrel; the crimp won't hold.
2) Is the Sta-Kon BD183 disconnect insulated?
No insulation at all on this one. The BD183 is a bare brass terminal, metallic finish, so if the connection needs to be covered you'll have to add a separate insulating sleeve or boot, or use heat shrink. In enclosed equipment or inside a terminal housing where the housing provides the isolation, non-insulated is usually what the spec calls for.
3) Is the Sta-Kon BD183 UL recognized for panel work?
It carries UL file E66716. That's the identifier an inspector or a QA reviewer will want on the submittal when you're building a listed panel or assembly, so it can be referenced directly rather than treated as an unlisted component.
4) Do I need a special crimper for the Sta-Kon BD183?
It's a non-insulated brass barrel, so it needs a non-insulated crimp die, not the color-coded insulated-terminal nest. Using an insulated die on a bare barrel over-deforms the brass and gives you a joint that pulls out. Nothing is included with the terminal itself; the tooling is a separate purchase.
5) What is the overall length of the BD183 terminal?
Length is .64 inches. That matters when you're packing terminals into a tight junction box or a crowded relay base, since the stack of mated tab plus terminal plus wire bend radius is what actually decides whether the cover closes.
6) Is the BD183 made in the USA for government or institutional purchasing?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what domestic-preference procurement on federal, education, and healthcare jobs usually asks for on the line item.
