Sta-Kon B87H – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon B87H hook terminal accept?
The B87H hook terminal is built for 18 to 14 AWG stranded or solid conductor. Anything heavier than 14 AWG will not seat in the barrel, and below 18 AWG the crimp won't hold a reliable mechanical grip, so step to a different Sta-Kon size for conductors outside that range.
2) Will a B87H hook terminal fit a No. 10 screw stud?
Yes. The B87H is sized for a No. 10 stud or screw, which is what makes it common on motor starters, terminal strips and control panel blocks using 10-32 hardware. The hook shape means you can slide it under a loosened screw without pulling the screw all the way out.
3) Is the Sta-Kon B87H insulated?
No, the B87H is a non-insulated hook terminal, bare metal end to end. It does have an insulation grip, a rear extension of the barrel that crimps down over the wire jacket for strain relief, but the conductive body is exposed. If the termination sits where it could be touched or could short to an adjacent terminal, either use heat shrink over the barrel or specify an insulated hook terminal instead.
4) What does the insulation grip on a Sta-Kon hook terminal actually do for me on the job?
The insulation grip is a second crimp zone behind the wire barrel that closes over the conductor's jacket. It takes flex and vibration off the crimped strands, which matters on panel wiring, machine controls and anything that moves or vibrates. You crimp both zones in one operation with the matching die, and you strip only enough jacket for the barrel, not for the grip section.
5) Should I use a hook terminal or a ring terminal on my terminal block?
Use the hook style, like the Sta-Kon B87H, where the screw is captive or awkward to remove, since the open hook slips in sideways under a backed-off screw and saves you pulling hardware on a crowded block. A ring terminal is the better choice where vibration is severe or code or spec calls for a closed, non-releasable connection, because a hook can work free if the screw loosens. Both land on the same No. 10 stud.
6) Is the Sta-Kon B87H made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the B87H hook terminal is the United States. That is the point to cite on federal, state or institutional jobs carrying a domestic-origin requirement.
7) What part number do I order for the Sta-Kon non-insulated hook terminal for 18-14 AWG on a No. 10 stud?
Order Sta-Kon B87H. That single part number covers the non-insulated hook terminal with insulation grip, 18-14 AWG barrel, No. 10 stud size. There are no finish or packaging variants to pick.
