Sta-Kon A85SP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon A85SP ring terminal accept?
The A85SP takes 22 to 16 AWG stranded copper wire. If you're terminating 14 AWG or larger, this is the wrong barrel size and the crimp won't hold; step up to a terminal rated for that range.
2) What stud size does the Sta-Kon A85SP ring fit?
The ring is sized for a No. 6 stud or screw. On a terminal block or ground lug with a #8 or #10 screw the tongue won't pass over the threads, so match the hardware before you crimp a run of them.
3) Is the Sta-Kon A85SP insulated, and do I need to sleeve it?
It's a non-insulated ring terminal, bare metal barrel and tongue. For anything in a panel where you need strain relief or phase identification at the termination, add heat shrink over the barrel or specify an insulated ring instead.
4) Why choose a silver plated terminal like the A85SP over standard tin plated?
The A85SP is copper with silver plating. Silver plate is specified where you want lower contact resistance and better performance at elevated temperature than tin, which is why it shows up on motor connections, switchgear, and instrumentation work rather than general building wiring.
5) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork terminal on a No. 6 screw?
Use the ring, like the A85SP, anywhere the connection is subject to vibration or where a loosened screw must not release the conductor. A fork (spade) terminal slides out from under a backed-off screw; the closed ring tongue cannot. Forks are only worth it when you need to service the termination often without fully removing the screw.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for the Sta-Kon A85SP?
Yes. A non-insulated barrel in the 22-16 AWG range needs a ratcheting crimper with the correct non-insulated die nest, not the color coded insulated-terminal jaws. Pliers or a generic barrel crimp will give you a loose joint that reads fine and fails under load.
7) Is the Sta-Kon A85SP made in the USA for a government or institutional spec job?
Country of origin on the A85SP is the United States, which is what procurement needs when a domestic-sourcing clause is on the purchase order.
