Sta-Kon A87U – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon A87U ring terminal accept?
The Sta-Kon A87U takes stranded copper conductors from 22 through 16 AWG. If you are terminating 14 AWG or larger, this barrel will not close properly on it and you need the next size up in the Sta-Kon range.
2) Why would I use a 90 degree bend ring terminal instead of a straight one?
The A87U's tongue is bent 90 degrees to the barrel, so the wire runs parallel to the mounting surface instead of straight into the stud. That's what you want in a shallow enclosure, on a crowded terminal block, or where a straight ring would force a sharp bend in the conductor right at the crimp. If you have room to approach the stud head-on, a standard flat ring is the simpler part.
3) Is the A87U insulated, and does that matter for my panel?
No, it's a non-insulated terminal, bare copper barrel and tongue. On a crowded panel or anywhere a 22-16 AWG conductor could shift against an adjacent stud, you'll want to add heat shrink or sleeving over the barrel yourself, since there's no factory insulator or color-coded sleeve to identify wire size.
4) What crimp tool do I need for the Sta-Kon A87U?
It's a crimp-on, non-insulated barrel, so it needs a non-insulated (open die) crimp tool set for 22-16 AWG. Insulated-terminal dies with the color-coded nests will deform this barrel rather than form a proper indent. No solder is required or intended.
5) Is the A87U terminal copper or aluminum, and can I put it on aluminum wire?
The body is copper, so it's a copper-to-copper termination. Use it on copper conductors only; aluminum wire needs a terminal rated AL/CU, and this one isn't that part.
6) Are Sta-Kon A87U terminals made in the USA?
Yes. Country of origin on the A87U is the United States, which is what institutional and government buyers working to domestic-sourcing requirements usually need confirmed before they commit.
7) Is the A87U a single part number or does it come in different sizes?
A87U is one configuration: a non-insulated 90 degree bend ring for 22-16 AWG wire with a No. 10 ring tongue. There are no finish or size options to pick, so the part number is all you need to specify when you order.
