Sta-Kon RBD14-188A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the blue Sta-Kon RBD14-188A flag disconnect take?
Blue is the standard insulation color code for 16-14 AWG stranded copper in insulated terminals, and the RBD14-188A is a blue nylon-insulated female disconnect. Crimp it with the 16-14 AWG nest of your terminal tool so the brass barrel forms correctly on the conductor.
2) What is the mating tab size on this female disconnect?
The 188A in the RBD14-188A designates a 0.188 inch wide male tab, the smaller of the two common quick-connect sizes. Check the blade on your switch, relay, or thermostat before ordering: if it measures 1/4 inch (0.250), this terminal will not seat and you need the 0.250 series instead.
3) Why use a 90 degree flag disconnect instead of a straight female quick disconnect?
A flag terminal brings the wire in at a right angle to the tab, so the conductor lays flat along the device instead of standing straight off it. That is what you want in a shallow motor housing, a packed relay panel, or a contactor stack where a straight disconnect plus its wire bend radius will not clear the cover. On an open terminal block with room behind it, a straight female disconnect is simpler and cheaper. The RBD14-188A is the 90 degree flag version.
4) Is this Sta-Kon disconnect fully insulated, and does that matter in a crowded control panel?
It is a fully insulated terminal, with nylon/polyamide covering the barrel and the receptacle body rather than just a sleeve over the crimp barrel. In a tight enclosure that means no exposed metal at the connection, so adjacent terminals and grounded sheet metal will not short against it. Nylon also holds up better than vinyl to heat and to solvents and oils found around motors.
5) Will a brass barrel terminal work on aluminum wire?
No. The RBD14-188A has a brass crimp barrel, which is a copper-alloy terminal and is intended for copper conductors. For aluminum you need a terminal specifically rated AL9CU or CU/AL with the proper compound, not a copper-alloy quick disconnect.
6) Are these Sta-Kon terminals made in the USA for buyers with domestic sourcing requirements?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what a government, institutional, or utility purchaser needs on record when a project carries domestic-content language.
