Sta-Kon RBD18377M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RBD18377M female disconnect take?
The RBD18377M is sized for 16-14 AWG stranded wire, which is what the blue insulation color signals on a disconnect terminal. If you are terminating 22-18 AWG you need a red-barrel disconnect instead, and 12-10 AWG calls for a yellow one.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RBD18377M UL listed?
It carries UL file E66716. For institutional and MRO specs that require UL recognized or listed wire terminations, that file number is the reference to cite on the submittal.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RBD18377M disconnect fully insulated for a crowded panel?
It is a fully insulated female disconnect with a nylon/polyamide sleeve that covers the barrel and the receptacle body, so there is no exposed metal once it is crimped and seated on the tab. That is what you want in a tight control enclosure or a junction box where terminals sit close together.
4) Why choose a nylon-insulated disconnect over a vinyl one?
Nylon/polyamide holds up better to heat and abrasion than vinyl and resists cracking when the terminal is flexed onto a tab, which is why it is the usual pick for motor controls, HVAC equipment and anywhere the wire gets handled during service. The RBD18377M uses a nylon sleeve over a brass barrel.
5) Are the Sta-Kon RBD18377M disconnects tape mounted for a crimping machine?
Yes, these are supplied tape mounted (the TAPE designation in the part), which is the reeled format used for automatic and semi-automatic crimping equipment on a production bench. If you are crimping one at a time with a hand tool, loose-piece disconnects are the easier format to work from.
6) What is the barrel of the RBD18377M made of, and does it accept a standard crimp?
Brass, which crimps and conducts well and is the standard base metal for quick-connect disconnects in this class. Use the crimp die matched to the 16-14 AWG (blue) range on your tool; crimping blue-range terminals in a red or yellow nest gives you a loose joint.
7) Are Sta-Kon RBD18377M terminals made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin is the United States, which is the data a government, healthcare or education procurement office needs for a domestic-preference line item.
8) What is the exact part number to order for this blue .187 female disconnect?
Order Sta-Kon RBD18377M. That single manufacturer part number covers the nylon fully insulated female .187 disconnect in the 16-14 AWG blue range, tape mounted.
