Sta-Kon RA2573M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA2573M female disconnect take?
The RA2573M is sized for 22-18 AWG stranded or solid wire, which is why the insulation is red. Red is the standard color code for the 22-18 AWG range on insulated terminals, so if you're crimping 16 or 14 AWG you need a blue-barrel terminal instead, not this one.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RA2573M fully insulated over the tab, or just the barrel?
Fully insulated. The nylon/polyamide sleeve covers the crimp barrel and extends over the receptacle body, so the connection is shrouded once it's pushed onto the tab. That matters in tight panels and junction boxes where a partially insulated disconnect could brush an adjacent terminal.
3) Why choose a nylon-insulated disconnect over a vinyl one?
Nylon/polyamide holds up better to heat and abrasion than vinyl and resists splitting when the terminal is flexed or pulled off a tab repeatedly. For control panels, motor leads and anywhere the harness gets serviced often, nylon is the usual call. Vinyl is fine for low-temperature, one-time terminations.
4) Is the RA2573M disconnect UL listed?
It carries UL file E66716. Institutional and MRO buyers specifying terminals for panel work or inspected installations can reference that file number directly.
5) Do I need a special crimper for these insulated female disconnects?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper matched to the red 22-18 AWG color code nest. Insulated barrels like this one crimp through the nylon sleeve, so a non-insulated (open-barrel) die will cut the insulation and give you an unreliable joint.
6) What metal is the Sta-Kon RA2573M terminal made from?
Brass, inside the nylon sleeve. Brass gives good conductivity and spring retention on the tab. If your specification calls for tin-plated copper barrels, this is a different base material, so check the spec before standardizing on it across a facility.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon RA2573M made?
Made in the United States. Buyers working against domestic-content or Buy American procurement rules on government and institutional jobs usually need that on record.
8) What part number should I order for this Sta-Kon red .250 female disconnect?
Order Sta-Kon RA2573M. That's the single manufacturer part number for the nylon fully insulated female disconnect, 22-18 AWG, .250 tab.
