Sta-Kon RBC873YU – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RBC873YU ring terminal crimp onto?
The RBC873YU is sized for 16-14 AWG stranded wire. That's the standard yellow-coded range in the Sta-Kon nylon insulated line, and the yellow insulation on this terminal is your visual check that you have the 16-14 barrel rather than a 22-16 or a 12-10. Crimping a 12 AWG conductor into it will not give you a reliable termination.
2) Is the RBC873YU rated for 300 volt control wiring?
Yes, the terminal carries a 300 V rating, which covers typical control panel, appliance and low-voltage power wiring. For anything above 300 volts you need a different terminal series.
3) What does the 90 degree ring terminal get used for instead of a straight ring tongue?
The RBC873YU has its ring tongue bent 90 degrees to the barrel, so the wire runs parallel to the mounting surface while the ring lies flat under the stud or screw. Electricians reach for this when there isn't depth in front of a terminal block or stud for a straight tongue, or when the conductor has to turn immediately out of the lug without putting a bend stress on the wire right at the crimp. If you have clearance to run straight into the stud, a standard flat ring terminal is the simpler choice.
4) What's the difference between a nylon insulated and a vinyl insulated ring terminal?
This one is nylon insulated. Nylon sleeves hold up better to abrasion, oils and higher temperatures than vinyl, and they resist splitting when the barrel is crimped hard, which is why they get specified on heavy-duty and equipment wiring. Vinyl insulated terminals are the lower-cost option for general interior work where there's no mechanical abuse.
5) Is the Sta-Kon RBC873YU made in the USA?
Yes. Country of origin on the RBC873YU is the United States, which matters if you are buying against a Buy American or domestic-content requirement on a government or institutional job.
