Sta-Kon 2A20 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon 2A20 parallel splice accept?
The 2A20 is sized for 22 to 20 AWG wire. The red insulation is the standard color code for that gauge band, so on a panel where crimps are color-sorted, red tells the next tech this is the small-gauge splice. Anything 18 AWG or larger needs a different splice size.
2) Is the Sta-Kon 2A20 splice rated for 600 volt control and branch circuit work?
Yes, the 2A20 nylon insulated parallel splice carries a 600 V rating, which covers typical control panel, lighting, and branch circuit wiring. It is UL recognized under file E9809.
3) Can I use a parallel splice instead of a butt splice to tap two wires together?
A parallel splice like the 2A20 takes both conductors in from the same end, so the two wires run alongside each other rather than meeting end to end. Use it when you are joining two wires coming from the same direction, or pigtailing a tap. If the wires approach from opposite directions and you need a straight inline joint, a butt splice is the right part instead.
4) What temperature can these nylon insulated splices handle in a hot equipment enclosure?
The insulation on the 2A20 is rated to 105 degrees C, which is why nylon is specified over vinyl for motor control enclosures, ballast compartments, and other warm cabinets. For anything running hotter than that, you need a high temperature crimp with a different insulation system.
5) Is the barrel on the Sta-Kon 2A20 copper or aluminum?
Copper. That makes the 2A20 suitable for copper conductors, which is what you find in control wiring and small-gauge building wire. Aluminum conductors require a splice rated for aluminum, so do not substitute this one there.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for the 2A20, or will pliers work?
These are crimp-type splices, and nylon insulated barrels need a proper insulated-terminal crimp tool sized to the 22-20 AWG color band (red). Pliers deform the barrel without producing a repeatable mechanical and electrical connection, and the insulation will split. Match the tool nest to the red gauge band and the crimp holds.
7) Is the Sta-Kon 2A20 splice made in the USA for a government or institutional spec job?
Country of origin on the 2A20 is the United States, which is what procurement needs when a domestic-sourcing clause applies. Order it by manufacturer part number 2A20.
