Sta-Kon RB713U – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RB713U ring terminal take?
The RB713U is sized for 18-14 AWG stranded or solid conductor. That is the blue color code range, which is why the nylon insulation on this terminal is blue. If you are terminating 22-16 AWG you need a red terminal instead, and 12-10 AWG takes a yellow one.
2) Why would I use a 90 degree ring terminal instead of a straight one?
The RB713U has a 90 degree bend between the barrel and the ring, so the wire runs parallel to the mounting surface while the ring lands flat on the stud. That is what you want in a shallow enclosure, on a crowded terminal block, or where a straight terminal would force the conductor to make a sharp bend right at the crimp. If you have room to bring the wire in straight at the stud, a standard flat ring terminal is the simpler choice.
3) Is the barrel on this Sta-Kon terminal copper or aluminum?
Copper. That means the RB713U is intended for copper conductors only, not aluminum feeders, and it should be crimped with a tool matched to insulated copper terminals in the 18-14 AWG range. For aluminum you need a dual-rated AL9CU lug, which this is not.
4) Do I order anything else with these ring terminals, or is the crimp all I need?
The terminal itself is complete, but it is a crimp-only connection, so you need a ratcheting or plier-type crimper rated for insulated terminals in the 18-14 AWG blue range. Nothing solders or screws onto the barrel. The ring end mounts under a screw or stud you supply, so check the stud diameter at the device before you buy, since the ring hole size is fixed by the part number.
5) Is the Sta-Kon RB713U made in the USA for government and institutional jobs?
Country of origin on the RB713U is the United States, which is what procurement needs when a spec calls for domestic electrical components on a federal, school district, or healthcare project.
