Sta-Kon RD10361U – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RD10361U ring terminal take?
The RD10361U is sized for 8AN wire. Red is the color code on this terminal, so if you are matching a bin of crimps by color on the truck, red is what you are looking for here.
2) Why would I use a 90 degree ring terminal instead of a straight one?
The right-angle bend lets the wire run parallel to the mounting surface while the ring sits flat on the stud or lug. That matters in tight panels, junction boxes, and behind device plates where a straight terminal would force a sharp bend in the conductor right at the crimp. The Sta-Kon RD10361U is the 90 degree version; if your wire approaches the stud head-on with room to spare, a straight ring terminal is the simpler choice.
3) Should I pick a ring terminal or a fork terminal for a screw-down stud?
A ring terminal, like the Sta-Kon RD10361U, has a closed barrel that cannot vibrate off the stud once the nut or screw is torqued. A fork (spade) terminal slides out sideways, so it is only worth using where you need to swap the connection without fully removing the fastener. For permanent terminations on equipment that vibrates, go with the ring.
4) Can I crimp the RD10361U with standard pliers?
No. Insulated Sta-Kon terminals are made to be crimped with a matched insulated-terminal crimp tool that compresses the barrel through the nylon sleeve without splitting it. Standard pliers or a general-purpose cutter crimper will deform the sleeve and leave a joint with high resistance. Match the tool to the 8AN wire size the terminal is built for.
5) Is the insulation on the Sta-Kon RD10361U vinyl or nylon?
Nylon. Nylon insulation is tougher against abrasion and scuffing during pull-through than standard vinyl, which is why it gets specified for panel work where terminals are dragged through raceway or packed tight in a wireway.
