Sta-Kon RD10731NP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RD10731NP ring terminal take?
The RD10731NP is sized for 8 AWG wire. The red nylon insulation is the color code tied to that wire range, so if you are terminating anything lighter or heavier, you need a different barrel size, not this one.
2) Should I use a ring terminal or a spade terminal on a 3/8 inch stud?
Use a ring like the RD10731NP wherever the connection is subject to vibration or where code or the panel manufacturer requires a captive termination. The closed ring cannot pull off the stud if the nut loosens, which is why it is standard on motor leads, generator connections, battery studs and grounding. A spade or flanged fork is only for service points you expect to disconnect often without removing the nut fully.
3) Is the ring terminal tongue on the RD10731NP bare copper or plated?
Nickel plated. That plating is what makes it the choice for high-temperature terminations and for panel work where you want better corrosion resistance than a plain tin-plated terminal at the same stud.
4) Does this Sta-Kon terminal need a crimp tool, or can I solder it?
It is a crimp terminal. The 8 AWG nylon insulated barrel needs a heavy crimp tool matched to that wire range, not pliers, and nylon terminals use a die that compresses the barrel through the insulation sleeve. The insulation is nylon rather than vinyl, which tolerates a hotter working environment and resists cracking during the crimp.
5) Where is the Sta-Kon RD10731NP made?
Country of origin on the RD10731NP is listed as the United States or Mexico. That matters on public and institutional jobs where origin documentation has to be submitted with the closeout package.
