Sta-Kon RA857-170M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA857-170M ring terminal accept?
The RA857-170M takes 22 to 18 AWG stranded or solid wire. The red insulation is the standard color code for that range, so if your conductor is 16 AWG or larger this is the wrong terminal and you need the next size up.
2) Is this ring terminal UL listed for panel and control wiring?
Yes. The RA857-170M carries UL file E9809. That matters for institutional and MRO work where panel terminations have to be made with a listed connector.
3) Ring terminal or fork (spade) terminal for a terminal block?
A ring tongue like this No. 6 Sta-Kon has to come off the stud to be removed, which is why it is specified where vibration or a loose connection is a risk. A fork terminal slides out under a loosened screw and is faster to service. For motor controls, elevator panels, and anything that shakes, use the ring.
4) Does the Sta-Kon RA857-170M come loose or on a tape reel?
These are supplied on mylar tape, which is the strip format for machine or bench reel feeding rather than a loose bag count. If you are crimping by hand with a standard Sta-Kon hand tool, a loose-pack version of the same 22-18 AWG No. 6 red ring is the easier buy.
5) What is the exact part number to order this red 22-18 AWG No. 6 ring terminal?
Order Sta-Kon RA857-170M. That single manufacturer part number covers the red vinyl insulated No. 6 ring tongue for 22-18 AWG wire on mylar tape, so there are no finish or size options to pick alongside it.
6) What is the insulation on this Sta-Kon terminal made of, and will it hold up in a hot panel?
The insulation is vinyl in red. Vinyl insulated terminals are the general purpose choice for interior panel and fixture wiring at normal temperatures. If your application runs hot or needs higher dielectric and abrasion resistance, specify a nylon insulated terminal instead.
7) Are these ring terminals made in the USA?
Country of origin on the RA857-170M is the United States, which is what government and institutional buyers working under domestic sourcing requirements need to see on the line item.
