Sta-Kon RA863UFR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA863UFR ring terminal take?
The RA863UFR is sized for 22-16 AWG stranded wire, which is the red insulation color code on nylon insulated terminals. If you are terminating 14 AWG or larger, step up to the blue (16-14) or yellow (12-10) body instead.
2) What does the 45 degree reverse bend on the RA863UFR actually do for me?
The tongue is formed at 45 degrees back toward the wire barrel instead of running straight out. That lets you land the lug on a stud that sits at an angle to the wire run, or get into a crowded terminal block or panel corner without putting a sharp bend in the conductor right behind the crimp. For a flat, straight landing, use a standard straight nylon ring terminal in the same 22-16 AWG red range.
3) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork terminal on this connection?
A ring terminal like the RA863UFR is the closed type: the nut has to come all the way off the stud to install or remove it, but it cannot vibrate off, which is why it is the one specified for motor leads, control panels and anything that moves. A fork (spade) terminal slides under a loosened screw and saves time on dense terminal strips, at the cost of being able to back out. Equipment grounds and vibration-prone loads get rings.
4) Is the insulation on this terminal nylon or vinyl, and does it matter?
Nylon. Nylon sleeves take a higher operating temperature and resist abrasion and cut-through better than vinyl, which is why they are the usual choice in panels and machine wiring where conductors are pulled past sheet metal edges. They also do not split as readily when the barrel is crimped.
5) Is the Sta-Kon RA863UFR made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States, which matters if you are buying under a domestic-preference or Buy American clause on a government, transit or institutional job.
6) What crimp tool do I need for the RA863UFR?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper matched to the red 22-16 AWG nest. The nylon sleeve is crimped along with the barrel, so a tool with a nest sized for the barrel (not a bare-lug indent die) is what gives you a full-circumference crimp without splitting the insulation. Pliers will not produce a code-acceptable termination.
7) Can I order just one RA863UFR or is it only sold in bulk?
The RA863UFR is catalogued as a single model with one orderable configuration, part number RA863UFR, so the quantity you enter is the quantity you get. There are no size, color or bend variants to choose between on this part number.
