Sta-Kon B486M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon B486M rectangular ring terminal accept?
The B486M takes 16-14 AWG conductor. If you're running 12 AWG or 18-22 AWG on the same panel, you need a different terminal in the series; crimping outside the 16-14 range gives you a loose barrel or a conductor that won't seat.
2) What screw size does the B486M terminal tongue fit?
It's sized for a No. 4 stud or screw. That's the terminal block or ground screw it bolts down to, so check the stud diameter on your device before ordering.
3) Is the Sta-Kon B486M insulated or non-insulated?
Non-insulated. The barrel is bare copper, so you'll want heat shrink or sleeving if the application needs the crimp covered, and you need to keep clearance between adjacent tongues on a crowded terminal strip.
4) Why is the B486M supplied on Mylar tape?
The terminals come taped on Mylar carrier strip, which is the format automatic and semi-automatic crimping machines feed from. If you're crimping by hand with a plier tool, loose or strip-fed terminals are easier to work with; the tape format is for production runs.
5) Can I use the B486M terminal on aluminum wire?
No. The B486M barrel is copper and is intended for copper conductor. Aluminum needs a terminal rated and listed for aluminum with the appropriate inhibitor compound.
6) What's the difference between a rectangular ring terminal like the B486M and a standard round ring tongue?
Both are closed-tongue terminals that go over a stud, so the wire can't pull off if the screw loosens. The rectangular tongue on the B486M gives a squared-off profile that lines up in tight rows on a terminal block where a round tongue would overlap its neighbor. Electrically they do the same job; it's a clearance and stacking choice.
7) Is the Sta-Kon B486M made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States. That matters if you're procuring for a government or federally funded job with domestic-content requirements.
