Sta-Kon RAA15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon RAA15 butt splice accept?
The RAA15 is sized for 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 conductors, which is roughly 20 to 16 AWG. Red is the standard color coding for that range, and the RAA15 is a red splice. If your conductor is 14 AWG or larger, this is the wrong size and you need the next range up.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RAA15 splice UL listed?
It carries UL file E9809. That is the reference an inspector or spec reviewer will want for the termination, and it is what lets the splice be used in listed assemblies.
3) Will a red butt splice work for joining two 18 AWG control wires end to end?
Yes. The RAA15 is a butt splice, meaning both conductors enter opposite ends of a single barrel and are crimped to make an inline joint. At 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 (about 20 to 16 AWG) an 18 AWG control conductor sits in the middle of the range.
4) What is the insulation on the Sta-Kon RAA15 made of, and does it matter?
Polycarbonate, not vinyl or nylon. Polycarbonate insulation is a clear, rigid sleeve, so the crimp and conductor insertion are visible after crimping, which is useful when the work gets inspected. It is a tougher material than PVC for handling abrasion in panel work.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for the Sta-Kon RAA15 red splice?
Use a crimper matched to insulated terminals in the red color code (0.5 to 1.5 mm2 / 20 to 16 AWG nest). An insulated-barrel crimper compresses the sleeve and the metal barrel together; a bare-terminal die or pliers will split the polycarbonate body and give you a joint that pulls apart.
6) Is the RAA15 butt splice suitable for a wet or buried location?
No. The RAA15 is a standard insulated butt splice, not a sealed or heat-shrink type, so it has no moisture barrier at the wire entry. For damp, wet, or direct-burial joints you want an adhesive-lined heat shrink butt connector instead.
7) What is the exact part number and country of origin on the Sta-Kon red butt splice?
Manufacturer part number RAA15, made in Sweden. Distributors ordering for a bill of material should reference RAA15 under the Sta-Kon brand.
