Sta-Kon RAP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RAP red pin terminal take?
The RAP pin terminal is sized for 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 conductor, which is roughly 20 to 16 AWG. The red insulation is the standard color code for that range, so if you are terminating 14 AWG or larger you need a different size terminal, not this one.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RAP a crimp terminal or a screw-on connector?
It is a crimp terminal. The RAP is a pin (also called a wire pin) terminal with an electrolytic copper barrel and a polycarbonate insulating sleeve, so you strip the conductor, seat it in the barrel, and crimp with a terminal tool sized for the 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 range. The pin end then drops into a screw clamp or spring terminal block.
3) Why use a pin terminal instead of landing bare stranded wire in a terminal block?
A pin terminal turns stranded wire into a solid pin so it cannot splay, birdcage, or back out under a clamp screw, which is the usual cause of loose connections and nuisance heating in control panels. The RAP does that for 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 conductor and the polycarbonate sleeve covers the strip length so there is no exposed copper at the block. If your block is designed for a fork or ring tongue instead, use that style rather than a pin.
4) Is the insulation on the Sta-Kon RAP nylon or vinyl?
Neither. The RAP uses a polycarbonate sleeve, which holds up better to heat and crushing than a vinyl sleeve. If your spec calls out a vinyl or nylon insulated pin terminal specifically, this is not a drop-in on paper even though the copper barrel and 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 wire range may match.
5) I am standardizing panel wiring across a facility. Will one part number cover all my control wire?
The RAP covers only the 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 band, color coded red. Anything heavier needs the next size up in the same pin style, so plan on at least two or three part numbers if your panels mix 16 AWG control wire with larger conductors. Color coding by wire range is what keeps that straight on the bench.
6) What is the exact part number and conductor material on the red Sta-Kon pin terminal?
Order it as Sta-Kon model RAP. The barrel is electrolytic copper, and the part is made in Sweden. That is the full ordering identity, there are no finish or length options to pick.
