Sta-Kon RF717U – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RF717U ring terminal take?
The RF717U is sized for 4 AWG conductor. It is a nylon insulated ring terminal with a 90 degree bend, crimped onto copper wire. If you are terminating anything smaller than 4 AWG, the barrel will not grip properly even with the right die, so match the terminal to the actual conductor you are landing.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RF717U rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes, the RF717U carries a 600 V rating, which covers standard commercial branch circuits, panel and control wiring, and motor terminations at 480 V and below.
3) Why would I use a 90 degree ring terminal instead of a straight one?
The bend turns the wire run 90 degrees to the stud or lug face. In a tight panel, junction box, or motor terminal housing, a straight terminal forces you to bend 4 AWG copper by hand right at the barrel, which stresses the crimp. The RF717U puts the bend in the terminal body instead so the conductor enters from the side and lands flat on the stud.
4) Is the Sta-Kon RF717U terminal insulated or bare?
It is nylon insulated. The copper barrel is covered by a nylon sleeve, which holds up better to abrasion and crushing during crimping than vinyl, and the insulation is part of the 600 V rating. If your spec calls for a bare compression lug you want a different part.
5) What part number do I order for the Sta-Kon 4 AWG 90 degree ring terminal?
Order by manufacturer part number RF717U. It is a single configuration, so there is no finish or stud size option to pick; the yellow 4 AWG nylon insulated 90 degree ring terminal is the whole item.
6) What does the yellow insulation on a Sta-Kon terminal mean?
Yellow is the color-code for the heavy wire range on nylon insulated Sta-Kon terminals, and on the RF717U it corresponds to 4 AWG. Electricians use it as a quick visual check in a crowded gutter that the right size terminal went on the right conductor.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon RF717U made?
Country of origin on the RF717U is listed as United States or Mexico. That matters on public work and institutional jobs with domestic sourcing language in the contract, so note that both origins are in play for this part number.
