Sta-Kon A459 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon A459 terminal take?
The A459 is sized for 1-2 Navy wire, so it is built for the heavier conductor range rather than standard small-gauge control wiring. If you are terminating 14 to 10 AWG hook-up wire, this is the wrong lug and you want a smaller Sta-Kon barrel size.
2) Is the Sta-Kon A459 lug copper, and can it be used on aluminum conductors?
Copper. The A459 is a copper-barrel terminal, which means it is intended for copper conductors. For aluminum or copper-clad aluminum feeders you need a lug rated AL9CU or similar dual-rated connector, not a straight copper terminal.
3) What does "brazed" mean on a Sta-Kon terminal, and why would I choose it?
A brazed Sta-Kon lug has the barrel seam joined with braze rather than left as a rolled butt seam. That gives a closed, continuous barrel wall that will not open up under high crimp pressure, which is why brazed-barrel lugs get specified for larger conductors and vibration-prone or marine and Navy-spec work. The A459 is the brazed version, sized for 1-2 Navy wire.
4) Do I need a special crimp tool for the Sta-Kon A459, or can I use pliers?
A terminal in the 1-2 Navy barrel range needs a proper hydraulic or heavy mechanical crimper with the matching die, not hand pliers and not a small insulated-terminal tool. A partial crimp on a copper barrel this size leaves a high-resistance joint that heats under load. The A459 itself ships as the terminal only, so the tool and die are a separate purchase.
5) Is the Sta-Kon A459 an insulated terminal?
No. The A459 is a bare brazed copper lug with no insulating sleeve or nylon body. If the termination sits in a panel where the barrel could be touched or could flash to an adjacent phase, plan on heat-shrink or a boot over the finished crimp.
6) How many versions of the Sta-Kon A459 are there, and what part number do I order?
One. The A459 is a single configuration, ordered as part number A459, with no finish, size or insulation options to specify.
