Sta-Kon AB14-8A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon AB14-8A flag terminal accept?
The AB14-8A takes 22 to 14 AWG stranded copper wire, so one part covers most control, signal, and low-current branch conductors on a panel. If your conductor is 12 AWG or larger, you need a different barrel size entirely, not this one.
2) What stud or screw size does the AB14-8A flag terminal fit?
It's sized for a No. 8 stud or screw. The ring won't pass over a 1/4-inch stud, and on a No. 6 terminal screw the hole will be loose enough that you want a lock washer or the correct smaller ring instead.
3) Why use a flag terminal instead of a standard ring terminal?
A flag terminal brings the wire in at 90 degrees to the stud, so the conductor runs parallel to the mounting surface rather than straight off it. That's what you use in a crowded motor terminal box, a tight panel gutter, or behind a device where a straight ring terminal would force a sharp bend in the wire. If you have depth to work with, a standard ring or fork terminal is simpler.
4) Is the Sta-Kon AB14-8A insulated?
No. It's a bare, non-insulated copper terminal with a metallic finish. You'll need to sleeve it yourself, heat shrink or a nylon insulator, anywhere the crimp could contact an adjacent live part or a grounded enclosure wall.
5) Is the AB14-8A flag terminal UL listed?
It carries UL file E9809. That matters if you're terminating in a listed panel or submitting work for inspection in a healthcare, education, or government facility where unlisted connectors get flagged.
6) Can I crimp the Sta-Kon AB14-8A with generic pliers?
Don't. It's a non-insulated barrel, which needs a non-insulated (open barrel style is different again) crimp die matched to the 22-14 AWG range. A generic plier crimp on bare copper gives you an unreliable mechanical joint and no pull-out strength. Use a ratcheting tool with the correct non-insulated die nest for the gauge you're terminating.
7) Can I use this copper flag terminal on aluminum conductors?
No. The AB14-8A barrel is copper and rated for copper wire only. Aluminum conductors need a connector specifically marked AL or AL9CU, otherwise you get galvanic corrosion and a loosening joint over time.
8) Is the AB14-8A terminal made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States. That answers the Buy American and domestic-preference question on federal, municipal, and some institutional procurement.
9) How do I order the right Sta-Kon flag terminal, and what exactly is AB14-8A?
AB14-8A is the manufacturer part number, and it's one fixed configuration: non-insulated copper flag terminal, 22-14 AWG barrel, No. 8 stud. There are no finish or size options to choose, so the only thing to confirm when you order is the wire gauge and the stud size on your equipment.
