Sta-Kon NW83 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon NW83 ring terminal accept?
The NW83 is sized for 16-14 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. If your conductor is 12 AWG or larger, or 18 AWG and smaller, this barrel will not crimp correctly and you need a different size terminal in the series.
2) Can I use the NW83 ring terminal in a high temperature location like a furnace or heater?
Yes, that is what it is built for. The NW83 is a high temperature uninsulated ring terminal made of nickel alloy rather than plain tinned copper, which is why it is used on heating elements, furnace limit switches, oven and appliance wiring where an insulated vinyl barrel would break down.
3) Is the Sta-Kon NW83 insulated?
No. It is a bare, non-insulated ring terminal in a metallic finish, so the crimp barrel is exposed. If the connection sits near other live terminals or needs strain relief at the wire entry, either sleeve it with heat shrink or choose a nylon or vinyl insulated ring terminal instead.
4) What voltage is the Sta-Kon NW83 terminal rated for?
600 volts. That covers standard commercial and industrial control wiring, line voltage motor and heater circuits, and low voltage control work. Because the terminal is bare, keep the 600 V rating in mind for clearance between adjacent terminals in a crowded box or panel.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for a non-insulated ring terminal like the NW83?
Yes. Uninsulated terminals crimp with a non-insulated die, which is a different nest than the red/blue/yellow color coded insulated dies on a common ratchet crimper. Use the uninsulated (often oval or W-shaped indenter) station sized for 16-14 AWG. Crimping a bare barrel in an insulated die gives a loose, unreliable joint.
6) Should I use a ring terminal or a spade terminal on a #10 screw?
A ring terminal like the NW83 has to come off the stud entirely, so the screw must be backed all the way out, but it cannot vibrate loose off the post. A spade or fork terminal slides out under a loosened screw, which is faster for service work. For vibration-prone equipment, motor connections, and anything a code inspector looks at on a grounding screw, the closed ring is the one to use.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon NW83 ring terminal made?
The NW83 is manufactured in the United States, which matters on government, institutional, and federally funded projects carrying domestic sourcing requirements.
