Sta-Kon NW84 UNINS HITEMP RING TERM 16-14 No12

The NW84 is sized for 16 to 14 AWG conductors. Stranded wire in that range crimps into the barrel without doubling back; anything heavier than 14 AWG or lighter than 16 AWG needs a different terminal, since an out-of-range crimp is the usual cause of a pulled-off lug.

No insulation on this one, it is a bare metal ring terminal. That means you provide the dielectric yourself, normally heat shrink or sleeving over the barrel, and you keep adequate spacing at crowded terminal blocks. The trade-off is that a non-insulated barrel tolerates heat that would char a nylon or vinyl sleeve, which is why this style gets used in high temperature terminations.

Nickel alloy, left bare with a metallic finish. That is the reason this lug goes into hot locations such as heater terminations, oven and furnace wiring, and motor connections where a tin-plated copper lug with a plastic sleeve would not hold up.

Pick the ring, like the NW84, where the connection cannot be allowed to back out under vibration, since the tongue is captive on the stud once the nut is torqued. A fork or spade tongue slides out sideways and lets you service a dense terminal strip without pulling every nut, but it can work loose. Ground lugs, heater terminals, and motor leads are typical ring applications.

Yes, non-insulated barrels crimp with the non-insulated die set, not the color-coded insulated dies. The NW84 falls in the 16-14 AWG range, so use the die nest marked for that size. An insulated-die crimp on a bare barrel will not form the right indent.

Country of origin on the NW84 is the United States, which is what buyers working to domestic-sourcing requirements usually need confirmed before they can put it on a purchase order. The orderable part number is NW84.
