Sta-Kon B87NPM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon B87NPM ring terminal accept?
The B87NPM takes 18 to 14 AWG conductor. That covers the usual control, fixture, and low-voltage runs in a panel or junction box. Anything heavier than 14 AWG needs a larger barrel terminal, and anything finer than 18 AWG will not crimp reliably in this barrel.
2) Is this Sta-Kon ring terminal insulated or bare?
Bare. The B87NPM is a non-insulated copper ring terminal, so the crimp barrel is exposed metal. If the connection needs covering you add heat shrink or tape over the barrel yourself. Where a factory insulating sleeve and a color-coded gauge band are wanted, specify an insulated ring terminal instead.
3) Can a non-insulated ring terminal be used for a ground bonding connection?
Yes, that is the common use for a bare copper ring. With a No. 10 ring and an 18-14 AWG barrel it suits bonding jumpers to a 10-32 green ground screw in a box, enclosure, or fixture canopy. The bare barrel also lets you inspect the crimp after the fact.
4) What tool do I need to crimp the Sta-Kon B87NPM?
A non-insulated crimp die, not the color-coded insulated nest. Non-insulated barrels are crimped with the indenter or oval die on the bare-terminal side of the tool, matched to the 18-14 AWG range. Using an insulated-terminal nest on a bare barrel gives an under-formed crimp.
5) Does the B87NPM come loose or on a strip for a production crimper?
These are tape-mounted, supplied as a continuous strip rather than loose pieces, which is what feeds a semi-automatic or bench crimping machine. For hand work the terminals are simply broken off the carrier.
6) Is the Sta-Kon B87NPM made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which matters on federal, state, and institutional jobs carrying a domestic-content requirement on electrical material.
7) What is the exact part number to order for this Sta-Kon ring terminal?
Order Sta-Kon B87NPM. That is the manufacturer part number for the bare copper, No. 10 ring, 18-14 AWG, tape-mounted terminal.
