Summary of Sta-Kon Termination Products Ring Terminals

Sta-Kon Termination Products offer a comprehensive line of ring terminals designed for high-quality pressure connections, with numerous styles tailored to fit military applications. The Sta-Kon range of products not only meets but also exceeds the stringent test specification requirements set by military standards, UL (Underwriters Laboratories), and CSA (Canadian Standards Association).

The design of the Sta-Kon terminals incorporates an extra metal sleeve, which serves the purpose of gripping the insulation, adding to the robustness of the connection. The range includes terminals with both vinyl insulation and those without insulation (bare terminals). A key feature of these terminals is their brazed seam wire barrels, which are versatile enough to be crimped at any position along the barrel’s circumference. This unique design trait means these terminals can be effectively installed using crimping tools with either a single indentor or a double indentor—the latter is recommended for use with solid wire connections.

The barrels of the Sta-Kon terminals are serrated, a detail that enhances the grip on the wire, ensuring a secure and reliable electrical connection. For easy identification during installation, the wire range is clearly marked on the tongue of each terminal. Electrolytic copper construction is a standard for these terminals, ensuring high conductivity and a dependable electrical path.

Nylon-Insulated Ring Terminals Specifications

The datasheet lists detailed specifications for a variety of Sta-Kon’s nylon-insulated ring terminals. These specifications cover the wire range, bolt hole size, and recommended crimping tools. For each terminal category number, the datasheet provides:

Stock package quantity (Pkg Qty)
Applicable wire range (Wire Range)
Bolt hole size the terminal fits over (Bolt Hole)
Dimensions of the terminal in inches (Dimensions)
Recommended tooling (Rec Tool)

For instance, the RAX series of terminals, such as RAX23, RAX43, and RAX63, come in packages of 1,000 with a wire range of 26-24 gauge and vary in bolt hole sizes and dimensions. The RA18 series is intended for a wire range of 22-16 gauge, with specific variants listed for different bolt sizes, such as #4, #8, #10, 5/16 in, 3/8 in, and 1/2 in, along with recommended crimping tools such as WT145A and ERG4001.

The datasheet also notes that most standard bulk catalogue numbers can be placed on Mylar Tape for reel feed applications, suggesting a specific usage scenario with the 12050 tool and application. Customers are directed to add the suffix ‘M’ for products intended for Mylar tape applications.

Overall, the datasheet is a valuable resource for those requiring thorough details about Sta-Kon’s range of highly reliable ring terminals, showcasing their adaptability to various installation tools and applications, with special emphasis on their use within the military sector and other demanding environments.
