Metallics MWSC121010 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Metallics MWSC121010 spade terminal accept?
It is sized for #12 to #10 AWG conductors. Stranded wire in that range crimps into the barrel; anything thinner than #10 gauge belongs in a different color code barrel, and anything heavier than #12 will not seat.
2) Spade terminal or ring terminal for a panel termination?
A spade like this #12-10, #10 stud terminal slides under a loosened screw without removing it, which is why electricians use it on terminal strips and control panels where you are landing a lot of conductors fast. A ring terminal has to come all the way off the stud to install, but it cannot vibrate loose sideways, so it is the choice for motor leads, battery posts, and equipment grounds subject to vibration.
3) Do I need a special tool to crimp the Metallics MWSC121010?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper matched to the #12-10 AWG range, which on most crimp tools is the yellow nest. Pliers or a non-insulated die will crush the barrel and give you a high-resistance joint. Strip only enough insulation that the conductor bottoms out in the barrel with no bare copper showing past the sleeve.
