Sta-Kon RC364 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RC364 ring terminal take?
The RC364 is sized for 12 to 10 AWG conductors. The yellow insulation is the standard color code for that range, so on a panel build you can spot the 12-10 crimps without pulling the wire. For 16-14 AWG you need a blue-coded terminal and for 22-18 a red one, not this part.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RC364 rated for 600 volt control and power circuits?
The RC364 carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809, so it is acceptable for the 600 volt control panels, motor starters, and distribution gear most commercial and industrial work runs at.
3) Is the RC364 terminal copper or aluminum, and can I land it on an aluminum conductor?
The barrel is copper, so the RC364 is for copper conductors only. Aluminum wire needs a terminal marked AL or AL9CU with the appropriate oxide-inhibiting compound; crimping aluminum into a copper barrel creates a dissimilar metal joint that will corrode and loosen.
4) What is the difference between a nylon insulated ring terminal and a vinyl one?
Nylon insulation, which is what the RC364 uses, holds up better to heat and to the abrasion of being pulled through a wire bundle, and it resists cracking when the sleeve is flared during crimping. Vinyl is the cheaper general-purpose sleeve and is more common on low-temperature, non-industrial work. For panel and MRO use where terminals get re-landed, nylon is the usual spec.
5) Why use a ring terminal instead of a spade terminal on a 12 AWG conductor?
A ring is captive. It cannot back off the stud if the screw loosens, which is why ring terminals like the RC364 are specified for grounds, motor leads, and anything subject to vibration. A fork or spade slides out from under a loosened screw but lets you land the wire without fully removing the hardware, so it is faster on dense terminal strips you service often. For a #10 stud on equipment that vibrates, take the ring.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for Sta-Kon RC364 terminals?
Use a ratcheting crimper with the yellow 12-10 AWG nest, matched to the insulated-terminal die profile. Pliers or an unrated stamped tool will not produce the compression the UL E9809 recognition is based on, and an under-crimped ring on a 600 V circuit is a heat point. Strip to the barrel length, bottom the conductor out, and crimp on the barrel, not on the ring tongue.
7) Is the Sta-Kon RC364 made in the USA?
Country of origin on the RC364 is the United States, which matters if you are filling a government, public-works, or institutional order carrying a domestic-content requirement.
8) What is the exact part number to order for the Sta-Kon 12-10 AWG #10 ring terminal?
Order Sta-Kon RC364. That single manufacturer part number covers the yellow nylon insulated ring terminal for 12-10 AWG copper wire on a No. 10 stud; there are no finish or size options to specify alongside it.
