Sta-Kon RC2207-250M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RC2207-250M fork terminal take?
The RC2207-250M locking fork terminal is sized for 12-10 AWG stranded wire. The yellow insulation is the standard color code for that range, so on a panel where you also have red (22-16) and blue (16-14) terminals, the yellow barrel tells you at a glance it is the 12-10 size. Anything smaller than 10 AWG solid or stranded will not crimp reliably in this barrel.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RC2207-250M UL recognized?
Yes. The RC2207-250M carries UL file E9809. If you are terminating control or motor leads in a listed panel and your inspector wants the terminal covered by a UL file number, that is the one to cite.
3) What is the difference between a locking fork terminal and a plain spade terminal?
A locking fork has turned-up tips on the tongue that hook behind the screw head, so the terminal cannot slide off sideways under vibration once the screw is snugged. A plain spade slides straight off if the screw backs out. The RC2207-250M is the locking style, which is what you want on terminal strips in motor control, HVAC panels, and anywhere the assembly sees vibration. A ring terminal is more secure still, but it requires removing the screw completely, which a fork does not.
4) Can I crimp the Sta-Kon RC2207-250M with any standard crimper?
Use a crimper with a color-coded insulated-terminal nest matched to the yellow 12-10 AWG range. The vinyl sleeve on the RC2207-250M is crimped through along with the barrel, so an uninsulated-terminal die or pliers will split the sleeve and give you a loose joint. A ratcheting insulated-terminal tool set to the yellow station is the right choice.
5) Is the insulation on the RC2207-250M vinyl or nylon?
Vinyl. The RC2207-250M uses a vinyl insulating sleeve, which is the common choice for general-purpose panel and control wiring. If your spec calls for nylon insulation because of higher temperature or abrasion requirements, this is not the terminal to use.
6) Where is the Sta-Kon RC2207-250M made?
The RC2207-250M fork terminal is manufactured in the United States, which matters if you are buying for a government, federal, or institutional job carrying domestic-sourcing language.
