Sta-Kon RC2227-250M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC2227-250M fork terminal accept?
The RC2227-250M takes 12-10 AWG wire. The yellow vinyl insulation is the standard color code for that range, so on a panel you can tell it apart from red (22-16) and blue (16-14) terminals at a glance without pulling the wire.
2) Can I use these yellow fork terminals on a 480V motor control circuit?
Yes. The Sta-Kon RC2227-250M locking fork terminal is rated 600 V, which covers 480V control and power wiring. It also carries UL file E9809.
3) What is the difference between a locking fork terminal and a plain spade terminal?
A locking fork terminal has turned-up or hooked tips on the fork tines so the lug cannot slip out from under the screw head if the screw loosens, while still letting you slide it on without removing the screw. A plain spade slides off just as easily as it slides on. For vibration-prone equipment, motor starters, and terminal blocks that get re-worked, the locking style is what you want; for a one-time connection a ring terminal is the most secure option but requires pulling the screw all the way out.
4) Are these Sta-Kon terminals copper, and does that matter for aluminum wire?
The barrel is copper, so these are intended for copper conductors. Do not crimp aluminum wire in a copper-only terminal, aluminum needs an AL/CU rated lug with the appropriate inhibitor compound.
5) Do these come on a tape reel for a machine applicator?
Yes, the RC2227-250M is a tape-mounted (reeled) version of the vinyl insulated locking fork terminal, which is what a semi-automatic or bench applicator feeds from. If you are crimping by hand with a standard insulated-terminal tool, loose-piece terminals in the same 12-10 AWG yellow range are the easier format.
6) Is the RC2227-250M made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the Sta-Kon RC2227-250M is the United States, which is the documentation a government or institutional spec with domestic sourcing language usually asks for.
