Sta-Kon RC1147-250 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC1147-250 fork terminal crimp onto?
The RC1147-250 is sized for 12-10 AWG stranded copper conductors. The yellow vinyl insulation is the standard color code for that gauge range, so on a panel full of mixed terminals the yellow barrels are your 12-10 crimps and the blue ones are 16-14. Put it on a smaller conductor and the crimp won't hold; step down to a blue-insulated terminal instead.
2) What screw or stud size does this Sta-Kon fork terminal fit?
It's a No. 8 stud terminal, so it slips over a #8 screw or terminal post. The fork (spade) tongue means you can slide it under a loosened screw head without pulling the screw all the way out, which is why electricians favor them on terminal blocks and strip terminals over a ring tongue.
3) Is a fork terminal or a ring terminal the right choice for my control panel wiring?
A fork tongue like the RC1147-250 is the faster install: back the #8 screw off a couple turns and slide the terminal in, no disconnecting the rest of the stack. A ring terminal has to come over the top of the screw, so the screw comes out, but it can't vibrate off the stud. Use the fork for serviceable terminal strips and control panels where you're swapping wires; use a ring where vibration or safety-critical retention matters.
4) Is this Sta-Kon terminal UL listed for commercial and institutional work?
Yes. The terminal carries UL file E9809, which is the credential most facility and institutional specs ask for on field-installed wire terminations. Combined with the 600 V rating it's acceptable for standard commercial control and power terminations within its 12-10 AWG range.
5) Is the Sta-Kon RC1147-250 made in the USA for Buy American projects?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what government, school district, and transit procurement people need on record for domestic-content requirements.
6) What is the exact part number for the yellow 12-10 AWG No. 8 Sta-Kon fork terminal?
Order Sta-Kon RC1147-250. That number covers the expanded-barrel vinyl insulated fork terminal, 12-10 AWG, No. 8 stud, yellow.
