Sta-Kon 10RC-10FLX – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon 10RC-10FLX fork terminal take?
The 10RC-10FLX is sized for 12-10 AWG stranded copper wire, which is why the insulation is yellow. Under the standard terminal color code, yellow means 12-10 AWG, blue means 16-14 and red means 22-16, so if the conductors you are landing are 14 AWG or smaller this is the wrong barrel and the crimp will not hold.
2) Is this Sta-Kon terminal rated for 600 volt control and power circuits?
Yes, the 10RC-10FLX carries a 600 V rating, which covers typical 120/208, 240, 277 and 480 V building power and control wiring. It is UL recognized under file E9809.
3) Why choose a locking fork terminal instead of a ring terminal on a control panel?
A locking fork terminal slides under an existing screw or stud without pulling the screw all the way out, so it is the faster termination on crowded terminal blocks, contactors and panel strips. The turned-up tangs on the 10RC-10FLX fork resist backing out under vibration. A ring terminal is the better pick where code or spec requires a fully captive connection that cannot be slipped off a loosened screw.
4) Are these fork terminals copper, and can I use them on aluminum conductors?
The barrel on the 10RC-10FLX is copper, so it is for copper conductors only. Aluminum wire needs a connector specifically listed AL9CU or AL7CU for that service; putting aluminum into a copper-only barrel creates a dissimilar metal joint that loosens and heats up.
5) What part number should I order for a yellow 12-10 AWG locking fork terminal from Sta-Kon?
Order Sta-Kon model 10RC-10FLX. That is the manufacturer part number for the yellow vinyl insulated locking fork terminal covering 12-10 AWG copper wire.
6) Is the Sta-Kon 10RC-10FLX made in the USA for buy-American jobs?
Country of origin on the 10RC-10FLX is the United States, which matters on federally funded and institutional work with domestic sourcing requirements.
7) Does the vinyl insulation on this terminal need extra sleeving or heat shrink?
No added sleeving is needed. The 10RC-10FLX comes with factory vinyl insulation over the barrel, rated 600 V, so the crimp is insulated as supplied. If you need strain relief on a flexing cord or a moisture seal, that is where you would step up to a heat-shrink insulated terminal instead.
