Sta-Kon 10RC-516X – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon 10RC-516X ring terminal crimp onto?
The 10RC-516X is sized for 12-10 AWG stranded copper conductor. The yellow vinyl insulation is the standard color code for that range, so on a panel you can identify it at a glance without reading the barrel stamp. For 16-14 AWG you need a blue terminal, and for 22-18 AWG a red one.
2) Is the Sta-Kon 10RC-516X terminal copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum conductors?
The barrel is copper, so it is intended for copper conductors only. Aluminum wire needs a terminal specifically marked AL or AL9CU; putting bare copper on aluminum creates a dissimilar metal joint that corrodes and heats up.
3) What crimp tool do I need for a 12-10 AWG insulated ring terminal?
Use an insulated terminal crimper matched to the yellow 12-10 AWG nest. Insulated barrels crimp through the sleeve with a color coded or AWG marked die, and a bare terminal tool or pliers will crush the vinyl and give you an uncertified joint. The 10RC-516X is a 12-10 AWG terminal, so set the tool to that station.
4) Does the vinyl insulation on this Sta-Kon terminal need heat shrink or extra sleeving?
No sleeving is required. The 10RC-516X is a vinyl insulated terminal, so the insulation sleeve over the barrel is part of the terminal and covers the crimp and the end of the wire jacket once it is crimped. If your application needs strain relief or moisture sealing, that is where a heat shrink insulated terminal is used instead.
5) Are Sta-Kon 10RC-516X ring terminals made in the USA?
Country of origin on the 10RC-516X is the United States, which matters if you are filling a government, federal or institutional order with domestic sourcing language in the spec.
