Sta-Kon RC2207-250 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC2207-250 locking fork terminal crimp onto?
The RC2207-250 is sized for 12 to 10 AWG stranded copper conductors. That is the yellow color code on vinyl insulated terminals, so if the wire you are terminating is 16-14 AWG you want a blue-barrel terminal instead, and 22-16 AWG takes red.
2) What does the "locking" part of a locking fork terminal actually do, and why pick it over a ring terminal?
A locking fork (spade) terminal has upturned tangs on the fork legs that grip under the screw head, so it resists backing out under vibration the way a plain spade can. The advantage over a ring terminal is that you can slide it in or out under a loosened screw without pulling the screw all the way out of the terminal block. Where the screw can never be removed, a ring is still the more secure choice; where you service terminal strips often, the RC2207-250 is the faster part.
3) Is this Sta-Kon terminal UL listed for use in panel work?
The RC2207-250 is covered under UL file E9809. Insulation is vinyl and the barrel is copper, so it is a standard listed crimp terminal for panel and control wiring.
4) Will a yellow Sta-Kon terminal crimp properly with my standard insulated-terminal tool?
Yes, as long as the tool has a yellow 12-10 AWG nest. Insulated crimp tools are color-keyed to the barrel, and the RC2207-250 is the yellow 12-10 size. Crimping it in the blue or red station will under-form the barrel and leave a connection that pulls off.
5) Can I use the RC2207-250 on aluminum building wire?
No. The barrel on the RC2207-250 is copper, so it is intended for copper conductors. Aluminum conductors need a terminal rated AL or AL9CU with the appropriate inhibitor compound.
6) Are these Sta-Kon locking fork terminals made in the USA for a government or institutional spec job?
Country of origin on the RC2207-250 is the United States, which is what a Buy American or federally funded MRO spec will ask for on wire termination hardware.
7) What is the exact part number to order for the yellow 12-10 Sta-Kon locking fork terminal?
Order Sta-Kon RC2207-250. It is a single model, yellow vinyl insulated locking fork for 12-10 AWG, so there are no finish or size options to specify.
