Sta-Kon RC717-250 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC717-250 ring terminal accept?
The RC717-250 is sized for 12 to 10 AWG conductors. The yellow vinyl insulation is the standard color code for that gauge range, so on a panel where crimps are color-sorted, yellow tells the next tech the barrel is 12-10. Anything smaller (16-14) will not grip in this barrel and needs a blue terminal instead.
2) Is this terminal rated for 600 volt control and power circuits?
The RC717-250 carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809, which covers it for standard 600 V industrial control panels, motor connections and lighting circuits.
3) Ring terminal or fork terminal for a 1/4 inch stud connection?
Use the ring, like this RC717-250, anywhere the connection is subject to vibration or where code or inspection requires a captive termination: motor leads, grounding, bus bar pads. A fork or spade slides on without removing the nut, which is faster for frequent service work, but it can back out. The tradeoff is install time versus a connection that cannot walk off the stud.
4) Is the Sta-Kon RC717-250 barrel copper or aluminum?
Copper. That matters on two counts: it is intended for copper conductors, not aluminum feeders, and a copper barrel crimps and holds without the inhibitor compound an aluminum lug needs.
5) Does this Sta-Kon terminal need a special crimp tool?
Insulated 12-10 AWG terminals like the RC717-250 crimp with the yellow-coded nest of a standard insulated-terminal crimper. Pliers or an uninsulated-die tool will crush the vinyl sleeve and leave a connection that will not hold the UL E9809 rating the terminal was tested under.
6) Is the Sta-Kon RC717-250 made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States. For federal, municipal and institutional jobs with domestic-sourcing language in the spec, that is the detail procurement needs on file.
7) What is the Sta-Kon part number for a 12-10 AWG insulated ring terminal with a 1/4 inch bolt hole?
RC717-250. That is the manufacturer part number to order or cross reference, and it is the same number stamped in Sta-Kon's catalog for the yellow 600 V vinyl insulated ring.
