Sta-Kon RB1157-200 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RB1157-200 fork terminal crimp onto?
The RB1157-200 is sized for 18-14 AWG stranded or solid copper conductor. That is the blue color code band, so if you are working off a color-coded crimp tool the blue die is the one to use. For 22-16 AWG you need a red terminal instead, and for 12-10 AWG a yellow one.
2) Will the RB1157-200 fork terminal fit a #10 screw terminal block?
Yes. The RB1157-200 is built for a No. 10 stud or screw, so the fork slot slides over a #10 binding-head screw without removing the screw entirely. On a smaller #6 or #8 screw the fork will sit loose and can slip out from under the head, so match the stud size.
3) Is this Sta-Kon terminal UL listed?
Yes, the RB1157-200 carries UL file E9809. That is the reference an inspector or a spec reviewer on an institutional job will ask for when the terminal is being used in listed equipment or a control panel.
4) Should I use a fork terminal or a ring terminal on a terminal strip?
A fork (spade) terminal like the RB1157-200 slides in under a loosened screw, so you can land or remove a wire without pulling the screw out of the block. That is why they get used on crowded terminal strips and device screws where service time matters. A ring terminal is captive and cannot vibrate off the stud, so it is the better choice on motor leads, busbar studs, and anything subject to vibration. Both take 18-14 AWG in the blue size.
5) What is the conductor barrel made of on the RB1157-200?
Copper. A copper barrel crimps onto copper conductor without the dissimilar-metal problem you get mixing aluminum, and it holds the compression well in a standard ratchet crimper. The vinyl sleeve over it is the insulation and the 600 V rating.
6) Are these fork terminals made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin on the RB1157-200 is the United States. On federal, state or institutional work with domestic-sourcing language, that is the data point procurement will want recorded against the submittal.
7) What part number do I order for a blue 18-14 AWG No. 10 fork terminal from Sta-Kon?
RB1157-200 is the Sta-Kon part number for the expanded-insulation vinyl fork terminal in the blue 18-14 AWG range with a No. 10 stud opening. Order by that number to get the matching insulation color and stud size together.
