Sta-Kon RA1167-170 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA1167-170 fork terminal crimp onto?
The RA1167-170 is sized for 22 to 16 AWG stranded copper conductor. That red insulation is the standard color code for the 22-16 range, so on a bench full of mixed terminals you can pick it out by color. For 16-14 AWG you need the blue range instead, and for 12-10 AWG the yellow.
2) What screw size does this Sta-Kon fork terminal fit?
It is a No. 6 stud terminal, so the fork slot drops over a #6 screw or stud, the size most commonly found on terminal blocks, thermostat subbases and control panel strips. If your block uses #8 or #10 screws, the slot is too narrow and you need the larger stud size.
3) Can I use a fork terminal instead of a ring terminal on a terminal block?
A fork (spade) terminal like the RA1167-170 slides in under a screw that is only loosened, so you can add or remove a conductor without pulling the screw out of the block. A ring terminal is captive and will not back off if the screw loosens, which is why it is preferred on vibrating equipment and on grounding studs. For panel wiring and control terminations where serviceability matters, the fork is the usual pick.
4) Is this terminal rated for 600 volt control and panel wiring?
Yes, the vinyl insulated barrel on the RA1167-170 carries a 600 V rating, which covers standard control circuits, motor control panels and line voltage branch wiring at 120/208/240/480 V.
5) Is the Sta-Kon RA1167-170 UL listed?
It is covered under UL file E9809. If you are submitting a panel or control assembly for inspection, that file number is what an AHJ or QA reviewer will want against the terminal.
6) Is this fork terminal copper or aluminum, and can I put it on aluminum wire?
The barrel is copper, so it is for copper conductors only. Aluminum conductor needs an AL9CU or aluminum-rated connector; crimping aluminum into a copper-only barrel sets up galvanic corrosion and a high-resistance joint.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon RA1167-170 terminal made?
Country of origin is the United States. On government, institutional and federally funded work where domestic sourcing is part of the spec, that is the detail procurement usually has to document.
