Sta-Kon RC10-6X – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon RC10-6X ring terminal accept?
The RC10-6X takes 12 to 10 AWG stranded copper wire. The yellow insulation is the color code for that range, so on a panel you can tell at a glance which barrel size was crimped without pulling the wire.
2) What stud or screw size fits the RC10-6X ring terminal?
It is a #6 ring, so it lands on a #6 stud or screw. If your terminal block or ground lug uses a #8 or #10 screw, the #6 tongue will not pass over it and you need a larger ring in the same 12-10 AWG barrel.
3) Is this ring terminal rated for 600 volt control and lighting circuits?
Yes. The nylon insulated RC10-6X carries a 600 V rating, which covers standard 120/208/240/480 V control, lighting, and power wiring. It is UL recognized under file E9809.
4) Ring terminal or fork terminal for a #6 terminal screw?
A ring terminal like the RC10-6X has to be slipped over the screw, so the screw must come fully out, but once it is torqued the connection cannot vibrate off the stud. A fork or spade terminal slides in from the side and is faster to service on a crowded terminal strip. For ground connections, motor leads, and anything on a vibrating machine, use the ring.
5) Is the RC10-6X conductor barrel copper or aluminum?
Copper. That keeps it matched to copper conductors with no dissimilar-metal concern at the crimp. It is not an AL/CU rated lug, so do not put aluminum conductors in it.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for the RC10-6X?
Yes, it needs a crimper with the yellow 12-10 AWG nest for insulated terminals. Crimping a 12-10 barrel in a 16-14 (blue) or 22-18 (red) die over-compresses the barrel and can cut the conductor; pliers will not produce a code-acceptable crimp. The tool is a separate purchase.
7) Will nylon insulation hold up better than vinyl on this terminal?
The RC10-6X uses a nylon insulating sleeve, which resists abrasion and cut-through from panel edges and holds its shape at higher temperatures better than vinyl. That matters where the terminal is pulled through a wireway or sits near a heat source.
8) What is the exact part number and country of origin for this Sta-Kon ring terminal?
Order it as Sta-Kon RC10-6X. It is made in the United States.
