Sta-Kon RCS10-10X – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RCS10-10X ring terminal take?
The RCS10-10X is sized for 12-10 AWG conductors, which is the yellow color code on insulated terminals. Run 14 AWG or smaller in it and the crimp won't hold properly; step down to a blue 16-14 AWG terminal for those conductors.
2) Why use a heat shrink ring terminal instead of a standard vinyl insulated one?
The insulation on this Sta-Kon terminal is heat shrinkable, so after crimping you shrink the sleeve down over the conductor insulation and get a sealed, strain relieved joint. That's what you want in wet locations, outdoors, marine, or anywhere the connection sees vibration or washdown. For dry indoor panel work a standard vinyl insulated ring does the same electrical job with less labor, since no heat gun step is needed.
3) Is this ring terminal rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes, the RCS10-10X carries a 600 V rating, which covers typical commercial and industrial branch circuit and control panel work.
4) Is the barrel on this ring terminal copper or aluminum?
Copper. That means it's intended for copper conductors, not aluminum. Aluminum wire needs an AL/CU rated connector with the appropriate compound.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for the Sta-Kon RCS10-10X?
It crimps like any insulated 12-10 AWG terminal, so use the yellow-coded nest or die position on an insulated terminal crimper. After the crimp, apply heat to shrink the sleeve over the wire insulation, which is the step that makes the seal.
6) Is the Sta-Kon RCS10-10X made in the USA for Buy American jobs?
Country of origin on the RCS10-10X is the United States, which is the detail government, institutional, and federally funded project buyers usually need confirmed before releasing a PO.
