Sta-Kon RCS10-6X – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RCS10-6X ring terminal take?
The RCS10-6X is sized for 12-10 AWG stranded copper wire, and the yellow insulation is the color code for that range on heat shrink terminals. If you are terminating 16-14 AWG or 8 AWG, this barrel will either not grip or not accept the conductor, so step to the terminal sized for that gauge instead.
2) Will a No. 6 ring terminal fit the stud on my terminal block or ground lug?
The RCS10-6X has a No. 6 ring, so it drops over a #6 screw or stud. On a 1/4-20 or #10 stud the ring will not pass over the threads, and on a smaller #4 screw the ring will be loose under the washer. Match the ring size to the stud before crimping, since the ring is not field-modifiable.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RCS10-6X rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes, it carries a 600 V rating, which covers typical commercial branch circuits, control panels, motor leads and 480Y/277 distribution work.
4) What is the advantage of a heat shrink ring terminal over a standard vinyl insulated one?
The RCS10-6X is a heat shrinkable ring terminal, so after crimping you apply heat and the sleeve shrinks down over the barrel and onto the wire jacket. That gives you a sealed, strain-relieved termination for damp locations, outdoor enclosures, rooftop units and pump or irrigation panels. A standard vinyl barrel terminal is quicker because it needs no heat gun, and it is fine inside a dry indoor panel, but it leaves the wire entry open to moisture.
5) What else do I need to install a Sta-Kon RCS10-6X terminal?
Two tools: a crimper sized for 12-10 AWG insulated terminals, and a heat source (heat gun) to shrink the sleeve down after the crimp. No ring or washer hardware ships with the terminal, so the mounting screw or stud hardware comes from the device you are landing on.
6) Is the RCS10-6X copper, and can I use it on aluminum conductors?
The barrel is copper, so it is intended for copper conductors. Aluminum wire requires a terminal rated AL or AL/CU with the appropriate inhibitor compound, which this one is not.
7) Is the Sta-Kon RCS10-6X made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the RCS10-6X is the United States, which is what institutional and government procurement typically needs documented for domestic-content requirements. The orderable part number is RCS10-6X.
8) I need to standardize ring terminals across a facility. How do I tell this one apart from the adjacent sizes?
Read it off the part number and the color. RCS10-6X is the 12-10 AWG (yellow) version with a No. 6 ring. Sta-Kon's heat shrink ring terminals change number with the wire range and the trailing digit with the stud size, so a different wire range or a different stud size is a different part. For a mixed fleet, stock by stud size per device type and keep the yellow 12-10 terminals separate from the smaller gauge colors to avoid a loose crimp.
