Sta-Kon RC2577F – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RC2577F flag disconnect crimp onto?
The RC2577F takes 12-10 AWG stranded wire, which is what the yellow nylon insulation tells you at a glance on a Sta-Kon terminal. If you're terminating 16-14 or 22-18 gauge, this barrel is too large to get a reliable crimp, so step down to the blue or red equivalent instead.
2) What does the 90 degree flag style on the RC2577F do for me in a tight enclosure?
The flag body turns the wire 90 degrees to the mating tab instead of running straight off it, so the conductor lays flat alongside the terminal block or switch rather than needing clearance straight out in front. That's the reason to pick a flag over a straight female disconnect when you're working behind a motor cover, inside a shallow junction box, or stacking terminals close together.
3) What is the terminal made of, and will the insulation hold up to heat?
The conductive body is brass, and the sleeve is nylon/polyamide rather than vinyl. Nylon is the tougher of the two insulated terminal materials, better at resisting abrasion, crush during crimping and higher operating temperatures, which is why it's the usual choice for motor leads and appliance wiring over PVC-insulated terminals.
4) Do I need a male counterpart, or does this disconnect come as a pair?
The RC2577F is the female half only. It slips onto an existing 1/4 inch male tab on a device, or onto a separate male disconnect if you're splicing two wires. For a wire-to-wire connection you'll need to order the matching 250 series male disconnect for 12-10 AWG separately.
5) What does open top mean on a nylon insulated disconnect, and does it change how I crimp it?
Open top means the insulation sleeve is slotted over the crimp barrel so the die contacts the metal directly through the opening. You crimp it with the barrel visible, which lets you confirm the conductor is fully inserted before and after crimping. Use a die sized for 12-10 AWG insulated terminals, not an uninsulated or open-barrel die.
6) Are Sta-Kon RC2577F disconnects made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which matters if you're buying against a Buy American or domestic-preference requirement on a government, school or healthcare project. The part number to cite on the submittal is RC2577F.
