Sta-Kon RB1124 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RB1124 fork terminal crimp?
The RB1124 is sized for 18-14 AWG conductors, which is the blue color code band on insulated terminals. Run anything larger, like 12 AWG, and the barrel will not accept the strands; smaller than 18 AWG and the crimp will not hold. The barrel is copper.
2) What screw size does the Sta-Kon RB1124 fork terminal fit?
It's a No. 8 stud fork, so it slips over a #8 screw or terminal-block stud without removing the screw entirely. That makes it the right pick for panel terminal strips, contactor blocks, and barrier strips where you only want to back the screw off a turn.
3) Is the RB1124 terminal rated for 600 volt control wiring?
Yes. The nylon insulated fork terminal carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809, which covers typical motor control, panel, and lighting control circuits.
4) Should I use a fork terminal or a ring terminal on a terminal block?
A fork (spade) like the RB1124 is the faster choice on a terminal strip because you loosen the #8 screw and slide the lug in sideways, no disassembly. A ring terminal is the safer choice on vibrating equipment or where a code or spec requires a captive connection, since a fork can back out if the screw loosens. For panel wiring in 18-14 AWG on #8 screws, the fork is the usual pick.
5) Why is nylon insulation used on the RB1124 instead of vinyl?
Nylon insulation resists abrasion and cut-through better than vinyl and holds up to higher temperatures, which matters in tight panels where conductors are pulled past sheet metal edges or bundled against hot components. The RB1124 is nylon insulated over a copper barrel.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for Sta-Kon RB1124 terminals?
Use a crimper matched to insulated terminals in the blue 18-14 AWG range. The color band is the index: blue dies for this part, red for 22-18, yellow for 12-10. A pliers-style uninsulated crimper will crush the nylon sleeve and give you an unreliable joint.
7) Is the Sta-Kon RB1124 made in the USA?
Country of origin on the RB1124 fork terminal is the United States, which matters if you're buying against a domestic-preference or Buy American line on a government or institutional purchase order.
