Sta-Kon RB1123 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RB1123 fork terminal crimp?
The RB1123 is sized for 18-14 AWG conductor. Blue insulation is the standard color code for that range, so if you are working a panel with mixed gauges, the blue barrel tells you at a glance it is the 18-14 crimp and not the 22-16 or 12-10.
2) Will a No. 8 fork terminal fit the screw terminals on my control transformer or terminal block?
The RB1123 is cut for a No. 8 stud or screw. It will slip over a #8 screw without removing it fully, which is the whole point of a fork (spade) tongue instead of a ring. On a #10 or 1/4-20 stud the slot is too narrow, and on a #6 screw the head may pull through the tongue, so match the stud size before crimping a whole harness.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RB1123 terminal rated for 600 volt control wiring?
Rated 600 V, which covers standard control and power circuits in commercial panels, motor control centers, and lighting gear. It carries UL file E9809.
4) Should I use a fork terminal or a ring terminal for this connection?
The RB1123 is a fork type, so it goes on and comes off without backing the screw all the way out, which saves real time on terminal strips, relay bases, and anything you service often. A ring terminal is the better choice where vibration or a safety-critical circuit means the conductor must not be able to slide out from under a loosened screw. Same crimp range, same 600 V rating, different removal behavior.
5) Is the RB1123 barrel copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum conductors?
The barrel is copper. That makes it a copper-conductor terminal, the usual choice for stranded copper control and fixture wire. For aluminum conductors you need a terminal specifically marked AL or AL9CU with the right compound, not this one.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for Sta-Kon RB1123 terminals?
Use a controlled-cycle or color-coded insulated-terminal crimper set to the blue (18-14 AWG) nest. Sta-Kon terminals are designed around the matching Sta-Kon crimp die, and the blue die position lines up with this terminal's wire range. Pliers or an uncalibrated tool give a loose crimp that fails pull-out.
7) Are Sta-Kon RB1123 terminals made in the USA for Buy American or government project requirements?
Country of origin on the RB1123 is the United States. If your spec or procurement rule calls for domestic content on electrical components, this one is a US-origin part and carries UL file E9809.
8) What does the nylon insulation on the RB1123 give me over a vinyl insulated fork terminal?
Nylon is the tougher sleeve. It resists abrasion and cut-through better than vinyl when wires are pulled through a raceway or bundled tight in a panel, and it holds its shape under crimp pressure so the funnel entry stays open for stranded wire. The RB1123 is a nylon insulated fork terminal in 18-14 AWG.
9) What exact part number do I order for the blue 18-14 AWG No. 8 fork terminal?
Order Sta-Kon RB1123. That is the manufacturer part number for the nylon insulated fork terminal, 18-14 AWG, No. 8 stud, blue.
