Sta-Kon RA1103 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA1103 fork terminal crimp onto?
The RA1103 is sized for 22 to 16 AWG stranded copper wire, which is the red insulation color code range. If you're terminating 14 or 12 AWG, you need the next size up (blue, 16-14, or yellow, 12-10) instead, since over-stuffing a red barrel gives you a crimp that will pull out.
2) Will a Sta-Kon RA1103 fit a #6 screw terminal?
Yes. The RA1103 is a No. 6 stud size fork terminal, so it slides under a #6 binding head screw on a terminal block, device, or control panel. The fork (spade) opening means you only have to back the screw out, not remove it, which is why electricians favor these over ring terminals on crowded strips.
3) Is a fork terminal or a ring terminal better for panel wiring?
A fork terminal like the RA1103 is the faster choice for service and retermination work: the open slot lets you loosen the #6 screw and drop the wire in or pull it out without pulling the screw all the way. A ring terminal is captive, so it will not back off a loosened screw, which is why ring is preferred on vibration-prone equipment and on anything subject to inspection requiring a closed connection. Same crimp, same 22-16 wire range, different retention behavior.
4) Is the insulation on the Sta-Kon RA1103 nylon or vinyl?
Nylon. The RA1103 uses a nylon insulating sleeve rather than PVC, so it handles higher temperatures and resists abrasion and cut-through better when wires are pulled through a raceway or bundled tight in a panel. The sleeve is red, matching the 22-16 AWG size code.
5) Do I need a special crimper for Sta-Kon RA1103 terminals?
Use an insulated-terminal crimp tool with the red nest, matching the 22-16 AWG barrel. The barrel is copper, so a controlled-cycle or ratcheting insulated crimper gives a repeatable crimp; pliers or a cheap stamped tool will deform the nylon sleeve and leave a connection that pulls free. No solder is needed or wanted on a crimped terminal.
6) Is the Sta-Kon RA1103 made in the USA?
Yes, the RA1103 nylon insulated fork terminal is manufactured in the United States, which is the detail that matters on government, federal facility, and Buy American specified jobs.
7) What is the Sta-Kon part number for a red #6 fork terminal?
RA1103 is the Sta-Kon manufacturer part number for the nylon insulated fork terminal rated 22-16 AWG with a No. 6 binding head stud size, in red.
