Sta-Kon RA1123 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon RA1123 fork terminal crimp?
The RA1123 is sized for 22 to 16 AWG stranded copper conductor. Red insulation is the standard color code for that range, so a bin of red barrels on a panel build is the 22-16 group. Anything heavier (14-12 AWG, blue) needs a different barrel size; crimping 14 AWG into this barrel will not form a sound joint.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RA1123 terminal UL listed for use in a commercial panel?
The RA1123 carries UL file E9809, which is what an inspector or an institutional spec will ask for on a terminated connection. It is a nylon insulated, 600 V rated terminal with a copper barrel.
3) Is a fork terminal like the RA1123 acceptable, or should I use a ring terminal?
Both land on the same #8 screw. The RA1123 fork (spade) tongue is open, so you back the screw out a turn or two and slide the terminal in and out, which saves time on terminal blocks, contactors, and device screws you expect to service. A ring terminal is captive and cannot pull out if the screw loosens, so it is the choice for vibration-prone or safety-critical connections. For control panel wiring and general device terminations on 22-16 AWG, the fork is the usual pick.
4) What voltage is the Sta-Kon RA1123 nylon insulated fork terminal rated for?
600 V. That covers typical 120/208, 240, 277, and 480 V control and power wiring found in commercial panels, lighting circuits, and HVAC control cabinets.
5) Can I use the Sta-Kon RA1123 on aluminum wire?
No. The barrel is copper and the terminal is specified for 22-16 AWG copper conductor. Aluminum conductor requires a terminal listed AL or AL/CU with the appropriate compound; using a copper-only barrel on aluminum risks a bad joint and a code violation.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for the Sta-Kon RA1123 fork terminal?
Use a crimp tool matched to insulated terminals in the 22-16 AWG range, and use the die nest that corresponds to the red color code. Pliers or a general purpose tool will deform the nylon sleeve and leave a joint that pulls out. The terminal ships as the crimp lug only, no screw or hardware, so the #8 screw comes from the device or terminal block you are landing on.
7) What is the difference between nylon insulated and vinyl insulated fork terminals?
The RA1123 uses a nylon insulating sleeve. Nylon takes abrasion and higher temperature better than vinyl and resists splitting when the barrel is crimped, which matters when terminals are pulled through a wire duct or bundled tight in a cabinet. Vinyl is the lower-cost sleeve for less demanding work. Either way the electrical rating here is 600 V.
8) Is the Sta-Kon RA1123 made in the USA for a government or institutional order?
Country of origin on the RA1123 is the United States, which is what a government, healthcare, or education procurement file usually needs documented. It is also UL listed under file E9809.
