Sta-Kon RA1203 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA1203 fork terminal crimp onto?
The RA1203 takes 22 to 16 AWG stranded copper conductor. That is the red insulation color code, which is what you look for on a control panel or fixture whip running small-gauge wire. For 16 to 14 AWG you need the blue range terminal instead, and for 12 to 10 AWG the yellow.
2) What screw size does the RA1203 fork terminal fit?
It is sized for a No. 6 screw or stud. The fork slot slides over a loosened No. 6 terminal screw without pulling the screw all the way out, which is why fork tongues get used on terminal strips and device blocks where ring terminals would mean full disassembly.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RA1203 terminal UL listed, and what voltage is it rated for?
It carries UL file E9809 and is rated 600 V. That covers typical line-voltage control, lighting, and panel wiring work where an inspector wants a listed termination.
4) What is the difference between a flanged fork terminal and a plain fork terminal?
The flange is a turned-up lip on each tine of the fork. It keeps the terminal from sliding back out from under the screw head once the screw is snugged, so you get some of the captive security of a ring terminal while still being able to install and remove it without backing the screw out. The RA1203 is the flanged nylon insulated version in the 22-16 AWG, No. 6 stud size.
5) Can I use the RA1203 fork terminal on aluminum conductor?
No. The barrel is copper, so it is intended for copper conductor only. Aluminum wire requires a terminal rated AL or AL/CU with the appropriate inhibitor compound; putting aluminum into a copper-only barrel sets up a dissimilar metal joint that will loosen and heat over time.
6) What part number do I order for the red No. 6 flanged fork terminal from Sta-Kon?
The manufacturer part number is RA1203. That single number covers the red 22-16 AWG, No. 6 stud, nylon insulated flanged fork configuration, so there are no finish or size options to specify alongside it.
7) Is the insulation on the RA1203 nylon or vinyl, and does it matter?
Nylon. Nylon insulated barrels hold up better to abrasion and to higher operating temperatures than vinyl, and they resist cracking when the barrel is crimped. In a hot panel or a motor control enclosure that is the sleeve you want.
8) Is the Sta-Kon RA1203 made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. For government, institutional, and utility procurement that run domestic-content requirements, that is the line on the spec sheet those buyers are checking.
