Sta-Kon RC10-8FL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RC10-8FL fork terminal take?
The RC10-8FL is sized for 12-10 AWG conductors, which is what the yellow nylon insulation signals on Sta-Kon color coding. Run a smaller conductor like 14 or 16 AWG into it and the crimp won't hold reliably, so step down to the blue (16-14) body instead.
2) Will this fork terminal fit a No. 8 screw on a terminal block?
Yes. The RC10-8FL is built for a No. 8 stud or screw, and the locking fork tongue slips under a partly backed-off screw head rather than requiring the screw to come all the way out. On a larger No. 10 stud the tongue will be undersized for the shoulder, so use a terminal sized to that stud.
3) Should I use a locking fork terminal or a ring terminal?
A locking fork like the RC10-8FL goes on and off without removing the screw, which saves real time on dense control blocks and fixture terminations where you service connections repeatedly. The locking tangs resist pulling back out under vibration. A ring terminal is the choice when the screw can be fully removed and you want a captive connection that cannot back out at all, which some specs require for vibration-critical or life-safety equipment.
4) Is the barrel on this Sta-Kon terminal copper or aluminum?
Copper barrel with nylon insulation. That means it is for copper conductors, not aluminum, and it needs a copper-rated crimp die. Nylon insulation gives better abrasion and crush resistance than vinyl, which matters when terminals get pulled through a raceway or packed into a crowded panel.
5) Is the Sta-Kon RC10-8FL made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which matters if you are terminating on a federally funded or Buy American job and have to document domestic content on electrical materials.
6) What part number do I order for the yellow 12-10 AWG No. 8 locking fork terminal?
Order Sta-Kon RC10-8FL. It is the yellow nylon insulated locking fork terminal for 12-10 AWG wire on a No. 8 stud.
