Sta-Kon RC2233 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC2233 fork terminal crimp?
The RC2233 is sized for 12-10 AWG stranded copper conductors. The yellow nylon insulation is the standard color code for that gauge band, so on a panel you can tell the 12-10 terminals apart from the blue 16-14 and red 22-16 at a glance. Crimp it with the die station matched to 12-10, not the smaller one, or the barrel will not hold.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RC2233 rated for 600 volt control panel wiring?
Yes, the RC2233 carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809. That covers typical 480 V and 600 V control and motor-circuit terminations.
3) Can I use a locking fork terminal instead of a ring terminal on a terminal strip?
That is exactly what the locking fork is for. A ring terminal has to come off the stud completely, which means backing the screw all the way out, and on a crowded strip that often means pulling neighboring wires. The fork slides in under a loosened screw. The locking tangs on the RC2233 bite under the screw head so it will not back out of the connection the way a plain spade can. Where you need a connection that cannot be pulled off without tooling at all, a ring is still the stricter choice.
4) Are these Sta-Kon terminals made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the RC2233 is the United States, which is the line item a government or federally funded project submittal usually asks for.
5) Will the RC2233 terminal work on aluminum conductors?
No. The barrel is copper, so it is for copper stranded conductors only. Aluminum needs a terminal listed AL9CU or AL7CU with the appropriate inhibitor compound.
6) Does the nylon insulation on the RC2233 hold up better than vinyl?
The sleeve on the RC2233 is nylon rather than vinyl. Nylon resists abrasion and cut-through from being pulled through a wireway or bundled tight, and it will not split as readily when the barrel is crimped. Spec writers on panel builds commonly call out nylon insulated terminals for that reason.
