Sta-Kon RB2233 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RB2233 fork terminal crimp onto?
The RB2233 is sized for 18 to 14 AWG conductor, which is the blue color code band on insulated terminals. Blue nylon insulation on this part matches that range, so if your conductor is 16 AWG stranded control wire or 14 AWG, this is the right barrel. For 22-16 AWG you need a red terminal instead, and for 12-10 AWG a yellow one.
2) What screw size does the RB2233 locking fork terminal fit?
It is a No. 8 stud/screw terminal. The fork slot is sized to slip around a #8 screw or stud on a terminal block, breaker, or device without removing the screw entirely, which is the whole point of a fork over a ring tongue.
3) Should I use a locking fork terminal or a ring terminal on a control panel terminal block?
Use the fork when you want to land or pull a wire without backing the screw all the way out, which saves real time on a panel with dozens of points. The locking tangs on the RB2233 grip under the screw head so the terminal resists backing out under vibration, closing most of the gap to a ring tongue. Go with a ring terminal instead where a code or spec requires a fully captive connection, such as on battery or grounding studs.
4) Is the Sta-Kon RB2233 rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes, 600 V. That covers standard commercial and industrial branch circuits, motor control, and panel wiring at 120, 208, 240, and 480 V.
5) Is the barrel on this Sta-Kon fork terminal copper or aluminum?
Copper barrel with nylon insulation. Copper is for copper conductor only, so do not crimp it onto aluminum wire, and the nylon sleeve takes more abrasion and flexing than vinyl when the harness gets pulled through a raceway.
6) Do I need a special crimper for the Sta-Kon RB2233?
It crimps with a standard insulated-terminal tool set to the blue (18-14 AWG) nest. Use the die that matches the color band, not a bare-terminal die, or you will cut the nylon sleeve instead of compressing the barrel.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon RB2233 made?
Made in the United States. That matters on government, transit, and other jobs carrying Buy American or domestic-preference language in the specification.
8) What is the exact part number to order this blue No. 8 locking fork terminal?
Sta-Kon RB2233. One model, no finish or size options to specify beyond that: blue nylon, 18-14 AWG, No. 8 stud.
