Sta-Kon RA2213 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon RA2213 fork terminal crimp?
The RA2213 locking fork terminal is built for 22-16 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. The red insulation is the standard color code for that range, so if you are sorting a bin by color, red means 22-16 AWG on Sta-Kon nylon terminals. Anything heavier than 16 AWG will not seat in the barrel and will not crimp reliably.
2) What stud or screw size does the RA2213 fork terminal fit?
It is a No. 6 fork, so it slips over a #6 screw or stud, the common size on terminal blocks, control relays, and thermostat and low voltage device terminals. The fork is open ended, which means you can land it on a screw that is already in place without pulling the screw all the way out.
3) What is the voltage rating on Sta-Kon RA2213 nylon insulated terminals?
Rated 600 V, which covers standard line voltage control wiring, panel terminations, and low voltage device work. It also carries UL file E9809.
4) Should I use a locking fork terminal or a ring terminal on a control panel screw?
A ring terminal is captive and cannot back off the stud, so it is the choice where vibration is severe or code or spec requires a closed connector. The RA2213 is a locking fork: the open slot lets you land or remove the wire without fully removing the #6 screw, and the locking tangs on the fork resist pulling out sideways once the screw is torqued. On panel and device work where terminations get changed during commissioning or troubleshooting, the fork saves real time.
5) Is the RA2213 terminal copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum conductors?
The barrel is copper, so it is for copper conductors only. Crimping copper barrels onto aluminum wire creates a dissimilar metal joint that corrodes and loosens. Aluminum conductors need a connector marked AL or AL/CU.
6) What crimp tool do I need for Sta-Kon RA2213 terminals?
Use a crimper matched to insulated terminals in the 22-16 AWG range, which on most tools is the red color coded nest or die station. A full cycle crimp on the insulation grip as well as the barrel is what gives the nylon body its strain relief. Pliers or a generic non-ratcheting tool will under-crimp a nylon insulated barrel.
7) What is the exact part number to order for a red 22-16 AWG No. 6 locking fork terminal from Sta-Kon?
Sta-Kon part number RA2213. That single MPN covers the red nylon insulated locking fork terminal for 22-16 AWG wire with a No. 6 stud opening, rated 600 V.
8) Does the nylon insulation on the RA2213 hold up better than vinyl?
The insulation is nylon rather than vinyl. Nylon is tougher against abrasion and cut-through when wires are pulled through a crowded panel or bundled tight, and it resists deformation better during crimping. Color is red, matching the 22-16 AWG range.
9) Is the Sta-Kon RA2213 made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which matters if you are filling a government, institutional, or federally funded job with domestic sourcing language in the spec.
