Sta-Kon RC10-55PT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RC10-55PT pin terminal take?
The RC10-55PT is sized for 12-10 AWG conductors. Yellow is the standard color code for that range, and the barrel on this terminal is copper, so it crimps on stranded copper wire in that gauge band. Running it on anything smaller than 12 AWG leaves the strands loose in the barrel and gives you a connection that will back out under vibration.
2) Can I use a yellow 12-10 AWG pin terminal on a 277V lighting circuit?
No. The RC10-55PT carries a 300 V rating, which covers 120V and 277V branch circuits but not anything above 300 volts. For a 480V feeder you need a terminal rated at 600 V.
3) What is the difference between a pin terminal and a fork or ring terminal for a breaker or terminal block?
A pin terminal like the RC10-55PT ends in a solid round post, so it goes straight into a clamp-type or box-lug terminal block the way a solid conductor would, which is why it is used to terminate stranded wire into pressure-plate terminals on breakers, contactors and control blocks. Fork and ring terminals are made for screw-and-washer studs instead. If your device has a captive screw with a plate that clamps down on the wire, the pin is the right shape; if it has a stud you slide a tongue under, use a fork or ring.
4) Is this pin terminal UL recognized?
Yes. The Sta-Kon RC10-55PT carries UL file E9809. That is the reference an inspector or a spec writer will want on a control panel submittal.
5) Does the insulation on the RC10-55PT hold up better than a vinyl terminal?
The sleeve is nylon rather than vinyl. Nylon insulation resists cracking and splitting when the barrel is crimped and takes abuse during pull-in better than vinyl, which is why panel builders spec nylon-insulated terminals where the wire gets flexed or re-dressed.
6) Is the Sta-Kon RC10-55PT made in the USA?
Country of origin on the RC10-55PT is the United States. That matters if you are buying against a Buy American or domestic-preference clause on a government or institutional job.
7) What part number do I order for a yellow 12-10 AWG nylon pin terminal from Sta-Kon?
Order Sta-Kon model RC10-55PT. That is the manufacturer part number for the nylon insulated pin terminal in the 12-10 AWG yellow size.
