Sta-Kon RD10161 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RD10161 ring terminal take?
The RD10161 is sized for 8 AWG wire. The red nylon insulation on Sta-Kon terminals is the gauge code for that run, so if you are terminating 10 or 12 AWG you need a different color body, not this one. Crimp it with a die matched to 8 AWG or the barrel will not hold.
2) Is this ring terminal UL listed for an inspected installation?
The terminal carries UL file E9809. That is the reference an inspector or a spec writer will want alongside the 600 V rating when the termination is part of a listed assembly or a panel build.
3) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork terminal on a terminal block?
A ring like the RD10161 is the choice where the connection cannot be allowed to back out under vibration or where code or spec calls for a captive termination, because the screw has to come fully out before the wire leaves. A fork or spade slides out from under a loosened screw, which makes it faster to service but a poor pick for motor circuits, rooftop equipment, or anything that shakes.
4) Is the barrel on this terminal copper or aluminum, and can I put aluminum conductor in it?
The conductor barrel is copper, so it is intended for copper wire. Terminating aluminum conductor needs a terminal rated AL or AL9CU with the appropriate compound; using a copper-only barrel on aluminum invites a corroded, high resistance joint.
5) Does the nylon insulation on this terminal matter versus a vinyl one?
The RD10161 uses a nylon insulating sleeve rather than vinyl. Nylon is the tougher body, which is why it is the common pick in panel and MRO work where terminals get pulled through raceway, bundled tight, or worked in warm equipment enclosures.
6) What part number do I order and where is it made?
Order Sta-Kon RD10161, the red nylon insulated 8 AWG No. 8 ring terminal. Country of origin is Mexico, which is the detail a government or institutional buyer needs for trade compliance paperwork.
