Sta-Kon RC863M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC863M ring terminal crimp onto?
The RC863M takes 12-10 AWG stranded wire. The yellow insulation is the standard color code for that gauge range, so if you are pulling terminals out of a bin, yellow means 12-10 and nothing smaller. For 16-14 AWG you need a blue-coded terminal, and 22-18 AWG uses red.
2) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork/spade terminal on a #8 screw?
A ring terminal like the RC863M has to come off the stud entirely to be removed, which is exactly why you want it on anything that vibrates or carries a ground: it cannot back out if the screw loosens slightly. A spade terminal slides out sideways for faster service work but gives up that security. For motor leads, panel grounds and anything in a vibrating enclosure, use the ring.
3) Is the insulation on this Sta-Kon terminal nylon or vinyl?
Nylon, with a Mylar insert sleeve. Nylon holds up better than vinyl against abrasion and solvents and will not crack when the barrel is crimped hard, which is why it is the usual choice in control panels and under hoods. If your spec calls out vinyl insulated terminals, this is not that part.
4) What is the exact part number to order this yellow 12-10 ring terminal?
Order it as Sta-Kon RC863M. That is the manufacturer part number for the nylon insulated ring terminal, 12-10 AWG, No. 8 stud, yellow with Mylar sleeve.
5) Can I crimp a Sta-Kon ring terminal with ordinary pliers or a generic crimper?
No. Insulated Sta-Kon terminals are designed around a matched crimping tool that forms the barrel and the insulation support in one controlled crimp. Pliers or a mismatched die give an under-formed barrel that pulls out under load. Use a ratcheting insulated-terminal crimper sized for the 12-10 AWG yellow range.
6) Is the Sta-Kon RC863M made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. That matters on federal, state and institutional jobs with domestic-content requirements, so it is worth noting when you are submitting on a government or public-works package.
