Sta-Kon RA1147M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What screw or stud size does the RA1147M fork terminal fit?
It is a No. 8 stud terminal, so it slips over a #8 screw or stud on a terminal block, breaker, or device. The fork (spade) tongue means you can loosen the screw and slide the terminal out without removing the screw entirely, which is why electricians prefer it over a ring tongue on crowded terminal strips.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RA1147M UL listed?
Yes. The RA1147M carries UL file E9809, which is what a hospital, school, or government MRO spec usually wants to see on an insulated terminal before it goes into a panel.
3) Do I need a special crimper for Sta-Kon insulated fork terminals?
Yes, use an insulated-terminal crimp tool set to the red (22-16 AWG) nest. The vinyl barrel is crimped through the insulation, so a bare-terminal or non-insulated die will cut the sleeve and void the UL listing on the connection. Pliers are not an acceptable substitute.
4) Should I use a fork terminal or a ring terminal on a control panel terminal strip?
Use the fork tongue, like the RA1147M, where you expect to service or re-land wires: the open end lets you back the #8 screw out a turn or two and pull the wire free. Pick a ring tongue instead where vibration or an accidental pull could walk the wire off the stud, since the ring is captive on the screw. Both land on the same No. 8 hardware.
5) What is the Mylar sleeve on this Sta-Kon terminal for?
The RA1147M uses a vinyl insulated barrel with a Mylar lining inside the insulation. The Mylar reinforces the vinyl so the sleeve resists splitting and tearing during crimping and pull-out, which matters when you are terminating fine 22 AWG strands.
6) Is the Sta-Kon RA1147M made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which is the detail that decides it for Buy American and federally funded jobs where domestic-sourced electrical components are written into the spec.
7) Can I use the RA1147M on solid wire, or only stranded?
Crimp terminals in this range are intended for stranded conductors in the 22 to 16 AWG range. Solid wire does not deform the same way under a crimp and the joint can loosen, so for solid conductors land the bare wire directly under the screw head or use a connector rated for solid wire.
