Sta-Kon RC2217M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC2217M fork terminal accept?
The RC2217M is sized for 12-10 AWG wire. The yellow vinyl insulation is the standard color code for that gauge range, so on a panel where you also have red (22-16) and blue (16-14) terminals, the yellow barrel tells the next electrician what gauge is under it without stripping anything back.
2) What screw size does this Sta-Kon locking fork terminal fit?
It's built for a No. 8 stud or screw. The fork slot slides in around a screw that is already partly backed out, so you don't have to pull the screw all the way out of the terminal block to make up the connection.
3) What makes a locking fork terminal different from a plain spade terminal?
A plain spade can back out from under a screw if the screw loosens from vibration. The locking fork style on the RC2217M has upturned tangs at the open end of the slot that catch under the screw head, so the terminal resists pulling off sideways. For equipment that vibrates, panels on rooftop units, motor starters, that locking feature is the reason to spend on it. If you want a connection that cannot come off at all without removing the screw, use a ring terminal instead.
4) Is the Sta-Kon RC2217M UL listed for inspected work?
It carries UL file E9809. On a job where the inspector wants listed terminations on the control wiring, that file number is what you cite.
5) Is the barrel on this Sta-Kon terminal copper or aluminum?
Copper. That means it is for copper conductors only, not aluminum building wire, which needs a terminal marked AL or AL/CU. The vinyl insulation includes a Mylar liner over the barrel, which keeps the sleeve from splitting when you crimp.
6) Are Sta-Kon RC2217M terminals made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what you need on the submittal for federally funded or Buy American jobs.
