Sta-Kon RA2227M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge range does the Sta-Kon RA2227M fork terminal accept?
The RA2227M locking fork terminal is built for 22 to 16 AWG stranded copper conductors. The red vinyl insulation is the standard color code for that gauge band, so if you are crimping 14 AWG or larger you need a bigger terminal, not this one.
2) What screw size does the RA2227M fork terminal fit?
It is a No. 6 stud terminal, so it slips under a #6 screw or stud on a terminal block, breaker, or device. Being a fork (spade) rather than a ring, you can land it without pulling the screw all the way out, which is why panel and control techs reach for it on crowded blocks.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RA2227M rated for 600 volt control wiring?
Yes, the RA2227M carries a 600 V rating and is UL listed under file E9809. That covers typical motor control, panel, and 120/277/480 V building control circuits.
4) What makes a locking fork terminal different from a plain spade terminal?
The locking tang on the RA2227M catches behind the screw head so the terminal will not back out sideways under vibration. A plain spade can walk out from under a loose screw. If you want a connection that cannot come off the stud at all, use a ring terminal instead and accept that the screw has to come out to install it.
5) Is the RA2227M terminal copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum wire?
The barrel is copper, so it is for copper conductors only. Aluminum wire needs a terminal marked AL or AL/CU with the appropriate compound; using a copper-only lug on aluminum is a failure point.
6) Do these Sta-Kon terminals come on a belt or strip for a crimp tool?
Yes. The RA2227M is supplied belted (strip-fed), which is what a semi-automatic or bench crimper feeds from. If you are hand-crimping one at a time, loose-piece terminals are the easier buy.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon RA2227M terminal made?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what matters on federal, Buy American, and institutional jobs that flag origin on the submittal.
