Sta-Kon RC717U – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC717U ring terminal take?
The RC717U is sized for 12-10 AWG conductor. That is what the yellow vinyl insulation signals on Sta-Kon terminals, so on a panel you can sort the yellow barrels from the blue and red ones without reading the stamp. Wire outside 12-10 AWG needs a different barrel size; crimping a 14 AWG conductor into this one gives you a joint that pulls out.
2) Why would I use a 90 degree ring terminal instead of a straight one?
The RC717U has a 90 degree bend between the barrel and the ring tongue, so the wire runs perpendicular to the stud or screw it lands on. That is what you want when the conductor approaches a terminal block, breaker lug, or grounding stud from the side and a flat terminal would force a sharp bend in the copper right behind the crimp. If your wire already comes in straight at the stud, a standard flat ring terminal is the simpler part.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RC717U terminal copper or aluminum?
Copper, with a vinyl insulating sleeve over the barrel. Copper terminals belong on copper conductor only. If you are landing aluminum feeder, you need a terminal rated AL/CU, not this one.
4) Do I need a special crimper for Sta-Kon insulated ring terminals?
Use an insulated-terminal crimp tool matched to the color code, and set it on the yellow die for the RC717U. The vinyl sleeve is meant to be crimped through, and a bare-terminal or uninsulated die will split it. Do not solder in place of crimping.
5) Where is the Sta-Kon RC717U made?
Country of origin on the RC717U ring terminal is the United States. That matters on federal, state, and institutional jobs carrying domestic sourcing language in the spec.
