Sta-Kon RCC217 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RCC217 butt splice take?
The RCC217 is sized for 12-10 AWG wire, which is why it is yellow: yellow is the standard color code for the 12-10 AWG range on vinyl insulated terminals. Run 16-14 AWG into it and the barrel won't grip properly after crimping, so step down to a blue 16-14 splice for that wire.
2) Will a vinyl insulated butt splice hold up inside a hot luminaire or near a motor?
The vinyl insulation on the RCC217 is rated to 105 degrees C. That covers most fixture whips, ballast compartments and motor junction boxes. For anything running hotter than 105 C at the splice, use a nylon or high-temp insulated splice instead.
3) What is the barrel made of, and can I crimp aluminum wire with it?
The crimp barrel is copper, so it is intended for copper conductors. Aluminum needs a connector rated AL or AL/CU with the appropriate oxide inhibitor; a plain copper barrel is not a substitute.
4) Do I need a special tool to crimp these, or will pliers work?
Use a crimp tool made for insulated terminals, matched to the yellow 12-10 AWG nest. Pliers deform the vinyl sleeve without forming the copper barrel correctly, and the connection pulls apart under vibration. The splice is a two-ended barrel, so crimp each side separately with a stripped conductor bottomed out against the center stop.
5) How many butt splices come in a pack of Sta-Kon RCC217?
They ship 100 to a pack, one part number, model RCC217. That quantity suits an MRO crib or a van stock for fixture and motor lead repairs rather than a single repair.
6) Are these Sta-Kon splices made in the USA for a Buy American spec job?
Country of origin on the RCC217 is the United States, which is the line a government or institutional buyer needs for domestic-content documentation.
