Sta-Kon 10RC-10FCP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon 10RC-10FCP fork terminal take?
The 10RC-10FCP is sized for 12-10 AWG conductors. The yellow vinyl insulation is the standard color code for that range, so on a panel where crimps are color-sorted this one reads as the 12-10 barrel at a glance. Run 14 or 16 AWG in it and the crimp won't hold; step down to a blue (16-14) or red (22-16) terminal for those.
2) What screw or stud size does this Sta-Kon fork terminal fit?
It's built for a No. 10 screw or stud. The fork (spade) tongue slides in around a partially backed-out No. 10 terminal screw instead of requiring you to pull the screw all the way out, which is why electricians prefer it over a ring tongue on crowded terminal blocks and strips.
3) Is the Sta-Kon 10RC-10FCP rated for 600 volt control and lighting circuits?
Yes, the insulation carries a 600 V rating, which covers typical commercial control wiring, lighting panels, and motor control circuits. It is also UL listed under file E9809.
4) Should I use a fork terminal or a ring terminal on a control panel terminal strip?
Fork tongues like the 10RC-10FCP let you land the wire without removing the screw, so they are faster for service work and for dense terminal strips. A ring tongue is captive and cannot slip off if the screw loosens, which is why ring terminals are preferred on vibration-prone equipment, motor connections, and anywhere code or a spec sheet calls for a captive connection. Same 12-10 AWG wire range, same No. 10 stud, different retention behavior.
5) Is the barrel on this fork terminal copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum wire?
The conductor barrel is copper. That makes it a copper-only terminal, so use it on copper 12-10 AWG conductors. Aluminum branch wiring needs an AL/CU rated connector instead, which this is not.
6) What's the exact part number to order this yellow No. 10 fork terminal?
Order Sta-Kon part number 10RC-10FCP. That is the manufacturer part number for the yellow vinyl insulated fork terminal, 12-10 AWG, No. 10 stud.
7) Can I crimp the Sta-Kon 10RC-10FCP with a standard insulated-terminal crimper?
It's a vinyl insulated terminal in the 12-10 AWG range, so it crimps in the yellow-coded nest of an insulated-terminal tool. Don't crimp it in a bare-terminal die; that will cut the vinyl sleeve and lose the strain relief the insulation provides.
8) Is the Sta-Kon 10RC-10FCP made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the 10RC-10FCP is listed as the United States. For a federally funded project, confirm the documentation requirement your contracting officer wants, but the origin on record for this terminal is US.
