Sta-Kon 14RB-10FCP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon 14RB-10FCP fork terminal crimp onto?
The 14RB-10FCP takes 18 to 14 AWG stranded copper wire. The blue vinyl insulation is the standard color code for that range, so on a panel you can spot an 18-14 termination without pulling it off the stud. Run anything heavier than 14 AWG and the barrel will not accept it; you need the next size up in the series.
2) What screw or stud size does this Sta-Kon blue fork terminal fit?
It is a No. 10 fork (spade) tongue, so it slips around a #10 screw or stud. Because the tongue is open rather than a closed ring, you can land it on an already-installed terminal block screw by just backing the screw off a turn instead of removing it entirely.
3) Is this terminal rated for 600 volt control wiring?
Yes. The 14RB-10FCP carries a 600 V rating and is UL listed under file E9809, which covers the usual control panel, motor control, and fixture whip work at 600 volts and below.
4) Should I use a fork terminal or a ring terminal on a terminal strip?
A fork tongue like this No. 10 Sta-Kon is the one to use where you want to service the connection later: loosen the screw, pull the wire out sideways, done. A ring terminal is the right call where vibration or accidental pull-off is a concern, since the screw has to come all the way out before the wire can leave. For panel terminal blocks and device screws that get revisited, the fork wins on labor.
5) Is the barrel on this Sta-Kon terminal copper or aluminum?
Copper. That matters on two counts: it crimps down predictably with a standard insulated-terminal tool, and it is the correct metal to pair with copper conductors, so you are not creating a dissimilar-metal joint inside the barrel.
6) Are Sta-Kon 14RB-10FCP terminals made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin on the 14RB-10FCP is the United States, which is what institutional and government procurement typically needs on record for domestic-preference submittals.
7) Do I need a special crimper for the blue vinyl insulated Sta-Kon fork terminals?
It is a vinyl insulated terminal, so it crimps with an insulated-terminal tool using the blue die nest, which matches the 18-14 AWG color code. You crimp over the insulation sleeve, not a stripped barrel, and no separate sleeve or heat gun is involved.
8) What is the exact part number to reorder these blue No. 10 fork terminals?
Order by Sta-Kon MPN 14RB-10FCP. The code reads out as 14RB for the 18-14 AWG blue insulated body and 10F for the No. 10 fork tongue, so adjacent numbers in the series change either the wire range or the stud size.
