Sta-Kon 10RC-6FL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon 10RC-6FL fork terminal crimp?
The 10RC-6FL takes 12-10 AWG stranded copper wire. The yellow vinyl insulation is the standard color code for that gauge range, so on a panel you can spot a 12-10 crimp at a glance against the blue 16-14 and red 22-16 terminals.
2) What screw size does the Sta-Kon 10RC-6FL fork terminal fit?
It is a No. 6 stud terminal, so the fork slot drops over a #6 screw or terminal-block stud. Go bigger on the screw and the fork will not seat; on a #8 or #10 stud you need the matching larger fork or ring tongue in the same 12-10 AWG range.
3) Is the Sta-Kon 10RC-6FL UL listed, and what voltage is it rated for?
Rated 600 V and carried under UL file E9809. That covers typical line-voltage control panel, motor starter, and lighting-circuit terminations.
4) Should I use a locking fork terminal or a ring terminal on a terminal strip?
A locking fork like the 10RC-6FL slides under a loosened #6 screw without pulling the screw all the way out, which is why electricians use them on dense terminal strips and control panels where service time matters. The locking tangs resist backing out under vibration. A ring terminal is still the choice where code or spec requires a captive connection that cannot slip off at all, since the screw has to be fully removed to release it.
5) Are Sta-Kon 10RC-6FL terminals copper, and can I use them on aluminum wire?
The barrel is copper, so these are for copper conductors only. Aluminum wire needs a connector specifically rated AL or AL9CU; using a copper-only terminal on aluminum invites a corroding, high-resistance joint.
6) Does the vinyl insulation on these fork terminals need heat shrink or extra sleeving?
No. The 10RC-6FL comes with a vinyl insulating sleeve already over the barrel, so the crimp is covered once it is made. You crimp it with an insulated-terminal die (the color-coded yellow nest for 12-10 AWG), not a bare-terminal die, or the sleeve will split.
7) Are Sta-Kon 10RC-6FL terminals made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin is the United States, which is the documentation point procurement officers on federally funded and BAA-covered work usually need for electrical terminations.
8) What is the Sta-Kon part number I should order for a 12-10 AWG No. 6 locking fork?
Order Sta-Kon 10RC-6FL. That designation covers the vinyl insulated locking fork terminal for 12-10 AWG wire on a No. 6 stud.
