Sta-Kon RC55PT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC55PT pin terminal crimp onto?
The RC55PT takes 12 to 10 AWG stranded copper wire. Yellow insulation is the color code for that range on Sta-Kon vinyl terminals, so you can confirm the right barrel on sight in a panel full of mixed terminals.
2) Can I use a vinyl insulated pin terminal on a 277V lighting circuit?
No. The RC55PT is rated 300 V, which covers standard 120/240 V control and branch wiring but leaves no margin above 300 V. For 277 V line conductors you are within the rating, but anything higher needs a different terminal rated for that voltage.
3) When do I use a pin terminal instead of a ring, fork, or butt splice?
A pin terminal gives you a solid round pin end, so it is for pushing stranded wire into a clamp-type or screw-cage terminal block, breaker lug, or saddle connection where loose strands would splay out or get pinched. If the connection is a stud or screw you have to slide around or over, use a ring or fork tongue instead. If you are joining two wires end to end, that is a butt splice, not this part.
4) Is the Sta-Kon RC55PT a UL recognized terminal for inspected work?
It carries UL file E9809. That is the reference an inspector or a spec writer will want when terminals are called out on a submittal for control panel or branch circuit work.
5) Are Sta-Kon RC55PT pin terminals made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what institutional and government buyers need on record for domestic-sourcing requirements. The terminal itself is copper with vinyl insulation.
6) Do I need a special crimper for the RC55PT, or will any tool work?
Use an insulated-terminal crimp tool and crimp in the yellow 12-10 AWG nest. Pliers or an uncalibrated tool will crack the vinyl sleeve or leave an under-crimped barrel that heats up. The color-coded nests on a standard insulated terminal crimper match the yellow sleeve on this terminal.
7) Will a 12-10 AWG pin terminal work on solid wire?
Pin terminals exist to make stranded wire behave like solid wire at a clamp terminal. If the conductor is already solid 12 or 10 AWG, you normally land it bare in the terminal block and skip the terminal entirely. The RC55PT barrel is sized for 12-10 AWG conductors either way.
