Sta-Kon 10RC-55PT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon 10RC-55PT pin terminal accept?
The 10RC-55PT is sized for 12-10 AWG stranded copper wire. The yellow vinyl insulation is the standard color code for that gauge band, so on a panel where yellow means 12-10, red means 22-16 and blue means 16-14, this one reads at a glance. If your conductor is 14 AWG or smaller, you need a different barrel size, not this one.
2) Can I use a yellow 12-10 AWG pin terminal on a 480V circuit?
No. The 10RC-55PT carries a 300 V rating, which covers control wiring, 120/240 V branch circuits and most terminal block work. For 480 V service you need a termination rated 600 V.
3) When should I use a pin terminal instead of a ring or fork terminal?
A pin terminal like the 10RC-55PT is for pushing a stranded conductor into a clamp-type or box-screw terminal, the kind found on breakers, contactors, terminal strips and control devices. Crimping the pin keeps the strands from splaying or backing out under the clamp screw. Use a ring terminal where there is a stud you can slide over and torque down, and a fork where you need to pull the wire off a screw without fully removing it.
4) Is the Sta-Kon 10RC-55PT barrel copper or aluminum?
Copper barrel with vinyl insulation. That means it is for copper conductors, which is what you will have in control panel and branch circuit wiring. Do not terminate aluminum conductors with it; aluminum needs a connector rated AL or AL9CU.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for 12-10 AWG insulated pin terminals?
Yes, use an insulated-terminal crimper on the yellow 12-10 AWG nest. The vinyl sleeve on the 10RC-55PT is crimped along with the copper barrel, so a non-insulated die or pliers will cut the insulation and give you an unreliable termination. Color-coded insulated crimp dies match the yellow sleeve directly.
6) Where is the Sta-Kon 10RC-55PT pin terminal made?
Made in the United States. That matters on government, institutional and federally funded jobs where domestic-origin material is part of the procurement spec.
