Sta-Kon RA2213M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA2213M fork terminal crimp onto?
The RA2213M takes 22 to 16 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. That is the red insulation color code, so if you are sorting a bin by color, red is the 22-16 range. Anything 14 AWG or larger needs a different terminal, typically the blue 16-14 or yellow 12-10 body.
2) What screw size does this red locking fork terminal fit?
It is built for a No. 6 screw or stud. The fork is a locking (upturned tang) style, so once it is slid under a #6 terminal screw and tightened, the tangs resist the wire pulling back out under vibration. On a #8 or #10 screw the fork will be undersized and will not seat properly.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RA2213M rated for 600 volt control wiring?
Rated 600 V, and it carries UL file E9809. That covers typical motor control, panel, and lighting control circuits. The barrel is copper with a nylon insulating sleeve.
4) Can I use a fork terminal instead of a ring terminal on a control panel terminal block?
Yes, and that is the usual reason to pick a locking fork like the RA2213M. A fork slides in under a captive #6 screw without removing the screw, which saves real time on a panel with dozens of points, while a ring terminal requires backing the screw all the way out. The locking tangs on this style close most of the gap in retention that a plain spade gives up to a ring. If your spec or inspection requires a fully captive ring termination, use a ring terminal instead.
5) Do I need a special crimper for the RA2213M, or will a standard insulated terminal tool work?
A standard insulated-terminal crimper works, using the red 22-16 AWG nest. Match the die color to the terminal color, strip to the barrel length, and crimp on the barrel, not on the fork. Sta-Kon terminals crimp properly in the color-coded dies sized for the same 22-16 range.
6) What is the difference between nylon and vinyl insulated fork terminals?
This Sta-Kon part uses a nylon insulating sleeve rather than vinyl. Nylon is the tougher of the two, holding up better to abrasion and to higher operating temperatures, which is why it is the common choice for industrial panels and MRO stock. Vinyl bodies are the lower cost option for general low-temperature work. Both crimp the same way; the die and the wire range are what you match, not the sleeve material.
7) Is the Sta-Kon RA2213M made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. For agencies and institutional buyers working to domestic sourcing requirements on electrical components, that is the data point usually asked for on the submittal.
