Sta-Kon RC484M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC484M ring terminal take?
The RC484M is sized for 12-10 AWG conductors, which is the yellow color code on insulated crimp terminals. Yellow insulation on this barrel means 12-10 AWG, so if you are terminating 14-16 AWG you need a blue terminal instead, and 22-18 AWG takes a red one.
2) What stud size does the Sta-Kon RC484M fit?
It is drilled for a No. 6 stud or screw, so it lands on a #6 terminal screw or 6-32 machine screw. If your lug screw is a #8 or 1/4-20, this ring is too small to pass over it.
3) Is the RC484M a ring terminal or a spade, and does that matter for a vibrating panel?
It is a closed ring (rectangular tongue) terminal, not a fork or spade. The ring fully captures the screw, so the conductor cannot back off the stud if the screw loosens. On motor terminal boxes, control panels, and anything subject to vibration, that is the reason to use a ring instead of a spade. A spade is only worth it when you need to pull the wire off without fully removing the screw.
4) Is the barrel on the Sta-Kon RC484M copper, and can I use it on aluminum wire?
The terminal barrel is copper, which makes it a copper-only connector. Do not crimp it onto aluminum conductors. For aluminum you need a lug specifically marked AL or AL/CU with the appropriate inhibitor compound.
5) How do I order the right Sta-Kon rectangular ring terminal for 12-10 wire on a #6 screw?
Specify part number RC484M. That is the single model covered, and it is the nylon insulated yellow rectangular ring configured for 12-10 AWG on a No. 6 stud. If the stud size on your device is different, the part number changes, not the color.
6) What does the nylon insulation on this Sta-Kon terminal get me over a vinyl one?
The RC484M uses a nylon insulating sleeve rather than vinyl. Nylon is tougher and more abrasion and crush resistant, so it holds up better where terminals get pulled through conduit bodies, bundled tight, or handled roughly in a panel. Vinyl is the lower-cost choice for clean indoor low-abuse work.
7) Are these Sta-Kon ring terminals made in the USA?
Country of origin on the RC484M is the United States. That matters on federal, state, and institutional work carrying domestic-preference clauses, so it is worth noting on the submittal.
8) Do I need a special crimper for an insulated Sta-Kon terminal?
Insulated barrel terminals like the RC484M crimp with an insulated-terminal tool that compresses through the nylon sleeve, color-coded by wire range, so the yellow nest is the one you use here. A bare-lug indent die or pliers will split the sleeve and give you an unreliable termination.
