Sta-Kon RB14-10FS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon RB14-10FS fork terminal crimp onto?
The RB14-10FS takes 18 to 14 AWG stranded copper wire. That is the standard blue-code range, and the terminal's insulation is blue to match, so you can identify it in a bin without a caliper. One barrel size covers all three gauges in that range.
2) What screw or stud size does this flanged fork terminal fit?
It is built for a No. 10 stud or screw. The fork slot slides over a #10 terminal-block screw without removing the screw entirely, which is why electricians use spade terminals on breaker panels, motor starters, and control strips instead of ring tongues.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RB14-10FS rated for 600 volt control and power circuits?
Yes, it carries a 600 V rating, which covers typical commercial branch circuits, motor control wiring, and panel terminations. It is also UL recognized under file E9809.
4) Should I use a flanged fork terminal or a plain spade terminal on a control panel?
Flanged is the one to use on vibration-prone or frequently serviced connections. The upturned flanges on the RB14-10FS keep the tongue from slipping sideways out from under a loosened #10 screw, so the wire stays captive. A plain, unflanged spade slides out more easily, and a ring tongue is more secure still but requires backing the screw all the way out to install or remove.
5) Is the barrel on this terminal copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum wire?
The conductor barrel is copper, so it is intended for copper wire only. Crimping copper terminals onto aluminum conductors creates a dissimilar-metal joint that corrodes and loosens; aluminum requires a terminal specifically marked AL or AL/CU.
6) Do I need a specific crimper for the Sta-Kon RB14-10FS, or will a generic tool work?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper set to the blue 18-14 AWG nest. The insulation is color coded blue for that range, and matching the die nest to the color is what produces a crimp that meets the terminal's UL recognition under file E9809. A generic cutting-style pliers crushes the nylon sleeve and gives an unreliable barrel compression.
7) Will nylon insulation hold up better than vinyl on these fork terminals?
The RB14-10FS uses nylon insulation rather than vinyl. Nylon is tougher against abrasion and pull-through, which matters when wires are bundled tight in a panel or pulled through a wireway, and it resists cut-through from the crimp die better than a vinyl sleeve.
8) Are these fork terminals made in the USA for jobs with domestic sourcing requirements?
Country of origin on the RB14-10FS is the United States, which is what government, healthcare, and institutional buyers working to domestic-preference specs usually need to document.
