Sta-Kon RB1223 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RB1223 fork terminal crimp onto?
The RB1223 takes 18 to 14 AWG stranded copper conductor. That is the blue color code band, and the blue nylon insulation on this terminal is the visual cue for that range. For 22-16 AWG you need a red terminal, and for 12-10 AWG a yellow one, so match the barrel color to the wire before crimping.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RB1223 terminal UL listed, and what voltage is it rated for?
Yes. The RB1223 carries UL file E9809 and is rated 600 V, which covers typical control panel, motor control, and branch circuit terminal work.
3) What is the difference between a flanged fork terminal and a plain fork terminal?
The flange is the upturned lip on each leg of the fork. It keeps the tongue from sliding back out from under the screw head once the screw is torqued down, so you get some of the retention of a ring terminal while still being able to remove the wire without fully backing out the screw. The RB1223 is the flanged type in the 18-14 AWG, No. 8 stud size.
4) Should I use a fork terminal or a ring terminal on my terminal block?
Use the fork where you need to service the connection: the slot lets you loosen the screw a turn or two and lift the wire out. Use a ring where the connection is on a stud, is subject to vibration, or where code or spec requires a fully captive termination. The RB1223 is the fork style, flanged for extra retention, sized for 18-14 AWG wire on a No. 8 screw.
5) Is the Sta-Kon RB1223 barrel copper or aluminum?
Copper. That means it is for copper conductor only, not aluminum wire, and it crimps with standard copper-terminal dies. The nylon insulation sleeve over the barrel gives better abrasion and crush resistance than vinyl on panel work.
6) Is the Sta-Kon RB1223 made in the USA?
Country of origin on the RB1223 is the United States, which matters if you are filling a government, institutional, or Buy American specified job and need domestic-origin electrical components.
7) What part number do I order for a blue 18-14 AWG flanged fork terminal from Sta-Kon?
Sta-Kon RB1223. One model covers the configuration: blue nylon insulation, 18-14 AWG, No. 8 stud, copper barrel.
