Sta-Kon RB1223M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RB1223M fork terminal accept?
The RB1223M takes 18 to 14 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. The blue nylon insulation is the standard color code for that 16-14 AWG range, so if you are crimping 12 AWG or larger you need a yellow-range terminal instead.
2) What stud or screw size does this flanged fork terminal fit?
It is sized for a No. 8 stud or screw. The fork (spade) tongue slides in under a loosened terminal screw rather than needing the screw fully removed, which is why these get used on terminal strips and panel blocks where ring terminals are a nuisance.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RB1223M UL listed?
Yes, it carries UL file E9809. For an institutional or MRO spec that calls for listed wire terminations, that is the number to reference.
4) Should I use a flanged fork terminal or a ring terminal on a terminal block?
Use the flanged fork when you need to service the connection without pulling the screw out of the block, which is most control panel and terminal strip work. The flanges (upturned tips) on the RB1223M help keep the tongue from sliding out from under the screw head. Pick a ring terminal instead where code or spec requires a captive connection, such as battery and grounding studs subject to vibration.
5) Do I need a special crimper for the RB1223M Sta-Kon terminal?
Crimp it with the 18-14 AWG (blue) nest of an insulated-terminal crimp tool. Sta-Kon insulated terminals are designed for a controlled, full-cycle crimp over the insulation sleeve, so an uncalibrated plier-style tool is what usually causes pull-out failures on these.
6) What is the insulation made of on this blue Sta-Kon fork terminal?
Nylon, in blue. Nylon insulation is tougher and more abrasion and crush resistant than vinyl, which matters when terminals are bundled tight in a panel or pulled through a conduit body during install.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon RB1223M made?
The RB1223M is made in the United States. If you are buying against a Buy American or domestic-preference requirement on a government or institutional job, that is the origin on record for this part.
