Sta-Kon RB14-6FL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RB14-6FL fork terminal crimp onto?
The RB14-6FL takes 18 to 14 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. That is the blue color code range, and the blue nylon insulation on the barrel is how you spot it in a bin of mixed terminals. Wire outside 18-14 AWG will either not fill the barrel or will not seat, so match the gauge before crimping.
2) What stud or screw size does the RB14-6FL fork fit?
It is sized for a No. 6 stud or screw. The fork tongue slides around a #6 terminal screw without fully removing it, which is the point of a fork over a ring: you back the screw off a turn or two and slip the lead in. For a #8 or #10 terminal block screw you need the corresponding larger stud size instead.
3) Can I use this blue fork terminal on a 480V control circuit?
Yes. The RB14-6FL carries a 600 V rating, which covers 120V, 240V and 480V control and power wiring within that limit.
4) Is the Sta-Kon RB14-6FL UL listed for panel work?
It is covered under UL file E9809. That is the detail an inspector or a spec-driven institutional buyer asks for on control panel and equipment wiring.
5) What does the locking part of a locking fork terminal actually do?
The tongue on the RB14-6FL has turned-up tips that grip under the screw head, so the lead will not back out sideways if the screw loosens from vibration. A plain fork can walk out of a terminal block on vibrating equipment; the locking style is what you use when you want fork convenience without that risk. If the connection must be captive under all conditions, a ring tongue is still the stricter choice because the screw has to come fully out.
6) Is the barrel on this terminal copper or aluminum?
Copper, with nylon insulation over it. That makes it a copper-to-copper connection on standard building and control wire. Do not use it to terminate aluminum conductors.
7) Are Sta-Kon RB14-6FL terminals made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. That matters for Buy American and domestic-content requirements on government, healthcare and education procurement.
8) Why nylon insulation instead of vinyl on this fork terminal?
The RB14-6FL uses a nylon insulated barrel. Nylon takes more abrasion and handles higher temperatures than vinyl, which is why it is the common pick for control panels and equipment enclosures where leads get bundled, pulled and re-dressed.
9) What part number do I order for the blue 18-14 AWG No. 6 locking fork?
Order Sta-Kon RB14-6FL. One model covers the whole configuration: blue, 18-14 AWG, No. 6 stud, nylon insulated locking fork.
