Sta-Kon RC484-SC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC484-SC ring terminal take?
The RC484-SC is sized for 12-10 AWG stranded or solid copper conductor. That is a single barrel size covering both gauges, so a 12 AWG branch circuit tail and a 10 AWG feeder tail both crimp into the same terminal. Anything 14 AWG or smaller will not grip properly in this barrel and you want the blue 16-14 size instead.
2) What stud or screw size does the Sta-Kon RC484-SC ring fit?
It is a No. 6 ring, so the tongue drops over a #6 screw or stud. On a #8 or #10 terminal block screw the ring will not pass over the threads, and on a smaller #4 screw the head may pull through under vibration. Check the lug screw on your breaker, bus bar, or ground point before ordering.
3) Why is this Sta-Kon terminal yellow, and does the color mean anything?
Yellow is the industry gauge code for 12-10 AWG terminals, and the RC484-SC follows it. Red is 22-16, blue is 16-14, yellow is 12-10. On a panel build that color lets an inspector or the next electrician confirm the terminal was matched to the conductor without pulling it apart, and it tells you which crimp die nest to use.
4) What is a rectangular ring terminal and when would I use one instead of a round ring?
The RC484-SC has a rectangular tongue rather than the usual round one. The flat sides keep the terminal from rotating when it is seated between two other lugs or against a raised shoulder on a terminal block, and the narrower profile lets you stack terminals side by side on a crowded bus bar where round tongues would overlap. Electrically it does the same job as a round ring: a closed tongue that cannot shake off the stud the way a spade or fork can. If you need to drop a wire off a screw without fully backing it out, use a fork terminal instead.
5) What crimp tool do I need for the yellow 12-10 AWG Sta-Kon ring terminal?
Use a crimper with a yellow-coded 12-10 nest, matched to the terminal's 12-10 barrel. An insulated-terminal crimper that compresses the metal barrel through the nylon sleeve is what you want, not a bare-terminal die that will split the insulation. No tool is supplied with the terminal, so order it separately if you do not already carry one.
6) Is the insulation on this Sta-Kon terminal nylon or vinyl?
Nylon. Nylon insulation takes a higher operating temperature and resists abrasion and solvents better than the vinyl sleeves on economy terminals, which is why it is the common choice for motor control panels, machine wiring, and anywhere the harness gets flexed or dragged. It also holds its shape during crimping, so the funnel entry stays open for the strands.
7) Is the Sta-Kon RC484-SC made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. That matters on federal, state, and institutional jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements, where an imported terminal can fail a submittal even if the specs match.
8) How do I order the Sta-Kon RC484-SC, and is there more than one version?
There is one configuration: part number RC484-SC, yellow nylon, 12-10 AWG, No. 6 stud. No finish, size, or packaging choice to make on the order, so quote and reorder against that single part number.
