Sta-Kon RC363M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC363M ring terminal take?
The RC363M is sized for 12-10 AWG conductors, and the yellow insulation is the standard color code for that range. Run it on 14 AWG or smaller and the barrel won't grip properly after crimping, so step down to a blue-coded 16-14 AWG terminal for those conductors.
2) What stud or screw size does this yellow ring terminal fit?
It's a No. 10 ring, so it slips over a #10 stud or screw. It will also pass over smaller #8 and #6 hardware, though you'd want a washer to keep the tongue from pulling through under the nut.
3) Is this ring terminal rated for 600 volt panelboard work?
Yes. The RC363M carries a 600 V rating and is UL recognized under file E9809, which is what an inspector looks for on panelboard and control-panel terminations.
4) Ring terminal or fork terminal for a terminal block landing?
A ring like the RC363M has to come off the stud entirely to be removed, which is what you want on anything that vibrates or carries load you can't afford to lose: wiring harnesses, panelboards, automotive. A fork or spade terminal slides out from under a loosened screw without pulling the nut, so it's the faster choice when you're servicing a block repeatedly. For permanent terminations, go with the ring.
5) What is the barrel material on the Sta-Kon RC363M, and can I use it on aluminum wire?
The crimp barrel is copper, so it's intended for copper conductors. Terminating aluminum wire in a copper-only barrel creates a dissimilar-metal joint, so use a terminal marked AL9CU or CU/AL for aluminum runs instead.
6) Do I need a special crimper for Sta-Kon nylon insulated ring terminals?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper set to the yellow 12-10 AWG die nest. The color-coded insulated die crimps the barrel through the nylon and mylar without cutting it; an uninsulated or non-insulated-style tool will shear the sleeve. Strip only enough that the conductor bottoms in the barrel with no bare copper showing past the sleeve.
7) What does the nylon insulation with the mylar liner add over a plain vinyl ring terminal?
Nylon insulation on the RC363M is tougher than vinyl and resists abrasion and cut-through where a harness is pulled through a chase or bundled tight. The mylar sleeve inside the barrel supports the insulation during the crimp so the sleeve doesn't split or flare. Plain vinyl is the cheaper option for low-stress indoor terminations.
8) Is the Sta-Kon RC363M made in the USA for a Buy American spec?
Country of origin on the RC363M is the United States, which is the data point procurement groups on federal and institutional jobs ask for first.
