Sta-Kon RC10-6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RC10-6 ring terminal accept?
The RC10-6 is sized for 12 to 10 AWG conductors, which is what the yellow nylon insulation signals on Sta-Kon color coding. Run it on anything smaller, like 16-14 AWG, and the barrel won't grip after crimping even if the ring stud size is right.
2) What stud or screw size does the RC10-6 ring fit?
The ring tongue is a No. 6 stud size, so it lands on a #6 screw or terminal post. Larger posts need a different ring size in the same 12-10 AWG family.
3) Ring terminal or fork/spade terminal for a terminal block landing?
A ring terminal like the RC10-6 is the choice where the connection must not back out under vibration, since the screw passes fully through the closed tongue and the wire cannot slip off a loosened screw. A fork or spade is faster to install and remove without pulling the screw all the way out, which is why it is common on panels serviced often. For a No. 6 stud with 12-10 AWG wire on equipment that vibrates, go with the ring.
4) What is the barrel on the RC10-6 made of, and does it matter for aluminum wire?
The crimp barrel is copper, so it is intended for copper conductors. Aluminum building wire needs a terminal rated AL or AL9CU; do not land aluminum in this one.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for the RC10-6?
Use a crimper matched to the yellow 12-10 AWG insulated-terminal nest. Insulated nylon terminals are crimped over the sleeve, so pliers or an uncalibrated tool will split the nylon or leave a loose barrel. No tool is supplied with the terminal.
6) Does the nylon insulation on this ring terminal hold up better than vinyl?
The RC10-6 uses a nylon insulating sleeve rather than vinyl. Nylon is the tougher of the two against abrasion, cut-through and solvents, which is why it is specified in equipment and panel work where the lead gets flexed or pulled through a raceway.
7) Is the Sta-Kon RC10-6 made in the USA?
Country of origin on the RC10-6 is the United States, which matters on government and institutional orders carrying domestic-sourcing language.
