Sta-Kon RC2227 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC2227 fork terminal accept?
The RC2227 is sized for 12-10 AWG stranded copper conductors, and the yellow vinyl insulation is the standard color code for that range. Run a smaller wire like 14 or 16 AWG into it and the crimp won't hold; step down to a blue-insulated 16-14 AWG terminal for those conductors.
2) Will a No. 10 screw fit the Sta-Kon RC2227 fork terminal?
Yes. The RC2227 is built for a No. 10 stud or screw, so it drops onto a #10 terminal block screw, breaker lug screw, or ground screw without a washer adapter. A 1/4-inch stud is too large for the fork opening.
3) Can I use a fork terminal instead of a ring terminal on a terminal strip?
That's the main reason to pick the RC2227. A locking fork slides in under a screw you only have to loosen, not remove, which matters on control panels and terminal strips where the screw is captive. The locking tangs resist pulling back out under vibration. If the connection is on a stud that must be fully torqued down and you want a termination that cannot back off at all, use a ring terminal instead.
4) What voltage is the Sta-Kon RC2227 terminal rated for?
600 V. That covers standard 120/208, 240, 277 and 480 V building branch circuits and control wiring, so it is usable in panels, motor control, and lighting circuits within that limit.
5) Is the Sta-Kon RC2227 barrel copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum wire?
The barrel is copper, so it is for copper conductors only. Aluminum branch wiring needs an AL/CU rated connector; crimping aluminum into a copper-only barrel invites a corroded, high-resistance joint.
6) What crimp tool do I need for the yellow 12-10 AWG Sta-Kon terminal?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper on its yellow 12-10 AWG nest. The color coding on the vinyl sleeve matches the tool die, so matching yellow to yellow gets the correct compression. Pliers will not produce a reliable crimp on a 12-10 barrel.
7) Where is the Sta-Kon RC2227 terminal made?
Manufactured in the United States, which is what government and institutional buyers working to domestic-sourcing requirements usually need to document.
8) What is the exact part number to order this yellow locking fork terminal?
Order Sta-Kon RC2227. The R prefix family covers the 12-10 AWG yellow insulated range, and the 2227 identifies the No. 10 locking fork configuration.
