Sta-Kon RA2217 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RA2217 fork terminal accept?
The RA2217 is sized for 22 to 16 AWG stranded copper wire, which is the red insulation color code. Anything heavier (14-16 AWG and up) needs a different barrel size, so check your conductor gauge before crimping, since an oversized barrel will not hold under pull test.
2) What screw or stud size does the RA2217 fork terminal fit?
It is built for a No. 6 screw or stud. The slotted fork slips over a loosened No. 6 terminal screw without removing it, which is why it's used on control terminal strips and device screws rather than on larger lug studs.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RA2217 fork terminal UL listed?
It carries UL file E9809, which is the listing an institutional or MRO inspector will want to see on terminations inside panel work.
4) What is a locking fork terminal and when should I use one instead of a ring terminal?
A locking fork terminal like the RA2217 has an open, slotted tongue with turned-up tangs that grip under the screw head, so it resists backing out the way a plain spade does. Use it where you want to install or swap a conductor without pulling the screw all the way out of a terminal block. A ring terminal is the better choice where vibration is severe or where code or spec requires a fully captive connection, since the screw must be removed to get a ring on or off.
5) Is the RA2217 terminal rated for 600 volt control and panel wiring?
Yes, 600 V is the rating on the vinyl insulation, which covers typical control circuits, motor control panels, and line-voltage device wiring in commercial work.
6) Is the RA2217 terminal barrel copper or aluminum?
Copper. That means it terminates copper conductors directly without the dissimilar-metal concerns of an aluminum lug, and it should not be used on aluminum wire.
7) Is the Sta-Kon RA2217 made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States, which matters on government and federally funded jobs carrying domestic-content requirements.
8) Does the vinyl insulation on the RA2217 need heat shrink or additional sleeving?
No. The vinyl insulated barrel covers the crimp and the stripped conductor on its own, rated to 600 V. Add sleeving only if your spec calls for strain relief or an environmental seal, which this terminal does not provide.
