Sta-Kon C116-TB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon C116-TB fork terminal take?
The C116-TB is sized for 12-10 AWG conductor. Anything smaller, like 16-14 AWG, will not grip reliably in this barrel even if you can push it in, and larger than 10 AWG won't enter. If you're terminating a mixed panel, order a separate gauge range for the lighter conductors rather than trying to make this one cover both.
2) Is the Sta-Kon C116-TB insulated, and does it need a sleeve?
It's a non-insulated fork terminal, bare copper barrel with no nylon or vinyl sleeve. In a control cabinet or junction box where terminals sit close together, add heat shrink or a nylon sleeve over the crimp barrel to keep adjacent connections from shorting. If you want insulation built in, specify an insulated fork terminal in the same 12-10 AWG range instead.
3) Is this Sta-Kon terminal rated for 600 volt control and branch circuit work?
Yes. The C116-TB carries a 600 V rating and is UL listed under file E9809, which covers the typical 120/208/240/480 V panel, motor control, and lighting circuit work these terminals go into.
4) Can I crimp the Sta-Kon C116-TB with standard pliers?
Don't. It's a bare copper barrel with no color-coded insulation to index off, so the crimp has to be set with a tool matched to the 12-10 AWG non-insulated barrel. A plier crimp deforms the barrel unevenly and the joint loses the UL E9809 listed performance. Use a non-insulated terminal crimper with the correct 12-10 nest.
5) Can I use this copper fork terminal on aluminum wire?
No. The C116-TB barrel is copper and is rated for 12-10 AWG copper conductor. Terminating aluminum in a copper-only lug risks galvanic corrosion and a high-resistance joint. Use an AL/CU rated connector for aluminum branch wiring.
6) Is the Sta-Kon C116-TB made in the USA for a Buy American spec?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what institutional and government procurement needs on the submittal. The exact part number to put on the order is Sta-Kon C116-TB.
