Sta-Kon C10-8F – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon C10-8F fork terminal crimp onto?
The C10-8F takes 12 to 10 AWG conductor. Anything smaller, like 16-14 AWG, will not hold a reliable crimp in this barrel, and 8 AWG will not enter it. Match the barrel to the actual conductor size, not the insulation diameter.
2) Will the Sta-Kon C10-8F fit a #8 screw or stud?
Yes. The C10-8F fork (spade) tongue is sized for a No. 8 stud or screw. Because it is a fork and not a ring, you can slide it under a partially loosened terminal screw without removing the screw, which is why panel and control-wiring techs favour it for service work.
3) Is this fork terminal insulated, and does that matter in a crowded enclosure?
It is non-insulated bare copper, so the crimp barrel is exposed metal. In tight terminal blocks or panels where adjacent terminations could touch, you need to add heat shrink or an insulating sleeve yourself, or choose an insulated fork terminal instead. The bare barrel is an advantage where you want to inspect the crimp or where the terminal seats under a captive screw plate with no room for a nylon collar.
4) What voltage is the Sta-Kon C10-8F rated for?
600 V. That covers standard commercial control circuits, motor control panels, lighting circuits and line-voltage HVAC controls. The terminal carries UL file E9809.
5) Is the C10-8F UL listed for use in a commercial panel?
The terminal is covered under UL file E9809. For institutional and MRO submittals, that is the reference to cite along with the 600 V rating and the 12-10 AWG range.
6) Should I use a fork terminal or a ring terminal for 12-10 AWG at a #8 screw?
A fork terminal like the C10-8F goes on and comes off without pulling the screw all the way out, which saves time on panel changes and troubleshooting. A ring terminal cannot back off the stud, so it is the better choice on vibrating equipment, motor leads, and anywhere a code or spec requires a captive connection. Both handle the same 12-10 AWG conductor.
7) Can a non-insulated copper fork terminal be crimped with a standard insulated-terminal tool?
No. Non-insulated barrels need a non-insulated crimp die, which forms an indent or oval directly on the metal barrel. The color-coded nests on an insulated-terminal tool are sized for the nylon or vinyl sleeve and will under-form this bare copper barrel. Use the non-insulated die station sized for 12-10 AWG.
8) Is the Sta-Kon C10-8F made in the USA?
Country of origin is the United States. For agency, government, and institutional orders with domestic-sourcing language, that is the data point buyers usually need on wire terminations.
