Sta-Kon A18-10F – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon A18-10F fork terminal crimp onto?
The A18-10F is sized for 22 to 16 AWG stranded wire. Anything heavier than 16 AWG will not seat in the barrel, and below 22 AWG the crimp won't hold reliably, so step up or down the Sta-Kon range for those conductors.
2) What stud or screw size does the A18-10F fork terminal fit?
It's a No. 10 fork (spade) tongue, so it slides under a #10 screw or stud. Because the tongue is open-ended rather than a closed ring, you don't have to pull the screw all the way out to land or remove the wire, which is why these get used on terminal strips and device screws.
3) Is the Sta-Kon A18-10F UL listed for an inspected installation?
It carries UL file E9809, which is what an inspector or a spec on an institutional job typically wants to see cited for a wire termination. Use the listed crimp tool and die for the 22-16 AWG range to keep the termination within that listing.
4) Is the Sta-Kon A18-10F insulated or bare?
Bare. It's a non-insulated copper terminal with a metallic finish, so there is no nylon or vinyl sleeve over the barrel. If the connection sits in an enclosure where adjacent terminals could be bridged, either sleeve it with heat shrink or specify an insulated fork terminal instead.
5) Can I use the A18-10F on a 480V control circuit?
Yes, the terminal carries a 600 V rating, which covers 120, 240, 277 and 480 V circuits. Keep in mind it's a bare terminal, so insulation of the finished connection is on you.
6) Should I use a fork terminal or a ring terminal on a panel screw?
A fork tongue like the A18-10F only needs the screw backed off, not removed, so it's faster on crowded terminal strips and on service or retrofit work where you're swapping conductors. A ring terminal is captive and can't vibrate off a loosened screw, which is why ring is the choice on motor leads, vehicles, and anything subject to vibration. Both land under a #10 screw here.
7) Is the Sta-Kon A18-10F made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States, which matters if you're buying under a domestic-preference clause on a government or institutional purchase order.
8) What is the exact part number to order this Sta-Kon fork terminal under?
Order it as Sta-Kon A18-10F. The A18 prefix identifies the 22-16 AWG barrel, the 10 is the #10 stud size, and the F designates the fork tongue.
