Sta-Kon C10-10FL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon C10-10FL fork terminal crimp?
The C10-10FL takes 12 to 10 AWG conductor. Anything smaller will not hold in the barrel, so step down to a terminal rated for 16-14 AWG if that is what you are landing.
2) What stud size does the Sta-Kon C10-10FL fork terminal fit?
It is a No. 10 fork, so it slips over a #10 screw or stud on a terminal block or breaker. The open fork means you only have to back the screw off rather than remove it, which is why electricians use these on panel and control work.
3) What voltage is the C10-10FL terminal rated for?
600 V, which covers standard commercial panelboard, motor control and lighting circuits. It also carries UL file E9809, so it will satisfy an inspector looking for a listed termination.
4) Is the Sta-Kon C10-10FL insulated?
No. It is a bare, non-insulated copper fork terminal. If the connection needs strain relief or a dielectric barrier at the barrel you will have to add heat shrink or sleeving, or specify an insulated fork instead.
5) What does the locking on a locking fork terminal actually do?
The locking fork has formed tangs at the open end that grip under the screw head, so the terminal resists being pulled off sideways if the screw loosens. A plain spade will walk out under vibration; the C10-10FL locking style is the one to use on equipment that shakes.
6) Should I use a fork terminal or a ring terminal for a #10 stud?
Use the ring when the connection is permanent and you can pull the screw out to install it; the ring cannot escape at all. Use a fork like the C10-10FL when you need to service or swap wires without removing hardware from the block. The locking tangs on this one close most of the gap in holding power between the two.
7) Is the Sta-Kon C10-10FL made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States, which matters if you are filling a government or institutional order with domestic sourcing language in it.
8) Can I crimp this terminal with ordinary pliers?
No. A bare copper barrel like this needs a proper ratcheting crimp die sized for 12-10 AWG to get a gas-tight connection. Pliers deform the barrel and the UL listing on the terminal assumes a correct crimp.
