Sta-Kon A225 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge range does the Sta-Kon A225 fork terminal take?
The A225 is built for 22 to 16 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. If your conductor is 14 AWG or larger, this is the wrong barrel size and the crimp won't hold reliably, so step up to a terminal rated for that gauge.
2) What screw size does the Sta-Kon A225 fork terminal fit?
It is sized for a No. 10 stud or screw. The fork slot slides around a loosened No. 10 terminal screw, so you don't have to pull the screw all the way out of a breaker, contactor, or terminal block to land the wire.
3) Can I use the Sta-Kon A225 terminal on 480 V control wiring?
The A225 carries a 600 V rating, so 120 V, 240 V, and 480 V control and power circuits are within rating. It is also UL recognized under file E9809, which is what an institutional or MRO inspector will want to see on terminations in a listed panel.
4) Is the Sta-Kon A225 insulated, and does that matter in a crowded panel?
It's a non-insulated terminal, bare copper with no plastic or nylon sleeve over the barrel. In a tight enclosure or a control panel where conductors are bundled, you'll want to sleeve the crimp yourself or use an insulated fork terminal instead. The upside of non-insulated is that you can see the wire in the barrel and inspect the crimp.
5) What makes a locking fork terminal different from a plain spade terminal?
A locking fork has turned-up tangs at the tips of the fork. Once the screw is torqued down, those tangs catch under the screw head and resist the terminal backing out from vibration. A plain spade or open fork can work its way free under vibration. For motor controls, HVAC equipment, and anything that shakes, the locking style is the one to specify.
6) Do I need a special crimp tool for the Sta-Kon A225 fork terminal?
It is a non-insulated terminal, so it crimps in the non-insulated nest of a terminal crimper, not the color-coded insulated nest. Using the wrong die on a bare barrel gives you a loose or over-crushed crimp. The terminal itself ships bare, with no screw or washer, so the mounting screw comes from the device you are landing it on.
7) Is the Sta-Kon A225 made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin is the United States. That matters if you are buying against a Buy American or domestic-preference clause on a government, healthcare, or education job.
8) What is the Sta-Kon part number for the 22-16 AWG No. 10 locking fork terminal?
Order it as Sta-Kon A225. That's the manufacturer part number for the non-insulated locking fork terminal covering 22-16 AWG with a No. 10 stud opening.
