Sta-Kon C480 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon C480 ring terminal accept?
The C480 is sized for 12 to 10 AWG conductors. Anything smaller than 12 AWG will not fill the barrel enough for a reliable crimp, and 8 AWG won't enter it, so step to a larger terminal for those runs.
2) Will a No. 8 stud fit the Sta-Kon C480 terminal ring?
Yes, the C480 is drilled for a No. 8 stud or screw. On a terminal block or ground lug with a #10 or 1/4-20 stud the tongue will not seat, so match the stud size before ordering.
3) Is the Sta-Kon C480 rated for 600 volt circuits?
600 V is the rating on the C480, which covers standard commercial branch circuits, panel wiring, motor leads and control gear. It is UL recognized under file E9809.
4) Does the C480 ring terminal come with insulation, and does that matter on my job?
It's a non-insulated terminal, bare copper with no nylon or vinyl sleeve. That means no color-coded barrel to identify gauge and no strain relief at the wire entry, so inside a panel or junction box you add heat shrink or tape where clearance to adjacent terminals is tight. Non-insulated is the usual pick where the crimp has to be inspected, where a sleeve won't fit under a terminal block cover, or where temperatures would damage insulation.
5) What is the C480 terminal made of, and can I use it on aluminum wire?
The C480 body is copper, so it is intended for copper conductors. Aluminum needs a terminal specifically marked AL or AL9CU with the right compound, and using a copper-only lug on aluminum risks galvanic corrosion at the joint.
6) Rectangular tongue versus a standard round ring terminal, which should I use?
The C480 has a rectangular (tongue) ring rather than a round one. The flat rectangular pad is what you want where terminals sit shoulder to shoulder on a block or bus and a round tongue would overlap the neighbor, and it resists rotation under the screw better. A round ring is fine for isolated studs and ground screws where spacing isn't a concern. Either way it is a closed ring, so unlike a fork or spade it cannot pull off a loosened screw.
7) Are Sta-Kon C480 terminals made in the USA for government and institutional specs?
Country of origin on the C480 is the United States, which is the data procurement officers on federal, education and healthcare projects usually need for domestic-content documentation.
8) What part number do I order to standardize 12-10 AWG No. 8 stud terminations across a facility?
Order Sta-Kon C480. One MPN covers the whole 12-10 AWG range on No. 8 studs, so an MRO crib can carry a single bin for both gauges instead of two. It's bare metallic copper, so there's no finish variation to match across sites.
