Sta-Kon C480R – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon C480R ring terminal accept?
The C480R takes 12-10 AWG conductors. If you are terminating 14-16 AWG or anything heavier than 10 AWG, this barrel is the wrong size and the crimp won't hold.
2) Will the Sta-Kon C480R ring terminal fit a #8 screw or stud?
Yes, the C480R is built for a No. 8 stud. The ring tongue goes over the screw and is captured when you tighten it, so unlike a fork or spade it can't vibrate off the terminal block.
3) Is the Sta-Kon C480R insulated, and do I need to add anything over it?
It's a non-insulated terminal, bare metal barrel and tongue. For panel work inside an enclosure that's usually fine, but if the lug sits where it could be touched or could short to an adjacent stud, plan on heat shrink or a snap-on insulating sleeve over the barrel. An insulated ring terminal in the same 12-10 AWG range is the alternative if you'd rather not add a second step.
4) Do I need a special crimper for a non-insulated Sta-Kon terminal?
Non-insulated lugs like the C480R crimp with the bare-terminal nest of a ratcheting or plier-type crimper, not the color-coded insulated nests. The insulated dies are sized around the plastic sleeve and will under-compress a bare barrel. Match the die to 12-10 AWG.
5) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork terminal for a motor or control panel stud?
Use a ring where the connection carries vibration or where a loose wire is a safety problem, because the stud has to come all the way out before the terminal can leave. Fork or spade terminals slide off sideways under a loosened screw, which is why they're mostly used where frequent service access matters more than retention. The C480R is the ring style for 12-10 AWG on a No. 8 stud.
6) Is the Sta-Kon C480R made in the USA?
Country of origin on the C480R is the United States, which is what institutional and government buyers working to domestic-sourcing requirements need on file.
7) What part number do I order for a Sta-Kon 12-10 AWG ring terminal with a #8 hole?
Order Sta-Kon C480R. That one number covers the whole configuration: non-insulated ring, 12-10 AWG barrel, No. 8 stud size. There are no finish or size options to specify.
