Sta-Kon C482R – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon C482R ring terminal take?
The C482R is sized for 12-10 AWG conductors. That covers both stranded 12 and 10 gauge building and control wire, so one terminal and one die setting handles both sizes on a panel job.
2) Is the Sta-Kon C482R insulated?
No. The C482R is a non-insulated, all-metal ring terminal. There is no nylon or vinyl sleeve, so if you need strain relief or color-coded insulation at the barrel you will have to add heat shrink or choose an insulated ring instead.
3) Should I use a ring terminal like the C482R or a spade/fork terminal on my terminal block?
Use the ring when the connection must not back off the screw. A ring is a closed barrel of metal around the stud, so a loosening screw cannot let the wire pull sideways out of the landing, which is why rings are specified for ground connections and for equipment subject to vibration. Fork or spade terminals slide on and off without removing the screw and are faster for service work, but they can walk off a loose screw. The C482R is the 12-10 AWG, No. 8 stud ring.
4) Do I need a special crimp tool for the non-insulated C482R terminal?
Yes, a non-insulated terminal crimps with a non-insulated die, not the red/blue/yellow insulated nest. Non-insulated barrels are indented or confined-crimped on the metal barrel itself, so a standard insulated-terminal plier will not form the joint correctly. Set the tool for the 12-10 AWG range the C482R is rated for.
5) Is the Sta-Kon C482R made in the USA for a Buy American spec job?
Country of origin on the C482R ring terminal is the United States. For federal, institutional, or transit work carrying a domestic-content clause, that is the origin figure to put on the submittal.
6) Can I use the C482R on solid wire, or only stranded?
The terminal is specified by conductor size, 12-10 AWG, rather than by strand construction. Crimp barrels like this one are intended for stranded conductors; solid wire does not deform in the barrel the same way and is normally landed directly under the screw. For solid 12 or 10 AWG, terminate it bare under the binding head rather than crimping this ring onto it.
7) What is the exact part number to order the Sta-Kon 12-10 AWG No. 8 ring terminal?
Order Sta-Kon C482R. That is the manufacturer part number for the non-insulated radius ring terminal, 12-10 AWG wire range, No. 8 stud size.
