Sta-Kon RC2224 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC2224 fork terminal crimp onto?
The RC2224 locking fork terminal takes 12-10 AWG wire. The yellow nylon insulation is the standard color code for that gauge band, so on a panel you can spot the 12-10 terminations at a glance without pulling the wire out of the barrel. Anything smaller than 12 AWG will not hold a reliable crimp in this barrel; step down to the 16-14 (blue) or 22-18 (red) size for those conductors.
2) What stud or screw size does the RC2224 fork terminal fit?
It is built for a No. 10 stud or screw. The fork is open-ended, so it slides in under a partly backed-off No. 10 terminal screw rather than needing the screw removed, which is why electricians use these on terminal strips and breaker screws where a ring terminal would mean pulling the hardware all the way out.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RC2224 rated for 600 volt control circuits?
Yes. The RC2224 carries a 600 V rating, which covers typical 120/208, 240, 277 and 480 V control and power wiring in commercial panels.
4) Is this fork terminal UL listed for an inspected commercial panel?
The RC2224 is covered under UL file E9809. That is the reference an inspector or a spec writer will want against a terminal used in a listed assembly, and it is worth recording on the submittal for institutional and government work.
5) Should I use a locking fork terminal or a ring terminal on a motor starter?
A ring terminal is the captive choice and cannot vibrate off the stud, so it is the one to use where code or spec calls for a fully captive termination. A locking fork like the RC2224 gives you the speed of a fork, slide it in without removing the screw, with a formed tongue that resists backing out once the screw is torqued. On dense terminal strips and control panels where you service individual conductors, the locking fork is the practical pick; on high-vibration equipment terminations, go ring.
6) Is the RC2224 terminal barrel copper or aluminum?
Copper barrel with a nylon insulating sleeve. That means it is for copper conductors, not aluminum, aluminum wire needs a terminal specifically marked AL or AL9CU with the proper inhibitor. Nylon insulation also stands up to crimping and handling better than the vinyl sleeve on economy terminals, so it is the one to specify where the harness gets flexed or pulled through conduit.
7) Is the Sta-Kon RC2224 made in the USA for domestic-preference projects?
Country of origin is the United States. For federal, state, and institutional jobs carrying a domestic-content requirement on electrical materials, that is the line a procurement officer needs on the submittal.
8) What part number do I order for a yellow 12-10 AWG No. 10 locking fork terminal from Sta-Kon?
Sta-Kon RC2224. It is a single part number with no finish or size options to specify, 12-10 AWG barrel, No. 10 fork, yellow nylon insulation.
