Sta-Kon RC486U – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC486U ring terminal crimp onto?
The RC486U takes 12-10 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. The yellow nylon insulation is the standard color code for that gauge range, so on a panel you can tell it apart from the blue 16-14 and red 22-16 terminals at a glance.
2) Why would I use a 90 degree ring terminal instead of a straight one?
The 90 degree bend on the RC486U turns the wire out of the plane of the stud, which keeps the conductor from having to be bent by hand right at the barrel. Electricians use it where the wire enters a terminal block or stud from the side, or in a shallow enclosure where a straight ring would force a tight radius against the can wall. For an in-line pull straight onto a stud, a standard flat ring tongue is the simpler choice.
3) Is the RC486U a ring terminal or a fork/spade type?
It is a closed ring (ret tongue) terminal, not a spade. The ring has to go over the stud, so the nut or screw must come off to install it. The tradeoff is that it cannot vibrate loose off the post the way an open spade can, which is why ring terminals are preferred on motor, control, and grounding connections.
4) What part number should I give my distributor for the yellow 12-10 AWG 90 degree ring terminal?
Order Sta-Kon RC486U. One model covers the whole item: yellow nylon insulated ring tongue, 12-10 AWG, No. 4 stud, 90 degree bend. There are no finish or size options to specify.
5) Is the insulation on this Sta-Kon terminal vinyl or nylon?
Nylon. Nylon-insulated barrels hold up better than vinyl against abrasion, solvents, and heat during installation, and they resist cracking when the funnel entry is flared by a stranded conductor. The RC486U is made in the United States.
