Sta-Kon RC863UFR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC863UFR ring terminal take?
The RC863UFR is sized for 12-10 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. The yellow nylon insulation is the standard color code for that gauge band, so on a panel where blue is 16-14 and red is 22-18, yellow tells the next electrician it's a 12-10 termination without pulling the lug.
2) What is a 45 degree reverse bend ring terminal used for?
The RC863UFR has its ring tongue bent back 45 degrees from the barrel instead of running flat and straight. That angle lets the wire approach a terminal block or stud from the side or from behind, which is how you keep a conductor from kinking when the stud faces away from the wire run, or when a wiring gutter is too shallow for a straight flag. If your stud is in line with the wire, a standard flat ring terminal is the simpler choice.
3) Why pick a ring terminal over a spade or fork terminal on a No. 8 stud?
A ring tongue is captive: the bolt has to come all the way out before the conductor can leave the stud. A fork or spade slides off under a loosened nut, which is why vibration-prone equipment and ground connections are usually specified as rings. The tradeoff is service time, since you cannot back a ring off a stud without removing the nut entirely. The RC863UFR gives you that captive ring on a No. 8 stud for 12-10 AWG wire.
4) What part number should I order to match the yellow 45 degree ring terminals already in my panel?
The manufacturer part number is RC863UFR from Sta-Kon. Order by that number to stay consistent with 12-10 AWG yellow nylon rings on a No. 8 stud with the reverse bend tongue, rather than by the color alone, since yellow covers every 12-10 terminal style in the line.
5) Is the RC863UFR insulated, and what is the insulation made of?
It's a nylon insulated ring terminal. Nylon sleeves hold up better to abrasion and crush during crimping than vinyl, and they stay in place when the terminal is pulled through a harness.
