Sta-Kon RC5F – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RC5F fork terminal take?
The RC5F is sized for 4 to 6 mm2 conductor, which is the yellow band in the standard insulated terminal color code. If your conductor is smaller (1.5 to 2.5 mm2 blue, or 0.5 to 1.5 mm2 red), the barrel will not crimp down tight and you need the smaller size in the series instead.
2) My wire is marked in AWG, not mm2. Does the RC5F work for 10 AWG?
The RC5F covers 4 to 6 mm2, which lines up with roughly 12 to 10 AWG stranded copper. For 10 AWG it is the right size; for 14 AWG and smaller you want the blue or red size in the series.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RC5F a ring terminal or an open fork?
It is an open fork (spade) terminal. The slot is open on one end, so you can loosen the screw and slide the terminal out without disconnecting anything else on the stud. A ring terminal is the better choice where vibration or accidental pull-off is a concern, since the screw has to come all the way out before the lug can leave.
4) What is the RC5F terminal barrel made of, and is the insulation good for panel work?
The crimp barrel is electrolytic copper, which is what gives it low contact resistance on control and power wiring. The insulating sleeve is polycarbonate rather than soft vinyl, so it holds its shape better under heat and handling inside a panel or enclosure.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for the Sta-Kon RC5F?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper with the yellow (4 to 6 mm2) nest. The color code on insulated terminals doubles as the die selection, and the RC5F is yellow, so crimping it in a red or blue die will either under-crimp the barrel or crush the polycarbonate sleeve.
6) What part number do I order for the Sta-Kon yellow M5 fork terminal?
Order Sta-Kon RC5F. That single model number covers the yellow polycarbonate-insulated fork terminal for 4 to 6 mm2 wire with an M5 stud slot. The parts are manufactured in Sweden.
