Sta-Kon RZ3F – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon RZ3F fork terminal take?
The RZ3F is sized for 0.25 to 0.75 mm2 conductor, which is roughly 24 to 18 AWG. Anything heavier than 0.75 mm2 will not crimp properly in this barrel, so for larger control or power conductors you need the next barrel size up in the same fork style.
2) What size screw or stud does the RZ3F fork terminal fit?
It is an M3 fork, so it slips over an M3 screw or stud, the size commonly found on terminal blocks, relay bases, and small control devices. The open fork means you only have to back the screw out, not remove it, when landing or swapping the wire.
3) Why is the RZ3F terminal green, and does the color mean anything?
Green on the RZ3F is the insulation color code for its wire range, 0.25 to 0.75 mm2, not an earth/ground marking. Crews use the color to sort terminals by conductor size on a panel build without reading each part number.
4) Should I use a fork terminal like the RZ3F or a ring terminal on my control panel?
Use the fork when you want to service the connection quickly: loosen the M3 screw and the wire comes off without pulling the screw and washer out of the block. Use a ring terminal instead where vibration is heavy or where a captive connection is required, because a ring cannot slide off a backed-out screw. For instrument and relay wiring in the 0.25 to 0.75 mm2 range, the fork is the normal choice.
5) Can I crimp the RZ3F with a plain pliers-type crimper?
No. The RZ3F is an insulated crimp terminal, and a reliable connection needs a ratcheting crimp tool with the correct insulated-terminal die for the 0.25 to 0.75 mm2 range. Hand-squeezing the barrel with pliers deforms the polycarbonate sleeve and leaves a joint that can pull out or heat up.
6) Is the RZ3F insulation good for a hot panel or an enclosure that runs warm?
The insulating sleeve is polycarbonate rather than vinyl, which holds up better to heat and handling abuse than soft PVC insulation. The conductor barrel itself is electrolytic copper, so it carries current with low resistance when crimped correctly.
7) What is the exact part number for the Sta-Kon green M3 fork terminal?
Order it as Sta-Kon RZ3F. That one part number covers the green polycarbonate insulated fork terminal for 0.25 to 0.75 mm2 wire with the M3 fork opening. Country of origin is Sweden.
