Sta-Kon A18-10FL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon A18-10FL fork terminal accept?
The A18-10FL takes 22 to 16 AWG conductors. If you're terminating 14 AWG or larger, this barrel is too small and you need the next size up in the Sta-Kon fork range.
2) What stud or screw size does the Sta-Kon A18-10FL fit?
It's a No. 10 fork, so it slips over a #10 screw or stud, the size commonly found on terminal blocks, contactors, and device screws. The fork tongue is locking, so once it's under the screw head it resists backing out under vibration.
3) Is the Sta-Kon A18-10FL insulated, and do I need to sleeve it?
It's a bare, non-insulated copper fork terminal, metallic finish, no nylon or vinyl sleeve. In a panel where conductors are crowded or the terminal could contact an adjacent live part, add heat shrink or a terminal boot after crimping.
4) Is this Sta-Kon terminal UL recognized for electrical inspection?
The A18-10FL carries UL file E9809, which is what an inspector or a spec reviewer looks for on a terminal in a control panel or equipment build.
5) Should I use a locking fork terminal or a ring terminal on a terminal block?
A fork like the A18-10FL goes on and off without pulling the screw all the way out, which is why panel builders and service techs favor it for terminal blocks and devices that get re-terminated. A ring terminal is captive and can't vibrate off even if the screw loosens, so it's the choice for motor leads, grounds, and anything exposed to heavy vibration. The locking fork tongue on this part splits the difference by gripping under the screw head.
6) Does the Sta-Kon A18-10FL need a crimp tool or can I solder it?
It's a crimp terminal, designed to be compressed onto the conductor with a crimper matched to the 22-16 AWG barrel range. Use a tool sized for that range; an oversized die on a small barrel gives a loose joint that will heat up and pull out.
7) Are these Sta-Kon fork terminals made in the USA?
Country of origin on the A18-10FL is the United States, which matters if you're buying against a domestic-content or Buy American requirement on a government or institutional job.
