Sta-Kon A18-6FL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon A18-6FL fork terminal crimp?
The A18-6FL locking fork terminal takes 22 to 16 AWG stranded copper conductors. That covers typical control wiring, thermostat and low-voltage signal runs. Anything 14 AWG or larger needs a different barrel size.
2) What screw size does the A18-6FL fork terminal fit?
It is a No. 6 stud terminal, so it slips over a #6 screw or terminal-block stud. The fork (spade) tongue means you can slide it under a partly backed-off screw instead of removing the screw entirely, which is why electricians favor it on crowded control panels and terminal strips.
3) Can I use the A18-6FL on a 480 V motor control circuit?
Yes, it is rated 600 V, which covers 120, 208, 240, 277 and 480 V control and power circuits within its 22-16 AWG conductor range.
4) Is the Sta-Kon A18-6FL UL listed for inspected work?
It carries UL file E9809, so it is a recognized terminal for work that has to pass inspection. Install it with a proper crimp tool for the 22-16 AWG barrel range, since an unlisted hand squeeze on a non-insulated barrel is the usual reason a termination gets flagged.
5) Is the Sta-Kon A18-6FL insulated or bare?
Bare metal. The A18-6FL is a non-insulated copper terminal with a metallic finish, so there is no nylon or vinyl sleeve over the barrel. If the application needs strain relief or a color-coded insulated barrel, you want an insulated fork terminal instead; with this one you insulate the crimp yourself with heat shrink or tape if the location calls for it.
6) What does the "locking" in a locking fork terminal actually do?
The tongue on the A18-6FL has formed detents at the fork opening that grip the screw shank, so the terminal resists backing out from under the screw head on a vibrating panel or motor control. A plain fork terminal can walk out; this one stays put. Electrically and dimensionally it still lands on a No. 6 stud like any other fork tongue.
7) Will the A18-6FL work on aluminum conductors?
No. It is a copper terminal intended for copper conductors in the 22-16 AWG range. Aluminum wire needs a terminal rated AL or AL/CU with the appropriate inhibitor compound.
8) Are Sta-Kon terminals made in the USA?
The A18-6FL is made in the United States, which matters on government, institutional and other domestic-preference procurement.
9) What is the exact part number to order this Sta-Kon fork terminal?
Order it as Sta-Kon A18-6FL: a non-insulated locking fork terminal, 22-16 AWG, No. 6 stud.
