Sta-Kon RC717ML – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC717ML ring terminal accept?
The RC717ML is sized for 12-10 AWG stranded copper wire. That is the yellow color code on vinyl insulated terminals, so if you are crimping 16-14 AWG (blue) or 22-16 AWG (red), this barrel is too large and the crimp will pull out.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RC717ML a copper terminal or aluminum?
Copper. The barrel and tongue are copper, which is what you want for terminating stranded copper building or panel wire. Do not use it on aluminum conductors, which require a terminal rated for aluminum.
3) What does the Mylar lift tab on this Sta-Kon ring terminal do?
The RC717ML comes on a Mylar strip with a lift tab, which is how these feed through a strip-fed crimping tool or applicator for production work. If you are crimping one at a time by hand with a standard insulated-terminal plier, a loose-piece terminal is simpler to work with.
4) Is a vinyl insulated ring terminal the right choice, or should I use a fork terminal?
A ring terminal like the RC717ML has a closed tongue, so it cannot vibrate off a stud even if the nut backs off slightly. That makes it the pick for ground connections, motor terminals, and anything on a vibrating machine. A fork or spade terminal slides on and off without removing the nut, which saves time on panels you service often, but it can work loose. The vinyl insulation on this one covers the barrel and gives strain relief at the wire entry.
5) Is the Sta-Kon RC717ML made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the RC717ML is the United States, which matters if you are on a government or institutional job with domestic sourcing requirements.
