Sta-Kon RC5 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Sta-Kon RC5 ring terminal take?
The RC5 is sized for 4 to 6 mm2 conductor, which is the yellow-coded range in the metric insulated terminal system. In AWG terms that band covers roughly 12 to 10 gauge stranded wire. If your conductor is smaller than 4 mm2 the barrel won't grip properly on a crimp, so step down to the next color code instead.
2) Is the RC5 terminal barrel copper or aluminum?
Electrolytic copper barrel, so it is for copper conductor only. Do not crimp it onto aluminum wire - that needs a terminal rated AL/CU with the appropriate inhibitor compound.
3) What does the yellow insulation on the RC5 mean?
Yellow is the color code for the 4 to 6 mm2 wire range on metric insulated terminals, so an electrician can identify the size on a crowded panel without reading the stamp. On the RC5 the insulation is polycarbonate rather than vinyl or nylon.
4) Should I use a ring terminal or a fork terminal on a terminal block stud?
A ring terminal like the Sta-Kon RC5 goes over the stud and is captured by the nut, so it cannot vibrate off if the nut loosens. A fork or spade slides out sideways, which makes it quicker to service but less secure. For motor terminals, grounding studs, and anything subject to vibration, the closed ring is the one to use.
5) What is the exact part number to order the yellow Sta-Kon ring terminal?
Order it as Sta-Kon RC5. That is the manufacturer part number for the yellow polycarbonate insulated ring terminal sized for 4 to 6 mm2 conductor. The part is made in Sweden.
6) Why pick a polycarbonate insulated terminal over a standard vinyl one?
Polycarbonate is a rigid engineering plastic rather than a soft PVC sleeve, so the insulation on the RC5 holds its shape through crimping and handling instead of deforming. It is the choice where the terminal body may take mechanical abuse in a panel or junction box.
