Sta-Kon RC8 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Sta-Kon RC8 barrel copper or aluminium?
Electrolytic copper barrel. That means it is for copper conductors, not aluminium: a copper-only lug on aluminium wire is the classic dissimilar-metal mistake. If your run is aluminium you need a terminal rated AL/CU instead.
2) Why is the Sta-Kon RC8 terminal yellow?
Yellow is the standard insulation colour code for the 4 to 6 mm2 (about 12 to 10 AWG) wire range, which is what the RC8 is built for. If you are working with a colour-coded crimp set, yellow tells the installer and the inspector the barrel matches that conductor size without having to read the stamp.
3) What is the difference between a ring terminal like the RC8 and a fork or spade terminal?
The RC8 is a closed ring, so the screw or stud passes through it and the connection cannot slip off if the fastener backs out slightly. A fork or spade terminal is open on one side and can be slid under a loosened screw, which is faster for service work on terminal strips but less secure under vibration. For motor terminals, ground studs, and panel bus landings, the ring is the one to specify.
4) Is the insulation on the Sta-Kon RC8 nylon or vinyl?
Neither. The RC8 uses a polycarbonate insulating sleeve, which is a harder, more impact- and heat-tolerant plastic than the soft PVC vinyl found on economy crimps. It resists splitting at the barrel mouth when the crimp is set.
5) What part number do I order for the yellow Sta-Kon ring terminal?
Order Sta-Kon RC8. That is the manufacturer part number for the yellow polycarbonate-insulated ring terminal covering 4 to 6 mm2 conductor. It is made in Sweden.
