Sta-Kon 18RA-8FL Fork Terminal

The Sta-Kon 18RA-8FL is a vinyl-insulated fork terminal designed for 16 AWG wire and a #8 stud. It carries a 600 V rating and a maximum operating temperature of 221 Degrees F. The red colour mapping identifies the wire range at a glance. It suits technicians making secure crimp connections in automotive or general electrical work.

Crimp Installation With Insulation Grip

The barrel length is .56 in and the tongue length is .42 in, providing a defined crimp area. A brazed seam and insulation grip barrel style help prevent wire pull-out during termination. Partial insulation coverage means the installer must verify the crimp position visually. The terminal is UL Listed and CSA Certified for code compliance.

Suited For Single-Wire #8 Stud Connections

This terminal fits applications needing a fork tongue on a #8 stud with 16 AWG conductors. It is not for buyers who need ring terminals, larger wire gauges, or fully insulated barrels. The tin-plated copper contact suits standard crimp tooling. Users requiring RoHS-compliant parts or different stud sizes should select another product.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the crimp is secure on the 16 AWG wire after installation?

A proper crimp shows the barrel fully compressed around the conductor with no loose strands visible; the vinyl insulation should sit flush against the barrel end and the fork tongue must sit flat against the #8 stud without rocking.

What comes in the package and do I need a separate crimp tool?

The package contains the vinyl-insulated fork terminals only; a ratchet crimp tool sized for 16 AWG insulated terminals is required and sold separately.

Should I choose the 18RA-8FL or a different stud size for my #8 mounting screw?

Select the 18RA-8FL when the mounting hardware is a #8 stud; its fork tongue is sized for that stud, while other stud sizes in the range will not fit correctly.
