Fork terminal for #8 stud and 14 AWG wire

This STA-KON fork terminal accepts a #8 stud and 14 AWG conductors with a 600 V rating. The vinyl insulation is coloured blue for quick identification. It is designed for crimp termination in electrical wiring tasks. The barrel length measures 0.54 in and the tongue length is 0.42 in.

Brazed seam and insulation grip barrel

The brazed seam construction provides a strong mechanical joint after crimping. An insulation grip barrel style holds the wire jacket to reduce strain on the conductor. Partial insulation coverage leaves the contact area exposed for inspection. The contact material is copper with a tin finish for corrosion resistance.

Check stud size and wire gauge before ordering

Verify that your application uses a #8 stud and 14 AWG wire to match this terminal. The maximum operating temperature is 221 degrees F, so confirm the environment stays within that limit. This part is UL Listed and CSA Certified for code compliance. It is not RoHS compliant.

Questions about this item

Will the vinyl insulation on the STA-KON 14RB-8FL fork terminal need replacement after prolonged exposure to high temperatures?

The vinyl insulation is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 221 Degrees F; it does not require scheduled replacement but should be inspected if ambient temperatures approach this limit.

What mechanical limit appears first when the terminal is crimped onto 14 AWG wire and subjected to repeated vibration?

The brazed seam on the barrel provides a continuous metal path; the crimp joint on the copper barrel is the first point to check for loosening under sustained vibration.

Does the terminal generate noticeable heat when carrying continuous current at the 600 V rating?

The copper contact with tin finish is designed for the rated current of 14 AWG wire; significant heat rise only occurs if the crimp is poor or the wire is undersized for the load.
