Thomas & Betts RC10-8FS Nylon Insulated Flanged Fork Terminal

Description:

The Thomas & Betts RC10-8FS Nylon Insulated Flanged Fork Terminal is used to provide a secure crimp connection between 12–10 AWG conductors and a #8 stud or screw terminal. Commonly installed in industrial control panels, electrical equipment, HVAC systems, automotive wiring, OEM machinery, and commercial electrical installations where fast installation and vibration-resistant insulated terminations are required. Maintenance electricians, OEM manufacturers, and system integrators use this fork terminal for new installations, maintenance, repairs, and replacement of existing wire terminations.

Applications:

The Thomas & Betts RC10-8FS is part of the Sta-Kon® RC Series and features a nylon-insulated flanged fork design with turned-up tips that allow easy installation without completely removing the terminal screw. Its brazed seam serrated barrel provides high pull-out strength, while the inner bronze insulation grip sleeve increases conductor support and minimizes wire fatigue. Manufactured from electrolytic copper with an electro tin-plated finish, it is ideal for industrial machinery, switchgear, motor controls, instrumentation panels, commercial electrical systems, automotive applications, and OEM equipment.
