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

Thomas & Betts RC10-8FS is a nylon-insulated flanged fork terminal designed to provide a secure crimp connection between 12–10 AWG conductors and a #8 (M4) stud or screw terminal, enabling fast, vibration-resistant terminations in industrial control panels, electrical equipment, HVAC systems, automotive wiring, OEM machinery, and commercial electrical installations. Part of the Sta-Kon RC Series, the terminal features a yellow nylon insulation, turned-up tips that ease installation without fully removing the terminal screw, a brazed-seam serrated barrel for high pull-out strength, and an inner bronze insulation grip sleeve that increases conductor support and minimizes wire fatigue. It is manufactured from electrolytic copper with an electro tin-plated finish. Technical specs include: tongue width 0.34 in, tongue thickness 0.04 in, overall length 0.97 in, maximum insulation diameter 0.210 in, and clearance 0.23 in. It is rated for 600 VAC and 105°C, with UL 94 V-2 flammability, and is UL Recognized (UL File E9809), CSA Certified, RoHS 3, REACH, and TSCA 6(h) compliant. Common replacements include RC10-8F, RC10-10FS, and RC10-6FS. Common applications cover industrial machinery, switchgear, motor controls, instrumentation panels, commercial electrical systems, automotive applications, and OEM equipment; maintenance electricians, OEM manufacturers, and system integrators use it for new installations, maintenance, and replacement of wire terminations.
