STA-KON Fork Terminal for 16 AWG Wire

This STA-KON fork terminal is built for 16 AWG conductors and a #8 stud. The vinyl-insulated barrel accepts a crimp termination and is rated for 600 V maximum voltage. It suits technicians completing automotive or general electrical wiring where a secure ring-style connection is required.

#8 Stud Size and 16 AWG Wire Range

The critical match is the #8 stud opening paired with a 16 AWG maximum wire size. Tin-plated copper contacts and a brazed seam provide reliable conductivity. The barrel length is .54 in and the tongue length is .42 in, so verify these dimensions against your terminal block or busbar before ordering.

Vinyl Insulation and Agency Listings

Partial-coverage vinyl insulation in red identifies the 16 AWG range and withstands temperatures up to 221 degrees F. The connector carries UL Listing and CSA Certification but is not RoHS compliant. No additional tools, heat-shrink or software are bundled; only the terminal itself is supplied.

Questions about this item

How much current can the 16 AWG fork terminal carry once crimped in a live circuit?

The terminal is rated for 600 V maximum voltage; actual current capacity follows the ampacity of the 16 AWG conductor and the #8 stud connection in your application.

What does the 600 V rating cap in practice when the terminal is installed?

The 600 V UL and CSA rating limits the maximum system voltage the insulated crimp joint can withstand; do not exceed this voltage in the circuit.

Will the 0.42 in tongue and 0.54 in barrel fit a standard #8 stud and 16 AWG wire without modification?

Yes, the 0.42 in tongue is sized for a #8 stud and the 0.54 in insulation-grip barrel accepts 16 AWG wire for a direct crimp fit.
