Could not click on anchor href element using Selenium Java webdriver

Below is the html code:

<a href="javascript:void(0)">
STK10000251
VESUVIUS29
Vesuvius India Ltd  
</a>

And I have written the following xpath:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(), 'STK10000251')]")).click();

After executing the above statement I'm getting below error:

Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document

Where am I getting it wrong

Induce WebDriverWait() and wait for elementToBeClickable()

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(), 'STK10000251')]")));
element.click();
