Technical Features
- Zinc-plated inner spring with tight square profile: Resists corrosion and makes quick, secure contact with conductors, ensuring connections with positive continuity.
- Side-knurled polypropylene shell: Provides a firm, non-slip grip during installation, reducing hand fatigue during high-volume wiring tasks.
- Deep skirt shell design: Prevents exposure of bare wire after termination, reducing the risk of accidental contact and improving job-site safety.
- Flame-retardant thermoplastic shell rated to 221F: Resists heat distortion in high-temperature environments, maintaining connection integrity over time.
- Chemical-resistant shell: Withstands hydrocarbons, diluted acids, and alkaline solutions, making these connectors suitable for demanding installation environments.
- Fewer turns required to reach torque specification: Speeds up installation time compared to standard twist-on connectors while still meeting UL torque requirements.
- High-dielectric shell material: Provides effective electrical insulation between the conductor and the surrounding environment.
- Orange color coding: Enables quick, accurate size identification on the job site, minimizing selection errors during installation.
- 100-count package: Supplies sufficient quantity for large-scale wiring projects or ongoing professional use without frequent restocking.
