Popular Connectors Handle More Wire Sizes January 2004 Issue Published Date: January 13, 2004
The In-Sure push-in wire connectors have been re-designed to fit any combination of AWG 12 to 18 stranded copper and AWG 12 to 20 solid conductors. Future expansions of the line will include five-, six-, and eight-port models. Described as a timesaving alternative to twist-on connectors, the In-Sure components employ a push-in design that safely terminates conductors without twisting. Users just glide the wire in with a minimal amount of insertion force. Other features include a clear polycarbonate housing for visual verification, stainless steel inserts to restrict pullout, an electrolytic tin-plated copper bus system, an integral test port for voltage and continuity testing, and a built-in strip length gauge. Additionally, the connectors are UL listed, CSA certified, and rated to 600V and 105°C. IDEAL INDUSTRIES INC., Sycamore, IL. (800) 435-0705.
