The user interface is difficult. In fact, I have 30+ years of experience in low voltage security installations, have used similar connectors in the past, and am also This type of connector is hard to insert the "through" wire. The metal tab is meant to penetrate the insulation, however, there is no penetration as the tab bends instead. It's better to choose a connector that is hinged, and you can open it up so that the wire can pass through instead of having to struggle with a screwdriver to open the space wide enough for the wire to fit.
It is difficult for users to use this connector because it is constructed incorrectly. The first photo demonstrates what I mean. I'd like to suggest that you carefully examine this product. The end that's supposed to be closed can be seen right through and dead-ended. The metal crimper should be just past the end of the cord. In the example above, you can clearly see it doesn't. Also there is a lack of separation between the first and second channel, creating the possibility of both wires crossing paths and missing the slot in the insulation stripper/connector, which may cause them to get mashed or cut and be unable to make electrical contact. It is difficult to hold the wire in place when it comes out of the end, making the connection more difficult .
As an example, these are the connectors I replaced with the second and third photos. On one side, a pass-through is clearly visible on the other side, a closed end is visible. The hole should be large enough to fit the spliced wire. An additional feature of this connector is a window you can open to see if your second wire has been inserted I am returning these connectors because they are badly molded and I have never seen anything like it before.
I like the fact that the price is affordable. I had purchased the 3M versions at three times the cost for a project where I could not have any connection issues. Although I couldn't use the blue 3M version on copper wire stranded 14 ga, I could use it on 10 ga copper wire. Although I knew that it would be a tight fit, I felt that the smaller 18ga wire for the landscape lights might not be able to connect with the 12ga wire. It was easy enough to use but closed when I tried to close it. Those cases are different the covers snapped right off. I'm just going to cut it off, it's not that big of a Liquid electrical tape and silicone tape should be used to seal the entire connection.
In order to put it into the groove, one must wedge the clip open a bit. The metal blade that is supposed to be cutting into the insulation to make contact has a habit of just You can save yourself the headache if you purchase ones with hinges (so that they open easily for inserting through wires). It is not worth it to save a couple of bucks on these cheap units.
There are plenty of junk items out there that are While I've seen other reviews to this effect, I decided to take a chance since I wanted to save money. That wasn't worth it in any way. It appears that maybe one in three jumps the wire when used this way. It was a source of frustration throughout the course of my project, as I can't justify the hassle of packing their return since I don't have a nearby Kohl's or UPS drop off, so I am simply discarding them.
This is a handy tool around the garage when you need to splice wires. You can also use this in place of a wire nut when in a tight space or when the wire nut has a tendency to fall Getting this bag of connectors in such a large quantity is an excellent deal.
The packaging and shipment of bulk products The product is of poor quality. Despite the fact that it wasn't all that exciting, I picked out this product versus several others that were similar primarily because it appeared to include an organizer. This is not a bulk package. it was too flimsy for me to get it through the cable to splice, so I am sending it.
This year, we get a brand new pre-lit Christmas tree. Garage was not something I wanted to do). Fortunately, I was able to wrap the wires in flex tubing as well to protect them from the rest of the wire. I am extremely satisfied with the ease of use and the ease of use of the system!.
