What are wire connectors?
Let’s briefly define wire connectors: they are accessories used to connect cables, wires, and electronic devices, ensuring the proper functioning of electrical equipment.
Common types of wire connectors:
- Spring wire connectors: Wire connectors that utilize spring pressure technology make wiring very convenient and efficient.
- Quick wire connectors: This wire connector uses the lever principle; simply lift the handle to make the connection, requiring no tools.
- Plug wire connectors: The pluggable wire connectors facilitate future maintenance and modifications, saving a significant amount of time and labor costs.
- Push-in wire connectors: Simply insert the stripped wires directly into the push-in wire connector; no other steps are required. Even inexperienced users can learn how to use it easily.
- IDC wire connectors: The wire connector is designed for people who don’t have the right tools readily available. This type of wire connector doesn’t require wire strippers; simply insert the wire, and the internal blades will cut through the insulation, allowing for quick and easy connection.
How to properly use wire connectors?
Except for IDC wire connectors, all other wire connectors require stripping approximately 10mm/0.39 inches of insulation from the wires before connecting them.
1.Spring wire connectors:Press and hold the button, insert the stripped wire, and then release the button to complete the connection.
2.Quick wire connectors:Lift the lever, insert the stripped wire, lower the lever, and the connection is complete.
3.Plug wire connectors:The operation method is the same as with a quick wire connector; if you need to disconnect the power, simply unplug the plug wire connector.
4.Push-in wire connectors:Insert the stripped wire directly into the push-in wire connector until you hear a “click” sound, confirming that it is fully inserted.
5.IDC wire connectors:This wire connector allows for wire connections without stripping the wires. Open the connector, place the wires to be connected inside, close the cover, and gently press the cover with crimping pliers so that the internal blades cut through the wire insulation. On the other side, lift the lever, insert the stripped wire into the connector, close the lever, and the connection is complete.
Common errors and how to avoid them when using wire connectors：
Common Error 1:An unsuitable wire connector was chosen.
Solution：Select the wire connector based on the current, voltage, and type of equipment, avoiding choosing a wire connector that is too large or too small.
Common Error 2：Incorrect installation
Solution：Avoid using substandard tools or overtightening connections.
Application scenarios for wire connectors
1.Home Renovation and Lighting Circuits
2.Distribution box/switchboard
3.Internal connections of home appliances
4.PLC control cabinet and frequency converter cabinet
The core value of Wire Connector
Choosing the right wire connector can make your electrical connections more efficient. It allows for wire connections without requiring technical expertise, saving you significant labor costs.
The use of wire connectors makes the connection of each wire clear and easy to understand, simplifying future maintenance. If you have these needs, please contact us.
