Push in wire connectors are insulated wire connectors used in electrical systems, including commercial and residential lighting, digital signage and other building electrical systems. They are used to replace traditional screw in connectors or terminal nuts. This connector type is not only easy to use, can realize quick connection, but also usually has easy to identify color coding. These simple push-in wire connectors are designed for ease of use. Most push-in wire connectors do not require special tools. The installer only needs to insert the end of the wire into the port or slot of the connector terminal.
Push in wire connectors are usually self-locking, with internal spring clips to secure the stripped wire, although some versions use external locking mechanisms (such as levers or clips) to secure. They have one or more ports, and each port can only use one wire. To disconnect, just twist and pull the wire. These connectors can be reused with solid (non stranded) wires of the same size or smaller.
Push in wire connectors are a variant of early mechanical connectors and are suitable for bare wires, such as terminal blocks, screw in connectors and wire connector connectors. At present, the innovation of push-in wire connectors focuses on color coding and materials, such as color coding or transparent polycarbonate materials, so that the installer can visually confirm the correct connection. The new compact shape helps simplify the installation.
