Red B-Twist Connector for Copper Wire

This Buchanan BT2-1 connector joins solid or stranded copper conductors from 18 AWG up to 8 AWG. The red polypropylene shell holds up to six wires and is rated for 600 volts maximum. It is designed for electrical and industrial wiring tasks where a secure twist-on connection is required. UL listed and CSA certified with a UL 94 V-2 flammability rating.

Voltage and Temperature Limits

The connector operates at a maximum of 600 volts and withstands temperatures up to 221 degrees Fahrenheit. These ratings define the safe electrical and thermal envelope for the installation. Exceeding either limit can compromise the connection integrity. The steel contact material and polypropylene insulation are tested to meet these specific boundaries.

18 to 8 AWG Wire Range Decides Fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the conductor size range of 18 AWG minimum to 8 AWG maximum. Minimum combination requires two 18 AWG wires while maximum combination accepts two 8 AWG wires. If your conductors fall outside this range, this connector will not provide a code-compliant connection.
