Ideal 30-082 Ballast Disconnect 18AWG 2 Port Orange PK100

Ballast Disconnect for 18 AWG Wiring

This pack contains one hundred orange ballast disconnects rated for eighteen AWG solid copper wire on both the ballast and line sides. Each unit provides two ports per side with push-in plug-to-socket contacts made from tin-plated brass. The polycarbonate insulation houses two male and two female connections rated for three amps maximum current. The components measure six point one zero zero in length and are supplied new in bulk packaging.

Suited for lighting maintenance and retrofit work

Electricians replacing or servicing fluorescent ballasts will find the push-in design speeds up disconnect and reconnect tasks on eighteen AWG solid conductors. The colour-coded orange housing helps identify circuits in crowded junction boxes. Installers who work with stranded wire, larger gauge sizes or higher amperage loads should look at alternative connectors rated for those parameters.

Verify wire type and circuit rating before ordering

Confirm that the existing fixture uses eighteen AWG solid copper conductors on both the ballast and line sides. Ensure the circuit current does not exceed three amps and that the push-in contact style matches the socket and plug arrangement in the housing. The polycarbonate insulation must be compatible with the operating temperature of the luminaire.
