Ideal 30-1261J Twist-On Wire Connector 14 AWG Gray Orange

SKU CH-B6GK-KPZ3A

Twist-on wire connector joins up to four copper conductors from 20 to 14 AWG with a 600 V, 221 °F thermoplastic winged body

  • TypeElectrical Connectors
  • Connects up to four 14 AWG copper wires
  • Winged design gives strong grip for fast installation
  • Thermoplastic polyester shell withstands 221 °F continuous heat
  • UL 94 V-2 rated material resists flame spread
  • Certified to UL, CSA and CE safety standards

Ideal 30-1261J Wire Connector

The Ideal 30-1261J is a twist-on wire connector rated for copper conductors up to 14 AWG maximum. It accepts a minimum combination of two 20 AWG wires and a maximum combination of two 14 AWG wires with up to four conductors total. The wing-style design provides grip for hand installation in electrical boxes.

Silicone Fill and Thermoplastic Insulation

The connector uses a silicone fill material inside a thermoplastic polyester shell to insulate and protect the connection. Steel contacts with a zinc finish carry the current while the housing achieves a UL 94 V-2 flammability rating. It is UL Listed, CSA Certified and carries CE marking for compliance with applicable safety standards.

Suited for 600 V Residential Wiring

Electricians and DIYers making copper splices within the 20 AWG to 14 AWG range at up to 600 volts will find this connector appropriate. It is not suited for aluminium conductors, wire sizes larger than 14 AWG, or applications exceeding 221 degrees Fahrenheit operating temperature.

Questions about this item

When will the 14 AWG Gray Orange connector need replacement?

The UL 94 V-2 thermoplastic polyester housing and zinc-plated steel contacts are rated for continuous operation at 221 degrees F and 600 V, so replacement is only required if the connector shows discolouration, cracking or loose grip after prolonged thermal cycling.

What limit appears first during sustained use of the 30-1261J?

The 221 degrees F maximum operating temperature is the first boundary reached under continuous load; exceeding it degrades the silicone fill and V-2 rated insulation before the 600 V dielectric rating becomes a concern.

How much heat does the 14 AWG wing connector produce when running all day?

The connector itself generates negligible heat; it simply conducts the circuit current while its thermoplastic polyester shell and silicone fill remain stable up to the rated 221 degrees F ambient limit.
