Ideal 30-146 Closed-End Crimp Connector

The Ideal 30-146 is a closed-end crimp connector designed for joining stranded wires in electrical installations. Each connector accepts a minimum combination of two 22 AWG wires up to a maximum of five 18 AWG wires. The pack contains one thousand units suitable for professional and industrial wiring tasks.

Check wire gauge and voltage before ordering

Verify that your application uses stranded wire between 22 AWG and 18 AWG and does not exceed the 600 V maximum rating. The connectors are pre-insulated with nylon and have an overall length of 0.73 in. They carry UL 486C listing and CSA C 22.2 #188 certification but are not RoHS compliant.

Suits installers needing bulk closed-end splices

This pack suits electricians and maintenance teams who require high-volume, nickel-finished steel connectors with a flared skirt to protect turned-back strands. It is not intended for solid-core wire, for voltages above 600 V, or for projects requiring RoHS-compliant components.

Questions about this item

Does the pack of 1000 include any crimp tool or do I need to buy one separately?

The pack contains only the 1000 closed-end crimp connectors; a compatible crimp tool for 22-18 AWG wire must be purchased separately.

Should I choose these 22-18 AWG connectors or a different size for my wiring job?

Select these when your combined stranded wires fall between two 22 AWG and five 18 AWG conductors; otherwise choose a connector rated for the specific gauge range you are using.

What does the 600 V rating mean when the connector is installed in a real circuit?

It means the nylon-insulated connector is UL 486C listed and CSA C22.2 #188 certified for continuous operation up to 600 volts at temperatures up to 221 °F.
