Ideal 30-165 Twist-On Connector

The Ideal 30-165 is a purple twist-on wire connector designed for joining aluminium, copper and copper-clad aluminium conductors. It is sold in a pack of twenty-five pieces and carries UL and CSA certifications. The wing-style body uses a steel contact with a zinc finish and an antioxidant fill. It is intended for electrical wiring tasks up to 600 V.

Suited for standard residential

Electricians and installers making pigtails, fixture connections or branch-circuit splices within the stated wire-range will find this connector appropriate. The maximum operating temperature is 221 degrees F and the polypropylene insulation carries a UL 94 V-2 flammability rating. Buyers who need push-in or lever-actuated terminals, or who require a higher temperature rating, should consider other connector styles.

Handles two 18 AWG up to three 10 AWG conductors

The connector accepts a minimum combination of two 18 AWG wires and a maximum combination of three 10 AWG wires, with an overall limit of seven conductors. The antioxidant fill helps maintain contact integrity on aluminium conductors. Projects requiring larger gauge wire, more than seven conductors in a single nut, or a voltage rating above 600 V will exceed the capacity of this model.

Questions about this item

What wire gauges must I already have to use these purple 30-165 connectors?

They accept 12-10 AWG solid or stranded copper and aluminum conductors, with a minimum combination of two 18 AWG wires and a maximum of three 10 AWG wires.

Will these twist-on connectors work with the older aluminum branch wiring already in my house?

Yes, the zinc-plated steel contacts and antioxidant fill are rated for aluminum-to-copper and copper-clad-aluminum splices up to 600 V and 221 °F.

How can I confirm the connection is secure after twisting the connector onto the wires?

A firm mechanical grip with no exposed conductor, the wing fully seated, and continuity across the splice show the connector is installed correctly.
