Wire Connectors for Copper Wiring

The Ideal 73B orange twist-on connectors join solid copper conductors in residential and light-commercial circuits. Each nut accepts combinations from one 18 AWG with one 20 AWG up to two 14 AWG wires, with a maximum of five conductors per connection. Rated for 600 volts and a 221 °F operating limit, they suit lighting, signage and general fixture wiring.

Zinc-Plated Steel Contacts and V-2 Rating

Steel contacts with a zinc finish resist corrosion while the UL 94 V-2 shell material self-extinguishes in a fire test. The standard twist-on style requires no special tools, so electricians and competent DIYers can make secure joints quickly. Certified to UL 486C and CSA C22.2 No. 188, the connectors meet North American safety requirements for wire connectors.

Bulk Pack of 300 Units

A single package supplies 300 pieces, keeping job sites and service vans stocked for multiple rough-in or retrofit tasks. No fill material is used, so the connector interior stays clear for easy wire insertion. The bulk count reduces reorder frequency for contractors who run repeated lighting or sign installations.
