3M 7010318552 Wire Connector Yellow 18-12 Awg

Product Description

The 3M 7010318552 is a yellow twist-on wire connector designed for fast, reliable splicing of solid or stranded copper conductors in the 18 to 12 AWG range. Sold individually, this connector is rated for 600 volts in standard wiring applications and up to 1000 volts in sign and lighting fixture installations. The color-coded yellow shell helps electricians quickly match the correct connector to wire gauge without measuring. The shell material is rated to withstand temperatures up to 221 degrees F (105 degrees C), making it suitable for a wide range of service environments.

This connector is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work wherever wire splices or terminal connections are required inside junction boxes, panels, fixtures, and device boxes. It is equally effective with solid or stranded wire, making it a versatile choice for branch circuit wiring, fixture hookups, low-voltage control wiring, and general electrical splicing tasks performed by licensed electricians and qualified installers.
