Ideal 30-642 Wing Twist-on Wire Connector 2 Awg 250 Pack

Product Description

The IDEAL 30-642 is a wing-style twist-on wire connector rated for 600 volts and a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F. Built with a flame-retardant shell, it is designed for making secure, reliable wire terminations in branch circuit and fixture wiring applications. The wing ears allow fast, tool-free installation with increased hand torque, reducing installation time on large jobs. This connector accommodates wire as small as 2 AWG and is well suited for electricians working in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Each box contains 250 connectors.

The IDEAL 30-642 is used in general electrical wiring applications where a secure, code-compliant wire connection is required. It is appropriate for use in junction boxes, outlet boxes, fixture canopies, and panel rough-in work. The gray color coding helps electricians identify connector size at a glance on the job site. With UL Listed 486C and CSA certifications, this connector meets the requirements for use in installations governed by the National Electrical Code (NEC). It is a standard stocking item for electricians servicing residential and commercial construction projects.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any wire connections. Strip conductors to the recommended length, insert into the connector, and twist clockwise until the connection is firm and no bare copper is exposed at the connector base. Do not overtighten to the point of cracking the shell, and verify each connection has adequate mechanical retention before closing the box.
