FAQs
Can I use these connectors with stranded wire?
These connectors are primarily designed for solid wire. Using stranded wire may result in a poor connection or failure to secure.
What is the maximum amperage these connectors can handle?
The Ideal Industries 32A 2 Port Lever Connector is rated for applications up to 32A.
How do I perform a continuity test?
Insert the probe of your multimeter or continuity tester into the designated test port on the connector. Ensure the power to the circuit is off before testing.
What is the maximum wire size these connectors accept?
They can accommodate solid wires up to 4mm².
Are these connectors reusable?
While the lever can be opened, these connectors are intended for permanent installations and repeated opening/closing may compromise the connection integrity.
What types of circuits are these connectors suitable for?
They are suitable for general applications up to 32A, including lighting circuits, access control systems, and radial or final ring circuits.
Troubleshooting
Connector not holding wire securely
Ensure the wire is stripped to the correct length and fully inserted into the port before closing the lever. Verify the wire gauge does not exceed 4mm².
Continuity test fails
Check that the wire is properly seated within the connector and that the lever is fully closed. Ensure the probe is making good contact with the test port.
Lever is difficult to close
Confirm that the wire is fully inserted. If using stranded wire, these connectors may not be suitable. Check for any obstructions in the port.
