FAQs
Can I use these connectors with stranded wire?
These specific connectors are designed for solid core wires up to 4mm². Using them with stranded wire may result in a poor or unsafe connection. Consult the product documentation for specific compatibility with stranded wire if available for other variants.
Do I need to lift the lever for solid wires?
No, for solid wires, you do not need to lift the lever. Simply push the stripped solid wire directly into the port until it is fully seated.
What is the maximum current rating for these connectors?
These connectors are rated for a maximum of 32 Amps (32A).
What is the maximum wire size these connectors can accept?
They can accept solid core wires up to 4mm².
Are these connectors reusable?
For optimal security and safety, these connectors are designed for single-use. Once wires are inserted and the connection is made, they should not be removed and reinserted.
What types of applications are these connectors suitable for?
They are suitable for a wide range of applications up to 32A, including connecting lighting, power outlets, junction boxes, and extending existing circuits with solid core wiring.
Troubleshooting
Wire will not insert into the connector
Ensure the wire is solid core, stripped to the correct length, and is not bent or damaged. Verify the wire size does not exceed 4mm².
Connection feels loose
Ensure the wire is fully seated and that the lever (if used) is completely closed. Do not reuse connectors that have already had wires inserted and removed.
Connector does not hold wires after installation
Check that the correct wire type (solid core) and size (up to 4mm²) are being used. The connector may have been previously used or damaged; replace with a new connector.
Overheating during use
Verify the circuit load does not exceed the connector's 32A rating. Ensure all connections are secure and that the correct wire gauge is used. Check for any damage to the connector.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure power to the circuit is completely off.
- Strip the end of each solid core wire to the appropriate length (refer to connector markings or insulation type).
- For solid wires, simply push the stripped end into the connector port until it is fully seated. The lever does not need to be lifted for solid wires.
- For applications requiring lever operation, lift the lever, insert the wire, and close the lever.
- Test the connection for security by gently tugging each wire.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with solid core copper conductors up to 4mm².
- Designed for use in applications up to 32A.
- Suitable for general electrical wiring, including lighting, sockets, and junctions.
Care:
- These connectors are single-use for optimal connection security and should not be reused after wires have been inserted.
- Store in a dry environment away from extreme temperatures and moisture.
- Clean exterior with a dry cloth if necessary. Do not use solvents or liquids.
