12 Pcs 2 Pin 2 Way Universal Compact No-Wire-Stripping Toolless Spring Wire Connectors, Quick Splice Universal Wire Wiring Connector for AWG 2024

Worked great

Need a connection to wire up some lights on a motorcycle

These connectors work great. They are exactly what I needed. However, they will not work with traditional, multistrand 18 AWG wire. The insulation is too thick to allow insertion in the holes. Although the text description clearly states “for AWG 20-24”, the first illustration says “Fits 24/18 wire”. Perhaps for 18 AWG, that only applies solid wire since that insulation tends to be thin.I needed a way to temporarily disconnect a dual 18 AWG cable. So, I used 20 AWG wire spliced to the 18 AWG, used the connectors and then 20 AWG spliced back to the 18 AWG. Since the current is only 200 mA, the voltage drop is negligible. I am satisfied that this work-around is functioning just fine.Some reviews complained that these connectors are not reusable. That is by design. These are intended to be permanently connected to the wire so that the connectors themselves serve as a removable plug.One needs to be careful when inserting the wire so that it is not crooked inside the connector before squeezing it closed during installation. Otherwise, the electrical connection will not be there. It is a good idea to confirm the integrity of the installation before using the connectors.

So using these with 22awg stranded.Listed to work with 20-24, so s/b g2g.First one I used, used my finger nail to lift the clamping clear cover, and the nub that locks it down , broke off, so the clamping clear cover wont stay snapped shut.Moved on to another and was very careful to use a tiny screw driver to be sure to lift the lip away from the nub, than up.Used two to make a connection, and neither would make a connection that was not intermittent.Tried several times.. nope, and the clamping clear cover needed some pressure from pliers to get it down and lock onto the nub, which it did.Just couldn't get it to happen. I've used all sorts of IDC (insulation displacement connectors) , and these just didn't work.I like the idea, the size and such, really wanted them to work for these small connections..But nope, big waste of nine bux.

Good-Using their brand 18 AWG wire, slide it in and I used pliers to close it up. VERY easy and quick. No strippingSmall size for projects with space constraints. Basically takes up no more room than the 18 AWG wire itselfUniversal, you can't end up with more males or females, they are universal. Any two plug into each otherSnap together tight, holds together wellBadNot much really, should use their silicone wire if 18 awg is used, they say. It's nice wire with reasonably tough yet flexible insulation and pricing is ok.Testing of capacity using their 18 AWG silicone wires and DC bench supply with dummy load.Cut four 2" each pieces of wire and inserted them into two of their connectors (universal connectors, either can act as female or male)15A load (under 5 min connect time) - Can take it, connector and wires run hot but no damage over short periods (5% voltage drop over the pair).10A (rated amps) - runs hot but can finger pinch the connector tight indefinitely (3% voltage drop)8A - runs warm, you know it's loaded down and if you didn't know it was ok, might be concerning6A - runs slightly warm (2.5% voltage loss) but feels normal

The media could not be loaded. As you can see they work. But the negative is the thing is extremely fragile. Just a slight movement from the crimp set up it does not hold. You can see my charger went from green…meaning not in use and once it turned red it is charging the battery the connector is connected to.

It's a great idea and looks to be well made but like a few of the others have responded, I was not able to get a consistently stable connection with 24 gauge stranded.I ended up having to fold the end of my conductor in half and push a loop through the hole so the very tip of the wire was actually back outside of the hole.Effectively there was a conductor stacked on top of a conductor for it to apply enough pressure to hold it properly.I tried different approaches multiple times, both insulated and uninsulated and had to throw several away before I came up with this stacking concept that ended up working for me.I have not tried larger wire sizes

Remember Adaptaplugs? Arguably one of Radio Shack's best products: Pick your power supply, pick the tip you need, and you're back in business! While you can still get them at their website (and here on Amazon), they're still a tad pricey. What if you already have the power supply and connector you need, just not on the same cord? Enter these connectors. If you're willing to do a little work, you can make your own set of plugs to work with whatever you need. In my case, I have a nice 12V 8A power supply I use for testing, and these connectors let me create a set of plugs I can use on various devices - I no longer have to look for a power supply with the right connector and enough juice.
