Spend the time and a little extra money and or effort and do it right.Įver try and trace down a troublesome power source from erratic behavior or no power at all when something like this is used? If you have - you won't every use one again. The looseness can, and often will, cause erratic electrical contact and often sparks, overheating, and yes - even a fire. These things are notorious for gently slicing into a wire and making surface contact with the copper wire - but not attaching really securely. a shot, I will use my present solder and wire nut and tape method.įrom looking at the blown up photo of the thing - there is absolutely 'no way' I would use one. I too have problems getting those 12 volt connectors to work all the time.Īt over $5. Kenwood TS-2000, ICOM ID-5100, ID-51A+2, ID-880 REF030C most timesĪ plastic box with cover would cost less. So today I was running my AC for an hour and a half (It's hot in there) one of the things plugged inside the coach is a Kill-a-watt set to measure volts 117.x went up to 122 when I killed the ACĢ005 Damon Intruder 377 Alas declared a total lossĪfter a semi 'nicked' it. When I'm here at home my MH is plugged into a 20 amp line, 12ga UF wire, around 70 feet from the box to the post outlet. Can't say I'll buy any (no $$$) but I'll look at 'em There is some debate whether it can be used on residential but the general consensus is it can.

This defiantly meets code for manufactured housing, mobile homes and RVs. I can give you more specific information then. All I said was, 'If they work like 12v connectors.' The 12v connectors are junk and I never use them. These approvals are mandatory throughout the U.S.'

OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) accredits testing organizations under their Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory Program (NRTL) to test and approve products for use in the workplace. CSA is now accredited by OSHA as an NRTL. # Modular connector kit eliminates the need for junction boxes, wire nut fittings and coversįrom a Google search: 'CSA One-Stop North American Certification. # Use with Romex 14/2 and 12/2 AWG with ground cable 'the NEC does not approve anything and I saw no reference to UL which has the approval authority, bee careful.'įrom a Google search: 'The National Electrical Code (NEC), or NFPA 70, is a United States standard for the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment.'Īccording to the package, it meets these standards. These sound great since they are good up to 20 AMP when one needs another receptacle like we could use in the electrical bin. No thanks, I'll continue to make wire splices the tried and true method - per my state's electrical code.

I would expect those you speak of to be the same. The 12VDC in-line wire taps are junk, they cause ever so many problems.(ever had electric brake problems?) Under high current draw they have high resistance in the tiny contact area. The NEC does not approve anything and I saw no reference to UL which has the approval authority, bee careful. If it works like the 12v connectors, a pair of pliers should do it. JohnI don't recall any tools being mentioned on the outside of the package. Any info on what tools you heed to put it on? They should solve a lot of problems in RV electrical work. The connectors made by AMP and can be found in the electrical department at Ace Hardware and no doubt, other stores as well. It is NEC approved and it eliminates the need for a junction box. There is now available a connector which allows you to splice into an existing 12 or 14 gauge Romex cable without cutting the insulation or the wire.
