Snap action blocks offer a seamless solution for quick wiring tasks without soldering, significantly simplifying the process compared to wire nuts. Reusable and crimper-free, they provide an efficient alternative for connecting free-hanging components.
This 3-to-3 wire block has three separate inputs and outputs, making connections straightforward with its intuitive color-coding system. Each of the red, yellow, and blue inputs matches the corresponding output, ensuring easy navigation.
Although perfect for wire splicing, other snap-action blocks are recommended for fan-outs. Each connector incorporates a metal block and levers that snap open and close, effortlessly accommodating stranded or solid-core wire ranging from 12 to 24 AWG.
Without the need for additional tools like screwdrivers or crimpers, these blocks provide convenience for free wiring projects. Marked to support up to 32A at 250V, they are designed for more modest applications. Ideal for maker projects, the recommended usage is up to 10A at 24V.
