Reduced Junction Box Connectors 18-24 AWG: 9286-250 General Information Wire-to-Wire (WTW) connectors have been used in the industrial market for years with traditional 2-Piece (plug & socket) connector systems. These require crimp and poke wire terminations to connect discrete wires together. While these provide repeated pluggability and latching, they are often size and cost prohibited in applications where the wires may only need to be replaced once or twice during their life. The reduced 9286-250 series of junction connectors expands on the already proven 9286 poke-home discrete WTW family of connectors, but in a smaller package size. Junction box connectors electrically connect each of the inserted wires together, similar to a branch or splitter application but with multiple outputs. The development of an active stainless steel spring contact eliminates the need for push button activation to insert and remove wires which offers a significant cost savings. The mechanical properties of this contact provide maximum wire retention across a broad range of solid and stranded wire gauges, making this connector very versatile in field installations. FEATURES AND BENEFITS APPLICATIONS Industrial Machine Controls motors, drives, solenoids, Simple strip and poke-home wire insertion with twist and pull wire extraction sensors, fans, pumps, etc... High spring force stainless steel contact maximizes cost, strength and Commercial Buildings controls, security, fire and sensors flexibility Smart Grid meters, breakers and panels Accepts 18-24 AWG solid and stranded wires SSL/LED fixtures, signage and streetlights Expanded size offering to allow up to 8 wires to be connected together Application notes refer to 201-01-172 ELECTRICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MECHANICAL Voltage Rating: 300 VAC Operating Temperature: Insulator Material Glass-Filled Nylon 46 UL94V0 Current Rating: See matrix below -40C to +130C Fixed Contact Material Copper Alloy Flexing Contact Stainless Steel Fixed Contact Plating Tin over Nickel Durability 5 Cycles HOW TO ORDER 00 9286 00X 253 X X 06 Prefix Series Number of Ways Wire Size Insulator Color Internal Wire Plating Option Standard 06 = Tin All Over Stop and UL No of Accepted Max Code Type Details Code DIM.
