BT2-500JR Red Wing Connector

The Buchanan BT2-500JR is a red twist-on wire connector designed for copper conductors. It accepts wire sizes from 18 AWG to 8 AWG with a maximum of six conductors. The wing style provides leverage for secure hand installation in electrical boxes and automotive wiring. Rated for 600 volts and 221 degrees F maximum operating temperature.

Suitable for standard copper splicing

Electricians and technicians joining copper wires in residential, commercial or automotive circuits will find the connector matches common gauge ranges. The UL listed and CSA certified design meets code requirements for general splicing. Installers needing aluminium wire compatibility or a higher temperature rating should look at alternative connector types.

18-8 AWG range with six-conductor capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the wire combination range: minimum two 18 AWG up to maximum two 8 AWG, with a hard limit of six conductors total. Exceeding either the gauge limits or the conductor count voids the listing and risks connection failure. Verify your wire count and gauge against these limits before purchase.
