Ideal 30-1160 Twist-On Wire Connector Gray 10 AWG

SKU CH-C595-FRQ10

Twist-on connector joins up to five copper wires from 20 AWG to 10 AWG, rated 600 V and 221 °F with UL and CSA approval

  • Product typeElectrical Connectors
  • Twist-on design speeds up copper wire splicing
  • Gray color codes 10 AWG maximum conductor size
  • UL 486G listed and CSA certified for 600 V circuits
  • V-2 flammability rated thermoplastic withstands 221 °F
  • Silicone fill suits underground and damp locations

Twist-On Wire Connector 10 AWG

The IDEAL 30-1160 is a gray twist-on wire connector rated for a maximum of 10 AWG conductors. It accepts copper wires from 20 AWG up to a combination of one 10 AWG with two 12 AWG. The connector is UL Listed, CSA Certified and meets CE standards for electrical installations.

Upgrade from smaller connectors

This model replaces connectors limited to smaller gauge combinations such as 18 AWG or 12 AWG only. The jump is worthwhile when joining larger conductors up to 10 AWG or when a single connector must accommodate up to five conductors. Its 600 V rating and 221 °F temperature limit support standard residential and light commercial circuits.

Suits electricians and DIY wiring

It suits electricians and DIYers making splices in junction boxes, lighting fixtures or underground-rated enclosures where silicone-filled, thermoplastic connectors are specified. Buyers needing connectors for aluminum conductors, higher voltage ratings or non-silicone fill materials should look at alternatives.

Questions about this item

What wire gauges can the gray 30-1160 connector accept?

The connector handles a minimum combination of one 20 AWG with one 18 AWG and a maximum combination of one 10 AWG with two 12 AWG conductors, up to five conductors total.

How do you install the 30-1160 twist-on connector, and what step is often missed?

Strip each copper conductor, align the ends, push them into the connector, and twist clockwise until tight; the step often missed is verifying that no bare wire remains visible outside the thermoplastic shell.

When should the 30-1160 connector be replaced?

Replace the connector if the thermoplastic body shows cracking or discoloration from heat above 221 degrees F, if the internal steel contacts are corroded, or after any circuit fault that may have stressed the 600 V rating.
