Achieve fast, reliable, and tool-free wire connections with our P2 Blue Spiral Spring Crimping Caps. This 20-pack of twist-on connectors is an essential component for any LED lighting installation, DIY electronics project, or general low-voltage wiring task. Designed to accommodate a versatile range of wire sizes from 14 to 22 AWG, these caps provide a secure electrical splice without the need for crimping tools or soldering. The internal conical spring bites into the conductors for a firm, vibration-resistant grip, while the durable thermoplastic shell ensures excellent electrical insulation. Whether you're connecting pigtails from single color LED strip lights or wiring a new fixture, these quick splice connectors offer a simple and effective solution for a professional finish.
Features a simple twist-on design that allows for quick and easy wire splicing without any special tools.
A live-action conical spring expands to accept wires and then tightens for a secure, high-contact, vibration-proof connection.
Versatile P2 size is rated for a combination of solid or stranded wires from 14 AWG to 22 AWG.
The tough, flame-retardant thermoplastic shell provides excellent electrical insulation and protects the connection from physical contact.
Supplied in a pack of 20, providing ample connectors for multiple small projects or a single larger installation.

Q: What does the P2 size designation mean?
A:P2 refers to a standard size for wire nut connectors, suitable for smaller gauge wires commonly found in lighting and electronics, specifically the 14-22 AWG range.
Q: Can I use these for both solid and stranded wire?
A:Yes, these spiral spring connectors are designed to work effectively with both solid and stranded copper wires, or a combination of the two.
Q: How many wires can I safely connect with one cap?
A:The number of wires depends on their gauge. For example, a P2 connector can typically hold two to three 18 AWG wires or up to four 22 AWG wires. Always ensure the connection is tight and secure.
Q: Do I need to pre-twist the wires before using the connector?
A:While not required as the internal spring is designed to twist the wires, pre-twisting them slightly can make it easier to insert them into the cap, especially when connecting multiple wires.
Q: Are these connectors waterproof?
A:No, these are standard connectors designed for use in dry, indoor environments. For outdoor or wet applications, you would need to use appropriate waterproof wire connectors.
Q: Can I use these for household AC wiring (120V/240V)?
A:These connectors are rated for up to 300V. While technically suitable for some AC applications, they are primarily used for low-voltage DC projects. Always consult and adhere to your local electrical codes for line voltage work.
