Review: Great item! - These are great for homes that have old aluminum wiring. The twister have penatrox inside, so no mess! Review: A total must with the new light fixtures - I am an electrical and lighting engineer. Most new light fixtures use aluminum instead of the traditional copper which is used in existing houses. Why you ask? Aluminum is cheaper. BUT that complicates things & the importance of this wire-nut cannot be overstated. When you have the termination of two different materials you need to use the proper protection. This wire-nut emits a clear coat onto the wiring to ensure arcing doesn’t happen. Very cool device, while a bit pricier, well worth the piece of mind to make sure that new light fixture you’re installing doesn’t burn down the house ☺️ ## Features - AL/CU CONNECTIONS: Supports aluminum-to-copper and copper-to-copper applications from #18 to #10 AWG wire — do not use on aluminum-to-aluminum connections - RETROFIT APPLICATIONS: Perfect for retrofitting older residential buildings with this one-time use connector - CORROSION RESISTANCE: Prevents oxidation of aluminum conductors with pre-filled antioxidant compound - PROTECTIVE SKIRT: Extended opening keeps the antioxidant compound inside while increasing dielectric strength - SECURE CONNECTIONS: UL-Listed to 486C and CSA-Certified to C22.2 #188 for aluminum-to-copper connections up to 600V, as well as the only twist-on solution to comply with NEC Section #110-14 (b) - HIGH-LEVERAGE WINGS: Engineered for twisting action with comfortable wings, reducing your hand strain - LIVE-ACTION SPRING: Installs smoothly with a spring that expands and contracts with the aluminum wiring, delivering superior hold strength and quick take-up - IMPACT STRENGTH: Durable copolymer shell withstands grabbing and pulling from tools - PACKAGE INCLUDES: Box of 100 Twister Al/Cu electrical wire connectors ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015W0ARTQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #23,051 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #33 in Electrical Cam-Type Connectors | | Brand Name | Ideal Industries | | Color | Purple | | Connector Type | Twist-on | | Contact Material | Copper/Aluminum | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 491 Reviews | | Insulation Material | Polypropylene | | Insulation Material Type | Polypropylene | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7"L x 6"W x 4"H | | Item Weight | 0.95 Pounds | | Manufacturer | IDEAL Electrical | | Material | Alloy Steel, Plastic | | Material Type | Alloy Steel, Plastic | | Maximum Voltage | 600 Volts (AC) | | Model | 30-265 | | Number of Items | 100 | | Part Number | 30-265 | | Stud Size | #10 | | Temperature Rating | 105 C | | Terminal | Twist-on | | UPC | 783250302659 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Color:** Purple - **Connector Type:** Twist-on - **Contact Material:** Copper/Aluminum - **Insulation Material:** Polypropylene - **Terminal:** Twist-on ## Images ![Ideal Electrical Twister Al/Cu Purple Wire Connector (30-265), Box of 100 — Aluminum-to-Copper Twist-On Wire Nuts with Antioxidant Filler - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GNB3kpmZL.jpg) ![Ideal Electrical Twister Al/Cu Purple Wire Connector (30-265), Box of 100 — Aluminum-to-Copper Twist-On Wire Nuts with Antioxidant Filler - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61OsIwm5TGL.jpg) ![Ideal Electrical Twister Al/Cu Purple Wire Connector (30-265), Box of 100 — Aluminum-to-Copper Twist-On Wire Nuts with Antioxidant Filler - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wM5oPnXHL.jpg) ![Ideal Electrical Twister Al/Cu Purple Wire Connector (30-265), Box of 100 — Aluminum-to-Copper Twist-On Wire Nuts with Antioxidant Filler - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81goGSOa7cL.jpg) ![Ideal Electrical Twister Al/Cu Purple Wire Connector (30-265), Box of 100 — Aluminum-to-Copper Twist-On Wire Nuts with Antioxidant Filler - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61T7XzZqLoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I use this wire conector for wire #12** A: Absolutely.
