Description
Levers lift, the conductor drops in, levers press home: that is the whole of it. This is a small push in connector with five ways in a single clear housing, and it asks for no tools at all. Because the body is clear, a seated conductor stays visible from outside, so a join can be checked with a look rather than a tug. At 23mm across, it is compact enough to sit inside a ceiling rose or the base of a table lamp without filling the space. They arrive ten to a pack.
We keep a pack of these in the workshop drawer and reach for them whenever a light fitting needs its wiring brought together neatly: rewiring an old pendant, tidying the inside of a lamp, or bringing a run of low voltage strip back to a single point. They suit anyone who would rather not twist and tape, and they come apart again as easily as they go together, which makes later changes far less of a chore. It is one we would choose over a screw terminal block for sheer speed. Keep them to dry indoor rooms, away from damp, weather and dust.
The housing is moulded as a single clear piece with the levers set along the top, and there is nothing on it to tarnish or discolour, so the only upkeep worth mentioning is keeping spares clean and dry in their bag until they are wanted; a dry cloth sees off any dust. It carries a one year warranty. The same range gives us cable grips in clear and in black, lampholders and short IEC leads, so a small job can be finished with parts that match in feel.

Frequently Asked
How many conductors will one connector take?
It has five ways, so up to five conductors can be brought together in the same body.
How big is each connector?
Each one measures 32mm long, 23mm wide and 11mm high, and a single connector weighs very little, so it sits happily inside a rose or lamp base.
How many are in a pack?
They are supplied ten to a pack.
Can the levers be opened again once closed?
Yes. Lifting the lever releases the conductor, so a connector can be opened and reused if you change your mind about a join.
Is it suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
No. It is rated IP20 and belongs in dry indoor positions only, not in bathrooms, porches or anywhere exposed to weather.
How should the clear body be cleaned?
A dry cloth is enough for dust. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can craze or cloud a clear moulding.
