Wire Connector · 18-14 AWG Copper · Orange Twist-On, Tub of 500 · IDEAL 30-3C3
What this product is for
The IDEAL 30-3C3 is a Canadian WireTwist twist-on wire connector for joining 18-14 AWG solid or stranded copper conductors. The orange connector body and tub-of-500 packaging make it a practical choice for electricians handling repeated branch-circuit and fixture splicing work.
Use for
Use for copper conductor splices in residential, commercial, and maintenance work where a twist-on connector is preferred. Common applications include luminaire leads, switch boxes, receptacle boxes, and general branch-circuit terminations within the listed wire range.
Avoid for
Avoid using this connector on aluminium conductors, mixed copper/aluminium connections, or conductor combinations outside the listed range. Do not use where a different connector style, larger wire range, or special environmental rating is required.
Best for
Best for contractors and maintenance teams that want a stocked, colour-coded wire nut for common small-gauge copper splices. The 500-count tub suits service vehicles, shop inventory, and repetitive installation work where fast identification and consistent application matter.
Installed in
Typically installed in device boxes, junction boxes, luminaires, signs, and enclosed wiring compartments in dry locations, subject to applicable Canadian Electrical Code requirements and the connector's listing.
Why this product exists
This connector exists to provide a fast mechanical and electrical splice for common copper branch-circuit conductors without moving to a larger wire nut than necessary. For trade use, smaller correctly sized connectors can also help manage box fill compared with oversized connectors, depending on conductor count and box layout.
Compared with similar products
Compared with larger yellow or red twist-on connectors, this orange model is intended for smaller wire combinations in the 18-14 AWG range. It is a better fit when the splice does not require the wider capacity of larger connectors, helping avoid over-sizing on lighter branch and fixture work.
