Overview

This one-piece connector accommodates wire ranges from four #18 AWG wires to two #12 AWG wires, with a total circular mil area (CMA) range of 6,480 to 14,750. The internally beveled barrel design enables quick and effortless wire insertion without requiring twisting or taping, reducing installation time and labor costs. The copper sleeve is tin-plated for corrosion resistance and optimal conductivity. The RC55 features a butted seam construction for a low-profile design, ideal for space-constrained installations. With dimensions of 0.95 inches in length and 0.43 inches in width, it integrates seamlessly into compact wiring systems. The white color coding aids in quick identification and organization within electrical panels or junction boxes. Compatible with stranded and solid copper wires, the RC55 supports a variety of wire combinations, including 4x#18, 3x#18, 2x#18, 1x#18 + 2x#16, and 2x#12. The recommended wire strip length is 1/2 inch for optimal crimping performance. Installation requires tools such as the WT2130A, WT-2000, or air tools (90 PSI) with die 11960 for the RC series. Each standard package contains 50 units, with larger quantities available for bulk orders. Its durable construction and ease of use make it a cost-effective solution for professionals seeking reliable wire termination.
