The push-in spring clamp mechanism accepts stripped wire without tools — insert the stripped wire end and the spring clamp locks it in place. The 1-in \/ multi-out design allows a single supply wire to be branched to 2, 3, 4, or 5 lighting fixtures without a junction box or wire nuts. Transparent housing allows visual verification of wire insertion. Compact size fits inside standard luminaire housings and junction boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPL Series Model Reference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSPL2:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 ports — inline connection or 2-way parallel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSPL3:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 ports — 1-in \/ 2-out (branch one supply to 2 loads)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSPL4:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 ports — 1-in \/ 3-out (branch one supply to 3 loads)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSPL5:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 ports — 1-in \/ 4-out (branch one supply to 4 loads)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5–2.5mm² (20–14AWG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24A per port\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 450V AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Push-in spring clamp (tool-free for solid wire)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transparent PA, flame retardant UL94 V-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e -30°C to +85°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPL vs Wago 221 — Quick Connector Comparison\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSPL (this product):\u003c\/strong\u003e Fixed-port parallel connector.

Crimp an insulated wire ferrule onto the stripped stranded wire end before insertion. Without ferrules, individual strands can escape the spring clamp area, reducing contact area and increasing resistance. Solid wire can be inserted directly without ferrules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I release a wire from an SPL connector?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsert a flat-blade screwdriver (2–3mm width) into the release slot adjacent to the wire entry port. Press inward to depress the spring clamp, then pull the wire out. Do not pull the wire without depressing the spring — this deforms the spring clamp and reduces clamping force for subsequent insertions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the maximum load for one SPL5?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPL5 has 5 ports (1-in \/ 4-out), branching one supply to 4 fixtures. Total current must not exceed 24A. For LED lighting at 230V: 24A × 230V = 5520W maximum total load. A typical 10W LED downlight draws 0.043A — an SPL5 can supply 4 fixtures with significant current headroom. The limiting factor is usually the supply wire ampacity, not the connector rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAre SPL connectors suitable for outdoor use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPL connectors are designed for indoor and protected enclosure use — not IP-rated for outdoor or wet environments. For outdoor lighting branch connections, use IP-rated junction boxes with screw clamp terminals, or Wago 221 connectors in IP68-rated enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLED lighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Branching LED driver outputs to multiple LED downlights and fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLuminaire wiring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal wiring connections inside light fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHVAC:\u003c\/strong\u003e Control wiring branch connections in air handling units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilding wiring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Junction box connections for lighting circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolar:\u003c\/strong\u003e DC wiring branch connections in indoor inverter installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPL quick wiring terminals (model as selected: SPL2\/3\/4\/5).
