What Customers Are Saying
Customers are divided on this connector. Many praise the design for simplifying installations and appreciate the waterproof housing and screw-top security. However, a substantial portion report serious wire compatibility issues—16-gauge wire often fails to pierce properly, and 12 or 14-gauge wire won't fit despite claims. Reviewers also note alignment difficulties requiring precise wire positioning and durability concerns, with some reporting pin corrosion and breakage after one year. Despite these drawbacks, most satisfied customers highlight ease of use and reliable short-term performance.

Hello Bob and Thanks for your product review.
cable to fixture connector
Would RecommendI installed these to replace original Hampton Bay pressure clip connectors. When installed correctly with the proper gauge wiring I believe these screw-on connectors are much more reliable. I will be buying more!

Cable Doesn’t fit
