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.

Would RecommendWe have been installing low voltage lights in our landscaping company for years and have never found an easier connector to use than this one.
Connectors do not work
Would Not RecommendThese connectors are not for universal application. They do not work with popular Malibu brand low voltage fixtures because the connector is designed for thick cable and fixture wires. The contacts are short and and stubby and do not pierce through the insulation enough to contact the copper wire. Neither the cable nor fixture wire fit snuggly into the wire grooves.
Did not work for me
Would Not RecommendI bought these to replace 2 flimsy connectors that came with a Portfolio light. This product is very sturdy. But, I could not get these to make the connection with my 12 AWG cable. The spikes are too short. I tried removing some plastic from the cable, but still no luck. I purchased the simple Mailbu connectors from another store. They did the job.
