Milwaukee, WI - HellermannTyton has introduced its HelaCon Plus push-in connector with a double-spring design, billed as as alternative to traditional twist-wire connectors for electrical and original equipment manufacturer applications.

According to the company, the HelaCon Plus connector is an efficient substitute to twist-on wire connectors because it is able to join any combination of solid and stranded wire through its individual pole slots within the same housing unit. The company says the connector's double-spring technology delivers safe, reliable and simple wire connections. The first spring allows for low insertion force, and the second secures the firm connection with a significantly higher retention value. The company says the connector offers an affordable and ergonomically-friendly alternative for completing routine wire termination tasks.

Billed as a safer, more dependable connector with a 24A maximum current rating, and UL listed approval up to 600 volts for building wire and 1000 volts for fixtures and signs, the HelaCon Plus connector also has multiple in-line port options for greater flexibility and future expansion.
