Sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference, which is why making a plastic bag thicker and more durable is so important. 3M Electrical Spring Connectors 312 (yellow) and 512 (red), 500 count, are being sold in new bags that are designed to stand on their own and are resealable. This makes it easy to grab a single connector at a time and not end up with a couple hundred on the floor around your feet. Look for this eye-catching, new packaging at your electrical distributor.

3M Electrical Spring Connectors 312, “yellows,” and 3M Electrical Spring Connectors 512 “reds,” are designed for speed and efficiency. They spin on quickly and tighten down easily. The live inner spring action delivers uniform holding power. Yellows accommodate 5-7 #22 wires, 3-6 #20, 2-6 #18, 2-6 #16, 1-4 #14, and 1-3 #12 AWG. Reds can handle 2-10 #18, 2-7 #16, 1-6 #14, 1-5 #12, 1-3 #10, 1-2 #8, 1 #6 AWG. 3M continues to make these connectors in the USA.
