Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are screw connectors used for?
They’re used to join electrical wires securely using a metal terminal and a screw clamp—commonly found in lighting, control gear, switchboards, and general wiring.

Are screw connectors reusable?
Yes. One of the key benefits of screw connectors is that they can be reused—ideal for temporary installations or iterative projects.

Can screw connectors be used outdoors?
Only if placed in weatherproof enclosures. Screw connectors themselves are not IP-rated and must be protected from moisture and dust.

Do they work with both solid and stranded wire?
Yes, screw terminals are suitable for both solid core and stranded conductors, making them highly versatile across applications.

Are screw connectors compliant with Australian standards?
While the connectors themselves may not carry specific certifications, they are widely used in installations that comply with AS/NZS 3000 and other relevant standards when correctly installed.
