We used these in the electrical trade so, naturally, when I used all of mine up doing stuff around the house it was an easy go-to for ordering more. They're slightly higher price but well worth the premium. The threads bite and hold the wire inside every time w/o fail. Some of the cheaper ones can sometimes not bite well enough and could lead to issues that you'll need to track down later (at best). The wings on the sides allow you to get better torque to twist wires together for more positive connectivity. The insulation skirt is great for providing that little bit of extra safety buffer to the exposed wires inside. I wish all items I buy had this obvious of a front runner in terms of quality products. This is one of those items that, if you never try anything else, you won't know how great they are because they just work every time and stay where you put them. Once you use inferior wire nuts, you'll understand the value of these. Is it possible to be in love with a wire nut? lol Review: Great wire nuts - These wire nuts are fantastic. What I like about them the most is they are small, first off but they fit a wide range of wire sizes unlike your typical small wire nuts that on work or small wire. The rubber shield around the bottom of the nut is a nice touch too especially when using with 12-14 AWG wires. Great product. ## Features - Strong biting spring: For a secure, reliable and long-lasting connection in all your pigtail applications - Uniquely flexible spring that has generous room for expansion into greater wire range and reuse - Dual color coded orange/blue: One connector does the job of two traditional connectors in the majority of applications - UL Listed for 600 volts on with copper wire only and 1000 volts maximum in signs and lighting fixtures (luminaries) - Wire range: 22-8 AWG for solid and/or stranded copper conductors - Flexible skirt helps prevent copper exposure for enhanced safety ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00G4RWLEG | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,682 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #5 in IDC Electrical Terminals | | Brand Name | 3M | | Color | Orange/Blue | | Connector Type | Spring | | Contact Material | Spring Steel | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (662) | | Gauge | 8.0 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00054007431534 | | Included Components | 500 Orange/Blue Connectors | | Insulation Material Type | Polypropylene and thermoplastic elastomer | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.3"L x 3.7"W x 8"H | | Item Type Name | 3M PERFORMANCE PLUS WIRE CONNECTOR O/B+JUG, 500 PER JUG | | Manufacturer | 3M | | Material Type | Plastic | | Maximum Voltage | 1000 Volts | | Model | 80611454531 | | Stud Size | #6-32 or #8-32 | | Temperature Rating | 221 F | | Terminal | Copper | | UPC | 054007431534 | | Unit Count | 500.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Color:** Orange/Blue - **Connector Type:** Spring - **Contact Material:** Spring Steel - **Insulation Material:** Polypropylene and thermoplastic elastomer - **Terminal:** Copper ## Images ![Performance Plus Wire Connector, O/B+JUG, Orange/Blue, Flexible Steel Spring Connectors, Twist On, CSA Certified, UL Listed, Jug of 500, 22-12 AWG - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71H8V-qrmgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many connectors are there? 100 or 1000? I can see it says 100 per box and 1000 per case, but I don't know that price it's for one box, or one case** A: I bought the box of 100 connectors for $12. **Q: is this presentation of 10000 pcs?** A: The ad's that are $927.71 from Petrean Solutions are for 10,000 pieces. The ad that is $58.28 is not ours so I can not say if that's for 10,000 or not. **Q: Work for a 10 and a 12?** A: no, it is not rated for 10ga, largest is 12, you should look for the r/y+ **Q: Are these water proof, or at least weather resistent? I want to use to splice wires for landscape lighting** A: There are not rated water resistant, but I use them outside in fixtures where they are protected from water. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easily the Best Wire Nut/Connectors Made. 10/10 *by J***. on April 23, 2024* Professional grade.

Is it possible to be in love with a wire nut? lol ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great wire nuts *by T***N on January 22, 2026* These wire nuts are fantastic. What I like about them the most is they are small, first off but they fit a wide range of wire sizes unlike your typical small wire nuts that on work or small wire. The rubber shield around the bottom of the nut is a nice touch too especially when using with 12-14 AWG wires. Great product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love these nuts *by S***R on February 8, 2017* I had bought a container of 1000 of these wire nuts years ago and have used them extensively in my job of heating and cooling repair. I love these nuts. :D They work very well with many different sizes and types of wire from stranded 10 gauge to solid 22 gauge and any mix thereof. They hold tight and grip well and the blue rubber skirt gives extra protection against shorting and electrocution. They easily screw onto various sizes of wires and come off again cleanly if needed. Made by 3M so the expected quality is there and they hold up well in all climates from 112ΒΊ to -10ΒΊ, from the blistering sun to the damp crawl space under an 80 year old 3 bedroom. When I started to run out a couple of months ago I went looking for more only to find that I could not buy them anywhere local. Was facing the prospect of having to use those inferior cheap plastic wire nuts that I have come to hate for their ability to rip the small wires in two under their caps and their equally frustrating ability to not screw onto the big wires no matter how hard I tried to get them to "take". Went looking online for these wire nuts and found them on Amazon. Bought two boxes hoping they were the same quality wire nuts that I had bought nearly a decade ago and waited for them to arrive. Two days later I received them and opened the box, I was elated to discover that yes, they are the same product that I have come to love and that the price was reasonable for such a fine piece of workmanship. Don't laugh, you cannot understand what its like to crawl under a house at 2 am on Christmas eve, dragging your tool bag behind you as you inch your way towards the non-functional furnace that is sitting 40 feet away from the entrance, only to discover that the crappy wire nuts you have in your tool bag will not screw onto the wires and now you have to crawl back out for more and redo it all again. Let me just say that I have probably invented a few new words as I made that trek. Long story short, these wire nuts from 3M just work. I will be buying a few more boxes. ## Frequently Bought Together - 3M Performance Plus Wire Connector, O/B+JUG, Orange/Blue, Flexible Steel Spring Connectors, Twist On, CSA Certified, UL Listed, Jug of 500, 22-12 AWG - 3M Performance Plus Wire Connector T/R+POUCH, Tan/Red, Flexible Steel Spring Connectors, Copper, CSA Certified, UL Listed, Pouch of 100, 22-8 AWG - 3M Performance Plus Wire Connector, Flexible Steel Spring Connectors, 22-8 AWG, Red and Yellow Color (R/Y+), Bag of 100 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/33443966-performance-plus-wire-connector-o-b-jug-orange-blue-flexible](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/33443966-performance-plus-wire-connector-o-b-jug-orange-blue-flexible) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
