Poke-Home – Thru-Wire: WTW
00-9286
Wire-to-Wire connectors have been used in the industrial market for years with traditional
2-Piece (plug and socket) connector systems which require crimp and poke wire
terminations to connect electrical or electronic components. In the general wiring market
(2-3 wires) there are a number of connector styles available, however, they are limited in
sizes, expanded wire gauges and the ability to reuse them when repair or replacement
is needed. Based on the existing success of “Poke-Home” wire-to-board connectors,
AVX has developed a new family of wire-to-wire connectors to meet the cost, flexibility
and ease-of-use targets in industrial wiring applications.
The 9286 series of Thru-Wire connectors provides a high spring force Beryllium Copper
contact system that uses simple push button activation to insert and remove individual
stripped wires in the connection process. There is a forward and aft shrouded (to prevent
accidental activation) push button for each wire connection that can be operated
individually or simultaneously with a simple plastic tool or ball point pen tip. Up to eight
wires can be electrically connected in a single connector body which will support any
combination of wire gauges from 18AWG up to 26 AWG. Wires can be removed or
replaced up to 5 times so there is no need to replace the connector in a new installation.

Wire-to-Wire (WTW) connectors have been used in the industrial market for
years with traditional 2-Piece (plug & socket) connector systems. These require
crimp and poke wire terminations to connect discrete wires together. While these
provide repeated pluggability and latching, they are often size and cost
prohibited in applications where the wires may only need to be replaced once or
twice during their life.
The reduced 9286-200 series of thru wire connectors expands on the already
proven 9286 poke-home discrete WTW family of connectors, but in a smaller
package size. The development of an active stainless steel spring contact
eliminates the need for push button activation to insert and remove wires which
offers a significant cost savings. The mechanical properties of this contact
provide maximum wire retention across a broad range of solid and stranded wire
gauges, making this connector very versatile in field installations.

Poke-Home – Junction Box: WTW

Wire-to-Wire connectors have been used in the industrial market for years with traditional
2-Piece (plug and socket) connector systems which require crimp and poke wire
terminations to connect electrical or electronic components. In the general wiring market
(2-3 wires) there are a number of connector styles available, however, they are limited in
sizes, expanded wire gauges and the ability to reuse them when repair or replacement
is needed. Based on the existing success of “Poke-Home” wire-to-board connectors,
AVX has developed a new family of wire-to-wire connectors to meet the cost, flexibility
and ease-of-use targets in industrial wiring applications.
The 9286 series of Junction Box connectors provide a high spring force Beryllium
Copper contact system that uses simple push button activation to insert and remove
individual stripped wires in the connection process. There is a forward and aft shrouded
(to prevent accidental activation) push button for each wire connection that can be
operated individually or simultaneously with a simple plastic tool or ball point pen tip. This
connector family has been designed to bring a single wire in and then have multiple
output (bus structure) wires of the same power or signal. Four, Six or Eight wires can be
electrically connected together in a single connector body which will support any
combination of wire gauges from 18AWG up to 26 AWG. Wires can be removed or
replaced up to 5 times so there is no need to replace the connector in a new installation.

Wire-to-Wire (WTW) connectors have been used in the industrial market for
years with traditional 2-Piece (plug & socket) connector systems. These require
crimp and poke wire terminations to connect discrete wires together. While these
provide repeated pluggability and latching, they are often size and cost
prohibited in applications where the wires may only need to be replaced once or
twice during their life.
The reduced 9286-250 series of junction connectors expands on the already
proven 9286 poke-home discrete WTW family of connectors, but in a smaller
package size. Junction box connectors electrically connect each of the inserted
wires together, similar to a branch or splitter application but with multiple
outputs. The development of an active stainless steel spring contact eliminates
the need for push button activation to insert and remove wires which offers a
significant cost savings. The mechanical properties of this contact provide
maximum wire retention across a broad range of solid and stranded wire
gauges, making this connector very versatile in field installations.
