1. Introduction
The PCT Connection Series represents the latest generation of compact splicing wire connectors designed to simplify electrical wiring, ensure long-term reliability, and improve installation efficiency. These connectors eliminate the need for traditional twisting, crimping, or soldering methods, offering a clean, safe, and tool-free solution for both professional electricians and DIY users.
Developed with precision engineering, the PCT Series features a transparent housing, lever-operated terminals, and a highly conductive copper alloy interface. This documentation provides comprehensive technical details, including materials, specifications, installation processes, and performance testing results.
2. Design Overview
The PCT connector is built on a modular design concept. Each unit contains a conductor housing, spring clamp mechanism, and lever lock system. The compact geometry allows dense wiring in confined spaces while maintaining accessibility and flexibility.
- Transparent Housing: Enables visual inspection of the wire position.
- Lever Mechanism: Provides quick open/close operation without tools.
- Spring Clamp: Ensures stable electrical contact under vibration or temperature change.
3. Material Composition
Each PCT connector is composed of high-performance polymers and metal alloys designed for durability and fire resistance:
- Housing: Flame-retardant polycarbonate (UL94 V-0)
- Conductor: Tin-plated copper alloy for maximum conductivity
- Lever: Reinforced nylon PA66
- Spring: Stainless steel for mechanical stability
All materials comply with RoHS and REACH directives, ensuring environmental safety and minimal carbon footprint during production.
