Snap-action 5-Wire Block Connector (12-24 AWG) - Pack of 3

These are like the fancy electronics equivalent of the wire nuts electricians use to bind wires together. They are a lot easier to use as well! Each block connector has a metal block inside and five levers that snap open and close to bind stranded/solid-core wire.
