F4P Push-In Lever Wire Connectors - 24 -12 AWG, 2 to 5 Pole, Jar Packs

The F4P PILC lever connectors accept copper conductors from 24 AWG up to 12 AWG, and they take both solid and stranded wire. That range covers low-voltage control and fixture wiring at the small end through standard 12 AWG branch circuit conductors at the large end, so one connector handles most of what you run into on a light fixture or device box.

No tool needed. You strip the conductor, lift the lever, push the wire into the port, and close the lever. The connection is tool-free, which is the point of the lever design compared to twisting on a wire nut, and the lever means you can open it again and pull the conductor back out without cutting and re-stripping.

One conductor per pole. Two poles joins two wires (a straight fixture whip splice, hot to hot or neutral to neutral), three poles lets you pick up a switch leg or a downstream device from the same splice, and five poles handles a multi-fixture or multi-device home run where several conductors land on one point. The F4P PILC comes in 2, 3, and 5 pole.

Yes. Each F4P PILC connector has a built-in test port, so you can put a meter probe on the live conductor through the body while the splice stays made up. The housing is also clear, which lets you eyeball that each conductor is seated fully to the stop instead of guessing.

The F4P PILC push-in lever connectors carry UL and CSA certifications, which is what most inspectors and facility specs are looking for on a splice device in a US or Canadian install.

Count varies by pole size, since the bigger connectors take more room in the jar: 175 pieces in the 2-pole jar, 125 in the 3-pole jar, and 80 in the 5-pole jar. Jar packaging suits a service van or an MRO crib where you are pulling a handful at a time rather than opening a bagged count for one job.

Stranded is fine here. The F4P PILC is rated for both solid and stranded copper in the 24 to 12 AWG range, so you can land a stranded fixture whip and a solid branch circuit conductor in the same connector. That is the usual reason people reach for a lever connector over a twist-on, which can be fussy about mixing solid and stranded.

F4P publishes a datasheet for the PILC lever connector line covering the electrical ratings and dimensions in detail. It is available as a PDF and is the document to hand an engineer or inspector who wants the full listing data rather than a catalog summary.
