Thomas & Betts 31P – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What temperature can the Thomas & Betts 31P wire connector handle?
The 31P twist-on connector is rated 302 degrees F / 150 degrees C. That is the rating of the phenolic external cap, which is what makes it suitable for fixture whips, recessed cans, heaters and other hot junction work where a standard wire nut would soften or discolor.
2) Is the 31P high temperature wire connector rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes, the 31P carries a 600V rating, so it covers standard commercial and residential branch circuit work as well as fixture and control wiring inside that limit.
3) Can I use the 31P for the fixture connection inside a recessed can or a ballast compartment?
That is what it is built for. With a 150 degree C cap rating and a 600V rating, the 31P handles the heat inside luminaire junction boxes, ballast and driver compartments, and heating equipment enclosures, where standard connectors are typically limited to lower temperatures.
4) How many 31P connectors come in a box, and how many in a case?
The 31P ships 100 per inner box and 1,000 per outer case. The case measures 8.6 x 7 x 5.4 inches and 1,000 pieces weigh 1.25 lbs, so it is easy to stock on a van or in a shop bin.
5) Will the 31P connector corrode in a damp or high heat fixture box?
The internal spring on the 31P is copper coated to resist corrosion, and the cap is a rugged phenolic thermoplastic polymer body rather than a soft vinyl shell. That combination is aimed at hot, long-service connections where an uncoated spring would degrade.
6) Do I need to pre-twist the wires before installing a 31P connector?
No. The 31P uses an internal round spring that multiplies the twist-on torque through leverage and wedge action, crushing the conductors into a solid joint as you turn the cap. Strip clean, align the conductor ends, and drive the connector on until the wires twist together behind the cap.
7) What color is the 31P connector, and how do I tell it apart from standard wire nuts on the job?
Black. Standard-temperature twist-on connectors are usually color coded by size in tan, blue, orange, yellow or red, so the black phenolic cap on the 31P makes the high-temperature connections easy to identify later during service or inspection.
