If you can see uninsulated copper at the base of the connector, the wires were stripped too long.

I've used these and they work great. Just remember to tug the wire after inserting it. That locks it in.

Looks like you skinned a little too much insulation off the neutral leads. You shouldn't see bare wire sticking out the rear of the connector.

These little doo-dads are great! I just used these and feel more confident using these than traditional wire nuts.

Thank you, make sure the cooper cannot be seen after inserted on back side.

I love those push connectors but I try not to strip more than about an half inch of expose copper just to make sure there's no exposed copper on top to cause Short Circuit

wow last image was narley lol
your cool dude just didnt expect the hair and beard colors

Looks like you stripped more than 1/2” of bare copper. You should never have bare wire exposed outside of the connector. A stripped length of 1/2” is the most important step.

Thanks, the first 45 seconds told me what I needed.

[RTarson]

That's a lot of bare copper sticking out

can I put a hot in and a feeder to a socket and then a hot going out all in a 3 port connector?

Thanks for the strategies you have shared here.

I have inserted 4 white and 4 blacks securely into their two connectors. The fourth ground wire will not go into the last opening in its opening in the connector. Is this connector defective. If so can I crack open that connector as I would rather not cut the line shorter.

thanks for this explanation.  appreciate it.

[stormbytes]

Really clear presentation. Very informative. Thank you!

If you strip a little too much wire after you insert in connectors , cover wire and insert part of connector with electrical tape .
Go to go !!!!

[paulct]

How do you remove them when making changes in the future?

[nathannero]

Do you have to use all the holes? If I have a 3 hole connecter can put two wires in?

[davebenner]

Can i use stranded wire with this connector?

[Tom-ycjv]

The package says that you can use solid or stranded wire, but it is a LIE!! Stranded wire will NOT go into these unless it is REALLY stiff. Even then you be hard pressed to get it all the way in without bending....
