Wire-to-Wire: Poke Home, Thru-Wire
Series 9286
Wire-to-Wire connectors have been used in the industrial market for years with traditional
2-Piece (plug and socket) connector systems which require crimp and poke wire
terminations to connect electrical or electronic components. In the general wiring market
(2-3 wires) there are a number of connector styles available, however, they are limited in
sizes, expanded wire gauges and the ability to reuse them when repair or replacement
is needed. Based on the existing success of “Poke Home” wire-to-board connectors,
AVX has developed a new family of wire-to-wire connectors to meet the cost, flexibility
and ease-of-use targets in industrial wiring applications.
The 9286 series of Thru-Wire connectors provides a high spring force Beryllium Copper
contact system that uses simple push button activation to insert and remove individual
stripped wires in the connection process. There is a forward and aft shrouded (to prevent
accidental activation) push button for each wire connection that can be operated
individually or simultaneously with a simple plastic tool or ball point pen tip. Up to eight
wires can be electrically connected in a single connector body which will support any
combination of wire gauges from 18AWG up to 26 AWG. Wires can be removed or
replaced up to 5 times so there is no need to replace the connector in a new installation.

(to prevent accidental activation) push button for each wire connection that can be
operated individually or simultaneously with a simple plastic tool or ball point pen tip. This
connector family has been designed to bring a single wire in and then have multiple
output (bus structure) wires of the same power or signal. Four, Six or Eight wires can be
electrically connected together in a single connector body which will support any
combination of wire gauges from 18AWG up to 26 AWG. Wires can be removed or
replaced up to 5 times so there is no need to replace the connector in a new installation.
