Twist-on wire connector

Twist-on wire connectors are a type of electrical connector used to fasten two or more low-voltage (or extra-low-voltage) electrical conductors. They are widely used in North America and several European countries in residential, commercial and industrial building power wiring, but have been banned in some other jurisdictions.

Twist-on connectors are also known as wire nuts, wire connectors, cone connectors, or thimble connectors. In Canada, the trade name Marrette (see ยง History) is commonly used generically for connectors of any brand.
