Snap action blocks are perfect when you have to quickly wire up a bunch of free-hanging components, and you don't want to solder. They're much easier to use than wire nuts, and of course, they are reusable and do not require any crimping!
These are 1 to 1 wire blocks: there is one separate input and one output. Great for basic power or signal splicing. These individual blocks can be snapped together side-by-side, to make wider distribution blocks. Of course each block is still electrically isolated, but they can make for neater wiring.
Each block connector has a metal block inside and levers that snap open and close to bind stranded/solid-core wire from 12 AWG down to 24 AWG. No screwdrivers or crimpers required, making them super handy for free wiring. Each block is marked to handle up to 32A at 250V, but we haven't tested them at such high power uses - we're selling them for maker projects that would be 10A at 24V max.
Comes in a pack of five.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

AWG
American Wire Gauge is a numbering system for wire thickness, where a lower number means a thicker wire. The AWG rating matters because thicker wire can usually carry more current with less voltage drop and heating.
