It uses poke-in termination — strip the wire and push it into the contact spring, no crimp tool required. Tin-plated copper alloy contacts handle the current path. This is a semi-permanent splice or service-point connector rated for 10 mating cycles, not a repeatedly disconnected harness interface. ## Dual Current Rating: 3A and 8A — Which Applies? The spec table lists a current rating of 3A, 8A. This dual value likely reflects a per-contact limit (3A) versus a total connector limit (8A), or a derating based on wire gauge and ambient temperature. For a 2-position connector carrying 16 AWG at 25°C, the 8A total is plausible; at 22 AWG or elevated temperature, the 3A per-contact ceiling governs. The 600V voltage rating confirms this is built for mains-voltage lighting or appliance wiring, not low-voltage signal lines. Accepts 16-22 AWG solid or stranded wire. The poke-in termination means the stripped conductor inserts directly into the contact spring — the spring force holds the wire and makes the electrical connection. No separate crimp terminal to stock or tool to maintain. For field installation or low-volume harness builds, this saves a step. The 10 mating cycle limit means this is a set-and-forget splice; plan for it to stay mated for the life of the assembly.","metaTitle":"TE LIGHT-N-LOK 2834049-1, 2-Position Poke-In Receptacle","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity LIGHT-N-LOK 2834049-1 receptacle, 2 positions, 16-22 AWG, poke-in termination, 600V rated, tin contacts.
