The 1-2363638-2: It uses a poke-in termination — strip the wire, push it in, no crimp tool needed — and mounts to a panel for a fixed installation. The housing is black PBT, rated IP66 for dust-tight and water-resistant duty, which means it handles rain, hose-down, and dusty enclosures without sealing boots or potting.
Rated 1.5 A per circuit, this is a signal-level or low-power LED interconnect — not for bus-level current. The 18-20 AWG wire range accepts standard building wire or stranded lighting cable; the poke-in terminal holds the conductor with a spring clip, so stranded wire needs a ferrule for consistent retention. The IP66 seal is the standout feature: it lets the connector live in a junction box on a wall or under a canopy without a secondary enclosure.
