Product Details

The Pico Wiring 2286PT is a vinyl-insulated step-down butt connector designed to join two wires of different gauges — specifically 8 AWG wire to 12-10 AWG wire — in a single reliable crimp connection. These connectors are ideal for automotive, truck, marine, and powersports wiring repairs where wire gauge transitions are required.

The connector features a red body with a yellow stripe color-coding system for quick identification: the yellow-striped end accepts the smaller 12-10 AWG wire, while the red end accepts the larger 8 AWG wire. This visual coding eliminates guesswork during installation and helps ensure proper wire insertion every time.

Key Features:

  • Step-down design joins two wires of different gauges in one connector
  • Wire gauges: 8 AWG (one end) to 12-10 AWG (other end)
  • Color coded: Red body with yellow stripe for easy gauge identification
  • Vinyl insulation provides durable protection and electrical insulation
  • Operating temperature: -67°F to 230°F (-55°C to 110°C)
  • Sold in a package of 15 connectors

Pico Wiring step-down butt connectors are a trusted choice for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts working on automotive electrical systems, trailer wiring, marine applications, and more.
