Pico Wiring 2286PT Step-Down Butt Connector 8 AWG to 12-10 AWG Red/Yellow Stripe 15-Pack

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.
