IDEAL Electrical™, a leading manufacturer of tools and supplies for professional electricians, is pleased to expand its trusted Twister® Pro wire connector family with the new Twister® ProFLEX™ MAX and Twister® ProFLEX™ PLUS. Since receiving the first-ever U.S. wire connector in 1929, IDEAL® has been at the forefront of industry innovation. These two new additions to the Twister Pro family continue that proven legacy by delivering maximum versatility, speed, and comfort.

Introducing the Versatile Twister Proflex Plus
The Twister ProFLEX PLUS is the second new addition to the ProFLEX family. This tan-and-yellow connector boasts the widest wire range of any tan/yellow connector on the market.

The Features of the Twister Pro Wire Connector Family
The new connectors maintain all the popular features of the existing Twister Pro family. Each twist-on connector is engineered with a patented SureGrip™ overmold and high-leverage wings for enhanced torque and comfort during installation. The waxed, open-coil spring ensures the connector grabs quickly and tightens smoothly, while the UL 94 V-2 flame-retardant shell provides extra security. Every ProFLEX connector also includes a flexible skirt that adds extra protection and ensures a better fit in tight electrical boxes. The connector family is perfect for countless wiring situations, such as wiring a 3-way switch.
