2. Twist-on wire connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist-on_wire_connector

   Twist-on wire connectors are a type of electrical connector used to fasten two or more low-voltage (or extra-low-voltage) electrical conductors. They are widely used in North America and several European countries in residential, commercial and industrial building power wiring, but have been banned in some other jurisdictions.

3. Junction box - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junction_box

   A small metal, plastic or fiberglass junction box may form part of an electrical conduit or thermoplastic-sheathed cable (TPS) wiring system in a building. If designed for surface mounting, it is used mostly in ceilings, concrete or concealed behind an access panel—particularly in domestic or commercial buildings [2].

4. Electrical connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_connector

   The connection may be removable (as for portable equipment), require a tool for assembly and removal, or serve as a permanent electrical joint between two points. [2] An adapter can be used to join dissimilar connectors. Most electrical connectors have a gender – i.e. the male component, called a plug, connects to the female component, or socket.

5. Electrical conduit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conduit

   Box connectors join conduit to a junction box or other electrical box. A typical box connector is inserted into a knockout in a junction box, with the threaded end then being secured with a ring (called a lock nut ) from within the box, as a bolt would be secured by a nut.

6. Screw terminal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_terminal

   Two paired screw terminals, typically used for connecting ceiling-mounted light fixtures. Screw terminals are used extensively in building wiring for the distribution of electricity - connecting electrical outlets, luminaires and switches to the mains, and for directly connecting major appliances such as clothes dryers and ovens drawing in excess of 15 amperes.

7. Camlock (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camlock_(electrical)

   Originally a trade name as Cam-Lok, it is now a generic term. [2] Each camlock connector carries a single phase, pole, or conductor; multiple camlock connectors will be used to make a complete electrical supply or circuit. The most common form is the 16 series, rated at 400 amperes with 105 °C terminations.
