Preface This is the harmonized CSA Group and UL standard for Electrical Quick-Connect Terminals . It is the Fourth edition of CSA C22.2 No. 153 and the Tenth edition of UL 310. This edition of CSA C22.2 No. 153 supersedes the previous edition published in 2014. This edition of UL 310 supersedes the previous edition published October 17, 2014. This harmonized standard was prepared by the CSA Group and ULSE. The efforts and support of the CANENA Technical Harmonization Subcommittee 99, Electrical Quick-Connect Terminals, are gratefully acknowledged. This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. This Standard was reviewed by the CSA Integrated Committee on Electrical Connectors, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Wiring Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the CSA Technical Committee. This Standard has been developed in compliance with the Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. This Standard was reviewed by UL’s Standards Technical Committee (TC) for Electrical Quick-Connect Terminals, TC 310. Scope 1.1 This standard applies to quick-connect terminals, both connectors and tabs, having nominal widths of 2.8, 3.2, 4.8, 5.2, and 6.3 mm (0.110, 0.125, 0.187, 0.205, and 0.250 in). They are intended for internal wiring connections in electrical equipment and for the field termination of conductors to electrical equipment in accordance with Part I of the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, in Canada, and the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, in the United States of America. 1.2 These requirements apply to quick-connect terminals intended for use with one or two 26 – 10 AWG (0.13 - 5.3 mm2) copper conductors. 1.3 These requirements do not apply to terminals for use with aluminum conductors. 1.4 These requirements do not apply to multi-pole devices. Multi-pole devices are covered by UL 1977 and CSA C22.2 No. 182.3. 1.5 In Canada, general requirements applicable to this standard are given in CSA C22.2 No. 0.
