Brass Brads

Our 1/8" brads are some of the smallest in the world. When folded corners in a tape run are not desired these small, precisely made brads provide a very unobtrusive and effective means of establishing electrical connection. Their small size permits usage on even the thinnest of wood walls and nearly disappear from view when pounded into a conductive tape run. Measure approximately 1/8" by .024".

The 1/4" brads are made of solid brass and may be used for dozens of electrical and woodworking projects!

These also measure approximately .024" in diameter. Included in each CK1003 outlet and CK1011 switch package.

Small Hollow Eyelets

These hollow eyelets provide an easy and convenient alternative to the "brass bradding" of tape runs. Their larger size and ease of handling greatly simplifies the electrical connection process. They may be used as a substitute for 1/8" brass brads in almost all applications. To install, first make a starter hole using either our No. 55 drill bit or the CK1044 Awl. Next, place the eyelet in the hole and push in for a quick and absolutely positive electrical connection.

For MDF material type dollhouses, these eyelets are the ideal interconnection method.

Eyelets are brass and measure approximately 1/8" long with an inside diameter of .044" and outside diameter of .056". Packaged in quantities of 20 and 110. Illustrated instructions included in each package.

CK1023-2 Large Hollow Eyelets (20 pak)

Most imported lamps come equipped with a larger but not to scale Hong Kong type plug. For those not wishing to discard this plug, our CK1023-2 eyelets provide a simple alternative. First, using the plug attached to the lamp as a guide, mark two holes on the tape run. Then, using either the CK1044 Awl or a No. 52 drill bit, make two starter holes and insert eyelets. The lamp plug may now be directly inserted, making for an attractively flush and easy to install outlet.

Eyelets are brass and measure approximately 3/16" long with an inside diameter of .054" and outside diameter of .071". Packaged in quantities of 20. Illustrated instructions in package.

CK1023-6 Spring Loaded Eyelets (2 pak)

These eyelets are included with all fixture adapters and CK1011 switches.
They firmly grasp the plugged in device and hold it firmly to the ceiling or wall. Test have shown them capable of supporting chandeliers in excess of four ounces. (Most chandeliers weigh in at less than an ounce.)

CK1045 #0 Wood Screws (20 pak)

These small threaded wood screws are designed primarily to hold the CK1007 Junction Splice in place but are also useful in any miniature project requiring small fasteners. The screws are approximately 7/16" long and .060" in diameter.

CK1102 Flanged Spade Lugs, Insulated (6 pak)

The CK1102 spade lugs may be attached to a wide range of 18-24 gauge wire sizes and used for connecting wires either to transformer or terminal block screws. Designed for both crimping and soldering to stripped wires.

CK1031 Headless Pins

These pins are an integral part of the CK104 wiring kit and are used during the wiring process as electrical standoffs and connection points between wiring runs. They are also used with the CK1028 and CK1028-1 Adapter Cords.

Pins are made of solid brass and measure approximately 1/2" in length by .032" in diameter. Solder when used with tapewire for best electrical contact.

CK1031

Terminal Blocks

Use these heavy-duty terminal blocks for interconnecting wires of all sizes. Electrical connection exists between opposite screw terminals and one or more wires may be attached to each screw terminal.
The three different sizes have respective lengths of 1-1/2", 2-1/4" and 3". CK1049 is a two-pole terminal block, CK1049-1 a four-pole terminal block and CK1049-2 a six-pole terminal block.

CK1049-3 Two Pole Pound-in Terminal Block

The CK1049-3 allows for a quick and easy wire connection to any double conductor tape run. Simply place the protruding pins over the respective copper foils, pound in, and an electrical circuit is automatically made between the screw terminals and copper conductors. Attach wires to the screw terminals to complete the wire to tape connection. Measures 1-3/8" long by 5/8" wide. Wood mounting screws included.

CK1049-3

CK1049-4 Terminal Block Jumpers

A convenient method of joining terminal block screws together. These jumpers eliminate the need for running wires between screws when fan-out of incoming wires is desired. Design allows easy installation and removal.
