        NLS | Flat Cable Clips 12mm for 2.5mm Twin and Earth Cable | 5000 Pack Tub

        The NLS 30684 is a 12mm flat cable clip dimensioned for 2.5mm two core and earth flat cable, supplied in a tub of 5000 clips. Each clip combines an impact-resistant polyethylene body with a zinc plated hardened steel nail, pre-tapped into the clip body ready for installation. The 30684 covers the 12mm clip dimension within the National Light Sources cable clip range, which is also produced in 10mm and 14mm sizes.

        Fixing a full house of 2.5mm two core and earth to timber framing consumes clips faster than almost any other electrical consumable on the vehicle. Smaller packages empty partway through a rough-in, and work stops while somebody drives back to the wholesaler. The 5000-clip tub covers an entire domestic installation with capacity remaining, and the 12mm clip dimension corresponds to 2.5mm two core and earth, so the cable seats without compressing the insulation. Anti-droop insulation grips maintain the cable position overhead while the nail penetrates the timber.

        Bulk consumables are where installation margin quietly disappears, so purchasing clips by the tub reduces the individual clip cost and removes restocking interruptions. A single 30684 tub travels in the vehicle and supplies consecutive domestic rough-ins without reordering. Single-handed clip-on positioning keeps one hand available for the ladder or the cable while the other delivers the hammer. Stock control stays simple: one clip dimension covers every 2.5mm circuit on the job.

        Features

        • 12mm clip size — sized for 2.5mm two core and earth flat cable, so the 30684 seats the cable without pinching the insulation.
        • 5000 clips per tub — bulk quantity covers full domestic rough-ins and cuts mid-job restock trips.
        • Clip-on fitting — the clip takes the cable first, so the 30684 can be positioned and nailed single-handed.
        • Anti-droop insulation grips — hold the cable level in the clip before the nail is driven home.
        • Zinc plated hardened steel nail — drives into timber framing and resists bending under the hammer.
        • Tapped nail — the nail sits pre-seated in the clip body, so each clip comes out of the tub ready to drive.
        • Impact-resistant polyethylene body — takes a hammer strike without splitting around the nail shoulder.
        • Moulded cable grips — keep the cable held in the clip after fixing so runs stay level.
        • Reusable tub — the plastic tub reseals for storage on the van or the workshop bench.
        • Timber fixing only — the steel nail is intended for timber, so masonry, concrete and steel stud framing need a different fixing method.
        • Cable size specific — the 12mm clip suits 2.5mm two core and earth only, so 1.5mm and 4.0mm flat cable need their matching clip size.
        • 7.45kg packed weight — the filled tub weighs 7.450kg, which is worth knowing when loading the van or the store shelf.

        Where to use

        • Domestic rough-in — fixing 2.5mm two core and earth power circuits to timber studs, noggins and joists.
        • New build framing — running the 30684 through a timber-framed house before the linings go on.
        • Renovation rewires — refixing power circuits in exposed timber framing during a strip-out.
        • Roof space and subfloor runs — clipping cable to timber battens and bearers where the run needs to sit off the insulation.
        • Shed and garage wiring — surface runs on timber framing where conduit is not called for.
        • Service vehicle stock — one tub of the 30684 keeps the most used clip size on board for weeks of domestic work.
        • Workshop and maintenance benches — a resealable tub kept on hand for repair and alteration work on existing circuits.

        The 30684 is a nail-fixed clip intended for timber. It is not suitable for masonry, concrete or steel stud framing, where the hardened steel nail cannot achieve proper penetration. The 12mm clip is dimensioned for 2.5mm two core and earth only, so it will not retain 1.5mm or 4.0mm flat cable at the correct tension.

        "Clips for Days" — Ben

        (30398)

        It is designed for two 16mm² copper conductors, making it suitable for large-capacity joins in higher-load circuits.

        The connector is rated at 63A, allowing it to be used on demanding submains, switchboard feeds and other heavy-duty wiring tasks.

        Each conductor is secured by two deep slotted screws, providing a strong mechanical hold and improved contact stability.

        No, this connector is intended for copper conductors only.

        When joining 16 mm² conductors or when a 63 A-rated, robust mechanical connection is required, particularly in switchboards, submains and other heavy-load circuits.

        Yes, Sparky Direct stocks the NLS 30398 heavy-duty connector and provides quick, reliable shipping Australia-wide.

        NLS 2x16m connectors on 25 August 2019

        While the intended use of above is for the joining of 2x16m cables, the length of the contact screws does not allow for the multiple use where smaller cables are used.
