Can these be used outdoors for low voltage application? Are screws stainless steel?

Yes they can be used for outdoor applications. The screws are not stainless steel but are made out of steel with a coating that I'm certain was made to prevent it from rusting. I've seen them used extensively outdoors and should last several years.

I'm using these items on the interior of my home. They are not stainless steel. I haven't tried it on the exterior.

If you are using them for an exterior light monitored by the computer the answer is most likely not, unless you add a load resistor kit like this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00H8RLEHQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1422507167&sr;=8-4π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&dpPl;=1&dpID;=31PHc7lmVvL&ref;=plSrchThe LED does not draw enough current by itself for the computer to detect. They should work fine in a non-monitored application.

The wire jacket has the code SJT stamped on it. S=stranded wire, J=300v jacket rating & T=Thermal plastic insulation. It does not have W so they are not rated for outdoor use. You need a wire with the letter W in it. Examples are SJW, SJTW, SJOOW. With all that being said, if the plugs were in a protected location out of the rain & sun I believe they would hold up well.

Yes they can handle higher voltage but I would not go much higher than 12 volts higher voltage might ark and burn out .you don't know how large the contacts are and how far thay open apart.

Bob, I think any electrical component with the contacts exposed to the weather would not be suitable to be used outside. You would have to use parts specially designed for outside use.

Hi I don't know I did not use them outside. I used them indoors (closets). I think you might not want to chance outdoors because these run on batteries. Hope this information helps

Hi Becky, I have not used for outdoor use so I am not sure. Follow the maximum wattage and maximum voltage for your fixture, it should work unless it is exposed to the elements, rain, etc. or go back to your fixture company customer service, ask them for help.

Don't know. Never tried. They look medium security, high weather durability to me. I use them on my two battery boxes (lead-acid, solar, indoor), generator shed (outdoor), generator fuel storage shed (outdoor), yard gate (outdoors), and wiring box (outdoors).

Sure! Low heat, low power draw. They are great. Mostly plastic though, so not TOO sturdy if someone dropped or stepped on them. Mine are permanent mount and still going strong.

I cannot answer for certain, however the box indicates they are "weather resistant" and "for outdoor use". All I can really attest to is that I have been very happy with all Kreg products I have purchased and have not reason to doubt their claim. I would give them a shot, I don't think you will be disappointed. Note Kreg SML-C2B-250 Blue-Kote Weather Resistant Pocket Hole Screws. Advertised as being even more corrosion resistant.

I am not certain if the screws are stainless. I would only assume that they are to be weather resistant. My 6 chairs have withstood a very damp Michigan summer and heavy men, so I am pleased with the construction materials. I did, however, stain and seal them after assembly. As for the warranty, not sure either. I hold on to all receipts for 1 yr and contact the manufacturer with concerns. Hope this helps.

There are copper point to solder to. They are marked with - and +. Don't worry they are tuff and easy to work with. I bought 2 and wired them in parallel and put them in full sunlight and did not get nowhere near 500mAh with both. It should have been at 1 amp or 1000 mAh. They are sitting right now. I will use them but I thought I must have wired them wrong because there was such little power.

They work outside with low voltage, however, in my situation,they are protected from direct contact with water. I suspect they would still work for low voltage lighting, even if they were occasionally wet

There is no indication either way. I do use mine out of doors. I have wraped the connections with suitable weather proof outdoor tape. Have had no problems in over a year of use.

They are standard metal screws: probably stainless, they don't look dull like galvanized hardware. I live in the desert; the screws and wood are holding up quite well.

I cannot say...I am using them outside connected to a receiver. They work well and can handle the outside elements.

I suspect the voltage is fine .... Just have to check the configuration.... Lowes/ Menards have usually have both the welder and Rv cables to check
