No Stripping. No Twisting. Just Snap & Squeeze. Done.

3M Scotchlok IDCs are easy to use and can help save time – to install one, just squeeze – no stripping or twisting. 3M unique “U” contact provides a dependable electrical connection.

  • A “live-spring” joint is made by driving the “U” contact down into connector
  • As the “U” contact is pressed into connector, it grasps conductors as it displaces insulation
  • The contact grips conductor(s) and holds with a firm, resilient pressure
  • 3M™ Scotchlok™ IDCs have a range of approvals and ratings that meet with industrial standards
  • 3M™ Scotchlok™ IDCs are used in a range of applications in automotive and marine wiring, lighting, security and control systems
