3M Scotchlok 314
3M Scotchlok 314 IDC Pigtail Electrical Connectors are self-stripping, flame-retardant and moisture-resistant. These 3M Insulation Displacement Connectors or IDCs simply snap shut without stripping or twisting the wire and feature a unique ‘U’ contact that provides a quick and dependable electrical connection.
Users are able to provide a quick and dependable connection for two or three 0.5 mm² to 1.5 mm² wire ends with 3M Scotchlok 314 IDC Connectors – the Scotchlok connectors are compatible with the 3M Electrical range of Scotchcast cable joints.
A live spring joint is made by driving the U contact down into the connector. As the U contact is pressed into the connector, it grasps the conductors as it displaces insulation.
