3M Scotchlok Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDCs)
Some 50 years after 3M introduced the industry’s original insulation displacement connector,
3M Scotchlok Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDCs) still offer the quick installation and reliability
that electricians and contractors demand. Scotchlok IDCs also incorporate a full wire range capability,
an increased port size that accommodates up to 0.190" (4.82mm) insulation sizes, double “U” elements
and a solvent-resistant plastic construction. Choose from 20 different Scotchlok IDCs to meet a
variety of uses, including fluorescent ballast installation and replacement, fixture and appliance wiring,
automotive and marine wiring and control circuit wiring.
No stripping. No twisting. Just a snap and squeeze and done.
Scotchlok IDCs are easy to use and can help save time—to install one, just squeeze—no stripping or
twisting. Our unique “U” contact provides a dependable electrical connection.
Many Scotchlok IDCs are either UL-Listed (file No. E23458) or CSA-Certified (file No. LR 15503).
UL Listed and CSA Certified products have a voltage rating of 600V maximum for building wire,
1000V maximum for signs or lighting fixtures (luminaries).
3M Scotchlok
Crimping Tool E-9Y
Proven splicing technology
designed for your specific
applications.
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.
