Some 50 years after 3M introduced the industry’s original
insulation displacement connector, 3M

Insulation
Displacement Connectors still offer the quick installation
and reliability that electricians and contractors demand. 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 35 different Scotchlok IDCs to
meet a variety of uses, including uorescent ballast
installation and replacement, xture and appliance wiring,
automotive and marine wiring and control circuit wiring.
Quick, reliable splices are a snap.
And a squeeze.
Scotchlok insulation displacement connectors (IDCs) are
easy to use and can 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).

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.
Contact grips conductor and holds with
a firm, resilient pressure.
