The 3M™ Scotchlok™ 314 IDC connector is self-stripping, flame retardant and moisture resistant, with a unique "U" contact that provides a fast and reliable electrical connection.
The 3M™ Scotchlok™ connector is suitable for connecting solid or stranded conductors in installation wiring applications. With a cross-section range of 0.5 to 1.5 square millimetres, it enables a through-connection on uncut conductors. The Scotchlok™ connector can withstand a maximum voltage of up to 600 volts and a temperature limit of 105 °C. It can be used in control, measurement and regulation applications as well as in automotive electrics and switchgear construction. Its function is based on the principle of a U-element: the conductors to be connected are fed into the connector without having to be stripped beforehand. By applying light pressure with the pliers, the U-shaped elements remove the wire insulation, increase the contact surface and establish contact with the conductor. The spring-loaded U-element encloses the individual cores and ensures a mechanically strong, vibration-proof, electrically perfect and permanent connection. The connector has been tested and certified by the VDE Institute in accordance with EN60998-2-3 and meets the requirements of IPX8 (2h, 1m). The Scotchlok connector is also UL and C.S.A. listed.
