Communication Markets Division 3M™ Scotchlok™ Connectors and Tools Proven Solutions for Today’s Applications
A Proven Series of Tools and Connectors from 3M. 50 years ago, 3M introduced the industry’s original insulation displacement connector—the 3M™ Scotchlok™ Connector UR. Today, with increased demand for high-speed and high-bandwidth networks, the complete series of 3M connectors and tools has evolved again. We’ve leveraged new technologies while building on the original successful design, shape, color-coded cap concepts and element configuration.
M™ Scotchlok™ Butt Connectors Scotchlok butt connectors employ a specially designed, wire insulation displacement contact to make a reliable electrical connection to each wire. A “live-spring” joint is made by driving the wire down into the “U” contact connector. This simple process displaces the insulation and grasps all conductors with a firm, resilient pressure, all in one motion. No stripping of wire insulation required.
3M™ Scotchlok™ Butt Connector UYF (OUS only) The UYF connector employs a specially designed insulation displacement contact which makes an electrical connection to each wire. The connector is filled with a sealant to provide moisture resistance. The small size of the UYF connector reduces the splicing bundle O.D. to a minimum.
3M™ Scotchlok™ Tap Connectors Scotchlok tap connectors are real time savers. They enable the user to tap into another wire without interrupting service. A U-shaped element inside each connector displaces insulation material and makes contact with the copper conductor. Scotchlok tap connectors also include factory-installed sealant to protect against corrosion and seal out moisture. They are also available in a dry version for central office and vault.
3M™ Scotchlok™ Inline Connectors Scotchlok inline connectors are a safe and simple way to make a secure connection. These full-pair, sealed, moistureresistant connectors are designed to accommodate a wide range of wire ranges in copper or copper-coated steel conductors. 3M™ Scotchlok™ Inline Connector U1B The U1B connector is a sealed moisture-resistant four-wire (1 full pair) inline connector for larger gauge solid copper. AWG 19-16 solid copper conductors.
3M™ Scotchlok™ Tools To complement our line of efficient, reliable 3M™ Scotchlok Connectors, 3M™ Scotchlok™ Crimping Tools are built to do the job right, and do it fast. All Scotchlok tools are engineered to fit comfortably in hand while providing high mechanical advantage for less operator fatigue. From automatic cartridges to adjustable jaws, there’s a tool designed to meet your specific application needs.
