 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 fluorescent ballast 
installation and replacement, fixture 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.
