Sold in a box of 100, this connector accepts 18 to 16 AWG solid or stranded wire and 14 AWG stranded wire, with a maximum insulation outer diameter of 0.145 inches. The blue housing is made from flame-retardant material and is rated for operating temperatures up to 194 degrees F. It is installed using the 3M E-9BM crimping tool. Electricians and low-voltage technicians use this connector for fast, reliable splices without stripping insulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for residential and commercial electrical work where double run or tap splicing is required. Common applications include branch circuit tapping, telephone and data wiring, control wiring, and similar low-voltage conductor connections. The IDC design allows the connector to pierce insulation and make contact with the conductor in a single crimping operation, reducing installation time. Each box contains 100 connectors, and a case contains 1,000 units, making it practical for high-volume service work or stocking at the job site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts 18 to 16 AWG solid or stranded wire and 14 AWG stranded wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum insulation outer diameter of 0.145 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for operating temperatures up to 194 degrees F (90 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlame-retardant blue housing for quick identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with the 3M E-9BM crimping tool for consistent, tool-applied terminations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100 connectors per box, 1,000 connectors per case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with the 3M E-9BM crimping tool.

De-energize the circuit fully before making any splice connection. The IDC design does not require insulation stripping, but the conductor must be seated correctly in the connector cavity before crimping. Follow all applicable NEC requirements for conductor splicing and enclosure fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Range (Solid or Stranded)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 to 16 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Range (Stranded Only)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Insulation Outer Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.145 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 194 degrees F (90 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlame Retardant\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity Per Box\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity Per Case\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Installation Tool\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3M E-9BM Crimping Tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10054007200908\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7100166938\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"3M","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345920327986,"sku":"7100166938","price":342.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310535402.jpg?v=1782066626","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/3m-7100166938-idc-560b-connector-double-run-tap-blue","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
