It accepts 18 to 16 AWG solid or stranded wire and 14 AWG stranded wire. The connector body is light blue and is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F (105 degrees C). The housing is flame retardant and accommodates conductors with a maximum insulation outer diameter of 0.145 inches. Licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians install these connectors in branch circuit tapping and parallel splicing applications where reliable insulated connections are required without stripping wire ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for tap and parallel splicing tasks in residential and commercial electrical work. It is used where a branch conductor must be connected to a continuous run wire, such as in junction boxes, panel wiring, and fixture installations. The suggested application tool is the E-9BM Crimping Tool. Connectors are packaged 100 per box and 1,000 per case, making them practical for ongoing service work or larger wiring projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts 18 to 16 AWG solid or stranded and 14 AWG stranded conductors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum insulation outer diameter of 0.145 inches for broad wire compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 221 degrees F (105 degrees C) operating temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlame-retardant housing for added safety in enclosed spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLight blue color coding for quick identification during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged 100 per box, 1,000 per case for efficient job-site inventory\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.
