3M 7100175087 Idc Pigtail Quick Splice Connector 22-14 Awg

Product Description

The 3M 7100175087 is an IDC (insulation displacement) pigtail quick splice connector rated for 22 to 14 AWG wire and packaged in quantities of 50. It accepts 2 to 3 wire entries, allowing a technician to tap into or splice an existing conductor without stripping insulation or making a traditional solder or crimp joint. The white housing provides quick visual identification on the bench or in the field. With a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F, this connector is suited for environments with moderate heat exposure, including control wiring in HVAC equipment, low-voltage lighting circuits, and general electrical panel accessories.

This connector is commonly used by HVAC technicians and electricians for low-voltage control wiring, thermostat pigtail extensions, and branch circuit taps where a fast, tool-minimized splice is acceptable. Compatible wire cross-section ranges from 0.50 to 1.50 sq mm. The IDC termination method pierces the wire insulation on closure, making it well suited for production-style installations or service calls where speed and consistency matter. The 50-piece package supports stock replenishment for service vans and shop inventory.

Key Features

• IDC termination — no wire stripping required before making the splice
• Accepts 2 to 3 wire entries for tap or pigtail configurations
• Compatible with 22 to 14 AWG (0.50 to 1.50 sq mm) conductors
• Maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F
• White color for fast visual identification during installation or inspection
• CSA Certified, UL Listed, and RoHS 2011/65/EU Compliant

Compatibility

Designed for use with 22 to 14 AWG copper conductors in low-voltage control wiring, thermostat circuits, and general electrical splicing applications where IDC termination is acceptable per applicable installation codes.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or HVAC technician. Power down or de-energize the circuit at the breaker or disconnect before making any splice. Verify the conductor gauge falls within the 22 to 14 AWG range before seating the connector, as out-of-range wire sizes can result in an incomplete IDC pierce and an unreliable connection. Follow NEC guidelines for splice location and enclosure requirements.
