Value Collection BD-18545 Idc Pigtail Splice Connector 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18545 is an IDC (insulation displacement contact) pigtail quick splice connector designed for fast, tool-free wire splicing in low-voltage wiring applications. Each connector accommodates two wire entries and accepts wire gauges from 22 to 14 AWG, making it suitable for a wide range of signal and power wiring tasks. The blue color coding identifies the compatible wire range at a glance. The IDC termination method pierces the wire insulation on contact, eliminating the need to strip wire ends before making a connection. This package contains 25 connectors. Electricians and low-voltage installers commonly use these splice connectors when adding branch connections to existing wire runs without cutting the main conductor.

These connectors are used in residential and light commercial wiring where quick, reliable splices are needed on thermostat wire, doorbell wire, security system wiring, and similar low-voltage conductors in the 22 to 14 AWG range. The pigtail configuration allows a branch wire to be connected directly to a through-wire, which is common in HVAC control wiring, low-voltage lighting, and alarm system installations. The 25-piece pack suits service technicians and electricians who make multiple splice connections per job.

Key Features

• IDC termination method — no wire stripping required before installation
• Accepts 22 to 14 AWG wire for flexible application across common low-voltage conductor sizes
• Two wire entries support a pigtail branch connection to a through-wire
• Blue color coding indicates compatible wire gauge range at a glance
• UL and CSA Listed, RoHS compliant
• 25 connectors per package for multi-connection jobs

Compatibility

Designed for use with 22 to 14 AWG insulated copper wire in low-voltage splicing applications where an IDC pigtail connection is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or low-voltage technicians. De-energize the circuit before making any splice connection. The IDC design requires firm, even pressure — typically applied with lineman pliers or a dedicated IDC tool — to fully seat the connector and pierce the wire insulation. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for splice protection and enclosure requirements when installing in finished spaces.
