Quick Splice Wire Tap - 18-14 AWG - 4 Pack

Quick Splice Wire Tap - 18-14 AWG - 4 Pack Quick Splice Wire Connectors for Fast Electrical Repairs Add a branch wire to an existing circuit without cutting, stripping, or soldering. These blue quick splice wire connectors use a self-stripping insulation displacement contact to make a secure connection with 18-14 AWG wire. Simply insert the existing run wire and new tap wire, clamp the metal contact closed with pliers, and snap the insulated cover shut. The result is a secure, vibration-resistant splice for automotive wiring, trailer lights, marine projects, low-voltage home wiring, and everyday DIY electrical repairs. Self-Stripping 18-14 AWG Wire Tap Connectors These self-stripping wire tap connectors eliminate several wire preparation steps. The internal IDC contact cuts through the wire insulation as it is pressed into place, creating a solderless electrical connection without manually exposing the conductor. The blue vinyl-insulated body identifies this version for larger 18-14 AWG wire, approximately 0.82-2.08 mm2 (0.0013-0.0032 in2). Each connector is designed for one-time installation. Quick Splice Wire Tap Installation Place the existing run wire into the open channel without cutting it. Insert the new tap wire into the second channel. Use pliers to press the metal IDC contact fully into the wires. Snap the blue insulated cover closed over the connection. No soldering iron or traditional wire stripper is required. These solderless wire tap connectors are a convenient choice for adding lights, accessories, and other branch circuits. Automotive and Low-Voltage Wire Connector Applications Designed for 12-32V DC systems, these automotive wire splice connectors are useful for vehicle accessories, trailer lighting, marine wiring, low-voltage home projects, and general electrical repair. The connectors are electrically rated for up to 600V and a maximum temperature of 105°C (221°F). This package includes four blue connectors. Other wire gauge options in the same connector family include red 22-18 AWG and 16-14 AWG versions.
