Scotchlok Electrical Insulation Displacement Connector 901-BOX - 3M Automotive

The 3M Automotive Scotchlok Electrical Insulation Displacement Connector 901-BOX (model 6106) provides a robust and efficient solution for electrical connections in professional automotive and industrial settings. This compact connector simplifies wiring tasks by enabling fast, dependable splicing of 18–14 AWG copper conductors without the need for stripping or twisting, empowering technicians to achieve consistent, low-resistance electrical connections with ease.

Key Features

• Insulation Displacement Design: Facilitates rapid mid-span and end splices by eliminating wire stripping, significantly reducing installation time and minimizing handling errors. This design streamlines connections, often minimizing the need for a separate insulation displacement connector tool for most applications.
• Durable "U" Contact: Features a tin-plated copper alloy "U" contact that cleanly bites into 18–14 AWG solid or stranded copper, ensuring a consistent and robust electrical connection.
• Robust Polypropylene Housing: The black polypropylene insulation offers solvent-resistant construction, designed to withstand common shop chemicals and perform reliably in under-dash or engine bay environments within rated limits.
• Bullet Connector Compatibility: Designed to accept a 0.156-inch male bullet, allowing for straightforward integration into existing automotive, trailer, and auxiliary lighting circuits.
• Compliance & Reliability: UL Listed, CSA Certified, and RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant, providing documented performance and safety assurance for professional use.

Applications

The 3M 901-BOX is an ideal choice for professional automotive technicians, fleet maintenance personnel, and upfitters seeking reliable connections. This versatile connector is well-suited for a broad range of vehicles and equipment, including passenger vehicles, light trucks, trailers, RVs, and marine electrical systems. Common uses for the 3M 901 include accessory wiring, lighting circuits, trailer harness repairs, control circuits, and low-energy underground runs (up to 32V), such as sprinkler valves and landscape lighting. It is particularly effective in production environments and field repairs where consistent, repeatable connections are paramount.
