3M Scotchlok 314 Insulation Displacement Connector, Blue, 0.5-1.5 mm², 600 V, 50 Pack 7100166936

Making reliable electrical connections in tight spaces or without stripping wires can be a challenge. The 3M Scotchlok 314 connector solves this by using insulation displacement technology: simply insert the wires and squeeze with pliers—no stripping or soldering needed. This blue connector is designed for splicing or tapping solid or stranded copper wires from 0.5 to 1.5 mm² (20-16 AWG) and is rated for up to 600 V, making it suitable for a wide range of low-voltage and line-voltage applications.

Who is it for

Electricians, maintenance technicians, and DIYers who need quick, durable wire connections in junction boxes, lighting fixtures, or control panels. It is especially useful when working with existing wiring where stripping is difficult or when making tap connections without cutting the main conductor.
