IDC Butt Connectors UR2 and UY2
3M Scotchlok IDC Butt Connectors employ a specially designed, wire insulation displacement contact to make a reliable electrical connection to each
wire. A “live-spring” joint is made by driving the wire down into the “U” contact connector. This simple process displaces the insulation and grasps all
conductors with a firm, resilient pressure, all in one motion. No stripping of wire insulation is required. Scotchlok butt connectors include a factory-installed
sealant to protect against corrosion and seal out moisture.
