3MScotchlok™ Connectors and Tools

Proven Solutions For Today’s Applications

A New Series of Tools and Connectors from 3M.

Over 45 years ago, 3M introduced the industry’s original insulation displacement connector—the 3M™ Scotchlok™ UR Connector. Today, with increased demand for high-speed and high-bandwidth networks, the complete series of 3M connectors and tools has evolved again.We’ve leveraged new technologies while building on the original successful design, shape, color-coded cap concepts and element configuration. With the new series of tools and connectors from 3M, service providers can meet the demand for enhanced customer services such as high speed internet, video-on-demand and video conferencing. Series 2 connectors additionally offer full wire range capability,increased port size to accommodate up to 2.08 mm (0.082") insulation sizes, double elements in all products and solvent resistant plastic construction. As new technologies migrate into the local loop, the importance of reliable connections in the embedded plant has increased exponentially. Each connection is a potential point of failure in high-bandwidth applications which could require additional timeand expense for a technician to repair. That is where the full line of 3M Scotchlok connectors really makes a difference.

3M™ Scotchlok™ Butt Connectors
Scotchlok 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. Thissimple process displaces the insulation and grasps all conductors with a firm, resilient pressure, all in one motion. No stripping of wire insulation required. Scotchlok butt connectors include a factory-installed sealant to protect against corrosion and seal out moisture. They are also available in a dry version for central office and vault. A variety of sizes and wire combinations are available toaccommodate any need.

3M™ SCOTCHLOK™ BUTT CONNECTOR UR The UR connector accepts two or three solid copper conductors for butt splicing. The connector is filled with a sealant to provide moisture resistance.

3M™ SCOTCHLOK™ BUTT CONNECTOR UY The small size of the UY connector reduces the splicing bundle O.D. to a minimum. The connector’s two ports accept two solid copper conductors. Theconnector is filled with a sealant to provide moisture resistance.

3M™ SCOTCHLOK™ BUTT CONNECTOR UR2/UR2-D The UR2/UR2-D, solvent resistant connectors, accept two or three solid copper conductors that can be of different wire gauges, for butt splicing. The UR2 connectors are filled with a sealant to provide moisture resistance. The UR2-D connector is a dry version.

3M™ SCOTCHLOK™ BUTT CONNECTORUY2/UY2-D The small size of the UY2/UY2-D, solvent resistant connectors, reduce the splicing bundle O.D. to a minimum. Their two ports accept two solid copper conductors that can be of different wire gauges. The connector is filled with a sealant to provide moisture resistance. In addition, the UY2 connector is available in a dry version, UY2-D connector.

3M™ SCOTCHLOK™ BUTT CONNECTOR UAL The UALconnector is a sealed, moisture-resistant two- or three-wire connector. Outside ports accept solid-copper, aluminum, or a combination of both.

3M™ SCOTCHLOK™ BUTT CONNECTOR UYF (OUS ONLY) The UYF connector employs a specially designed insulation displacement contact which makes an electrical connection to each wire. The connector is filled with a sealant to provide moisture resistance. Thesmall size of the UYF connector reduces the splicing bundle O.D. to a minimum.

3M™ SCOTCHLOK™ UP2 BUTT CONNECTOR The UP2 connector is a dry, flame-retardant two-wire UL-Listed connector for use on paper, pulp or PIC cable where moisture resistance is not needed.
