## Description

3M Scotchlok 804 IDC, Run or Tap Electrical Connector electrically connects a tap wire to a run (through) wire while insulating the connection. The connector insulation is manufactured from polypropylene and used to electrically tap into a wire in mid-span without cutting or stripping the wire. It is 600V-rated and withstands temperatures of 167 degrees F (75 degrees C). RoHS 2011/65/EU Compliant: Yes, Voltage Application: Low Voltage. Package dimension: Length: 10.4 inches, Width: 10.4 inches, Height: 6.8 inches, Gross Weight: 1.9197 lbs., New Weight: 1.475 lbs.

Review: Seem to work well, but a little bit of a pain - These connectors seem great, though I haven't had them through a rainy season yet. They are filled with silicone grease which helps make them water-resistant, so you'll want to wear disposable gloves while you are installing them. I used them with 16/2 landscape zip wire and while they work fine with that gauge wire, getting the wire into the connector was a little challenging, what I finally wound up doing was pressing the wire into the little channel with some needle nose pliers and that worked great. Then on some of them, I'd have to squeeze the flap closed with pliers after I squeezed the little splice fork into place. Overall not too hard to use, but it took me some time to figure out a method which worked, maybe, if you can understand what I've described it will save you some time.
Review: Worked great for wiring my landscaping project! - I researched waterproof low voltage wire connectors for days trying to find one that wasn't $3 or more per connector. This connector did not show up in my search on desertcart, which concerns me why they didn't. I actually found them on another website at a higher price, plus shipping. Just as I was getting ready to order them, I decided to try one more time to try to find them on desertcart, this time using the exact item name. I was thrilled when they showed up! There are good videos on youtube showing how to use them. Once you get the hang of it, installing them is easy and quick and sooooo much cheaper than any other waterproof connectors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seem to work well, but a little bit of a pain

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality Wire Taps
*by G***Y on December 31, 2024*

Although all taps look the same, these 3M taps are a quality purchase. Assuming you have the right size wire for the tap you are buying, these easily bite through the wire insulation and make good contact with the wire. Also, the tap has a dielectric grease in it to help keep moisture out of the connection.
