3M 567-BOX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the 3M Scotchlok 567 connector take on the run and on the tap?
The Scotchlok 567 is a run-and-tap connector with two different gauge ranges, and mixing them up is the usual mistake. The run conductor (the through wire you are tapping into) takes 12-10 AWG. The tap conductor (the branch you are pulling off) takes 18-14 AWG. A 12 AWG tap will not seat in the tap channel, and an 18 AWG run wire is too small for the run channel to displace reliably.
2) Do I have to strip the wires before using a Scotchlok 567 IDC connector?
No stripping. The 567 is an insulation displacement connector, so the metal element cuts through the insulation as you crimp the cap closed and bites the copper underneath. You lay the run wire in unbroken, drop the tap in, and press the cap down with a pair of pliers. That is the whole point of it for a maintenance electrician working in a fixture box or a junction box where you cannot cut and re-terminate the existing home run.
3) Can I use a Scotchlok 567 on 120V or 277V lighting circuits?
Yes, both are within range. The 567 carries a maximum recommended voltage rating of 600V, which covers 120V, 208V, 240V and 277V branch circuits as well as 480/277V lighting in a commercial building. Just keep the conductor sizes inside the 12-10 AWG run and 18-14 AWG tap window.
4) Is the 3M Scotchlok 567 UL listed for commercial electrical work?
Agency approvals on the 567 are UL and CSA, so it is accepted for both US and Canadian installations. The housing is flame retardant, which is what a facilities or institutional spec usually asks for on a connector going into a panel, a fixture, or an equipment enclosure. It is also RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption if you are working to a sustainability or procurement standard that calls for it.
5) Do I have to cut the main wire to tap off it with a Scotchlok 567?
No, and that is the reason to reach for it. The 567 run channel accepts a continuous, uncut 12-10 AWG conductor, so the existing circuit stays intact while the 18-14 AWG tap branches off it. Compare that to a wire nut, where you have to cut the run, strip three conductors, and pigtail them. For adding a fixture, a sensor, or a control leg to an existing branch circuit in an occupied building, the uncut run saves the splice and the downtime.
6) Can I use a Scotchlok 567 to tap 16 AWG thermostat or control wire off a 12 AWG circuit?
Yes. 16 AWG sits inside the 18-14 AWG tap range and 12 AWG sits inside the 12-10 AWG run range, so that combination is exactly what the 567 is built for. It is a common HVAC and controls move: pick up a low-gauge control or signal leg off a heavier branch conductor without breaking the run. Keep it at or below 600V and 105 degrees C.
7) Will a 3M Scotchlok 567 work on 8 AWG or larger feeder wire?
No. The run channel on the 567 tops out at 10 AWG, so 8 AWG and anything heavier will not fit the element and you will not get a proper displacement bite. For feeders that size you want a mechanical tap connector or a split-bolt with tape and insulating cover, not an IDC. The 567 is a branch-circuit and control-wire part: 12-10 AWG run, 18-14 AWG tap.
8) How many 3M 567 connectors come in a box?
3M part number 567-BOX ships 100 connectors in a box. That is the quantity that makes sense for a service van or an MRO crib where you are standardizing on one tap connector across a property, rather than buying strips for a single job.
9) What does the brown Scotchlok connector mean compared to other colors?
Color is how 3M codes the gauge range on Scotchlok connectors, and brown on the 567 means 18-14 AWG tap with 12-10 AWG run. If you pull a connector out of the bin and it is a different color, it is a different wire range, not just a different look. Worth knowing when you have several Scotchlok types on the truck and you are working in a dim ceiling.
10) Are Scotchlok 567 connectors reusable if I need to move the tap?
Treat them as one-time. An insulation displacement element cuts the insulation and seats into the copper when the cap is pressed closed, so once crimped the connector is spent and the conductor has been pierced at that point. If you need to relocate a tap, cut past the pierced section and use a fresh connector. At 100 to a box that is a cheap decision, not a careful one.
