3M 7000133318 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire gauge range does the 3M Scotchlok MV18BCX red butt connector take?
The MV18BCX butt connector is sized for 22 through 18 AWG stranded wire, which is 0.34 to 1 mm2 metric. Red insulation is the standard color code for that range, so if your conductors are 16 AWG or larger this is the wrong connector, you'd need the next size up.
2) Can I use these butt connectors on solid wire, or stranded only?
Stranded wire. The Scotchlok MV18BCX makes its connection to a pre-stripped end of stranded conductor, and the barrel is crimped over the strands. For solid conductor splices in a box, use a twist-on or push-in connector instead.
3) Will these red butt splices hold up in an engine compartment or a rooftop HVAC unit?
Temperature range on the MV18BCX runs -40 to 221 degrees F (-40 to 105 C), so summer rooftop and under-hood ambient are within spec. Note the barrel is tin-plated copper with vinyl insulation, not adhesive-lined heat shrink, so it isn't a sealed connection. Anywhere it will see standing water or washdown, use a heat-shrink sealed splice.
4) Are these 3M butt connectors UL Listed for commercial and institutional work?
The Scotchlok MV18BCX is UL Listed and CSA Certified, and it's RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant. That covers the approvals most facility and institutional specs call out for insulated crimp terminals.
5) How do I know the wire is inserted far enough in a Scotchlok butt connector?
There's a built-in wire stop at the center of the barrel. Push each stripped conductor in until it bottoms against the stop, then crimp. That positions both wires the same depth and keeps one from running past center and leaving the other side with a short grip.
6) How long is the MV18BCX butt connector, and will it fit inside a tight harness loom?
Overall length is 1.02 inches (25.9 mm). That's the finished splice length, so plan for at least that much straight run plus strip length when you're routing through loom or a conduit body.
7) What is the barrel made of, and will it corrode in a damp mechanical room?
The barrel is electrolytic copper alloy with tin plating. The tin plating is there for corrosion resistance and gives a compatible mating surface for copper conductors. Don't crimp aluminum conductors in it.
8) What part number should I order to reorder the same red 18 AWG butt splices?
Order 3M part 7000133318, the Scotchlok MV18BCX seamless vinyl insulated butt connector. It's made in the United States. Quoting both the 7000133318 stock number and the MV18BCX designation avoids confusion with the other colors in the Scotchlok butt connector line.
9) How do these Scotchlok butt connectors come packaged for a stockroom?
MV18BCX ships 100 connectors per bottle, 500 per case. The bottle packaging is what most MRO and fleet shops keep on the bench, and the case gives you five of them for shelf stock.
