Scotchlok 314U-BIN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to strip the wires before using the Scotchlok 314U connector?
No stripping needed. The 314U is an insulation displacement connector, so the metal element cuts through the insulation and makes contact when the cap is crimped down on the conductors. You push the wires in full-insulation and seat the cap with pliers. That is the main labor saving on fixture and sign whips where you would otherwise strip two or three conductors per joint.
2) What wire sizes will the Scotchlok 314U accept, and does it work on stranded?
It takes 22 through 14 AWG, solid or stranded. That covers 18 AWG fixture wire, 16 AWG cord, and 14 AWG branch circuit conductors. Anything heavier than 14 AWG will not seat in the element, so for 12 AWG and up you need a different connector.
3) What does pigtail mean on the Scotchlok 314U, and how many wires can I put in one?
Pigtail means the conductors all enter from the same side and the connector caps the end of the bundle, like a wire nut, rather than tapping a run that continues through. It joins 2 or 3 wires and fully insulates the splice. If you need to tap a conductor that keeps running (a run-and-tap), a pigtail connector is the wrong style.
4) Can I use the Scotchlok 314U in a 277V lighting circuit or a sign?
Yes on both. The 314U is rated 600V for building wire, which covers 120V, 277V and 480V branch circuits, and 1000V for signs, fixtures and luminaires. The higher sign/fixture rating is what makes it usable inside neon and channel letter cabinets.
5) Is the Scotchlok 314U UL Listed and CSA certified for an inspected commercial job?
Both. The 314U holds UL file E23438 and CSA file LR15503, and it is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption, which matters on federal, healthcare and education specs that call out RoHS.
6) Is the Scotchlok 314U rated hot enough for inside a luminaire ballast compartment?
It carries a 105 degree C (221 degree F) maximum operating temperature, which matches the common 105 C rating on fixture wire, and the body is flame retardant nylon. That is the rating fixture and sign work is typically specified to.
7) Can the Scotchlok 314U be used for low voltage control or thermostat wiring?
Yes. It is listed for low voltage application and goes down to 22 AWG, so 18 and 22 AWG control, thermostat and signal conductors seat properly in the element. Use the same pigtail technique, 2 or 3 conductors per connector.
8) How do the Scotchlok 314U connectors come packed, and what part number do I order?
Order model 314U-BIN. It ships bulk in a bin rather than carded, which is how an MRO crib or a sign shop wants them for repeat pulls. White body, so they are easy to tell apart from other Scotchlok elements on the bench.
9) Can I reuse a Scotchlok 314U connector if I need to redo the splice?
Treat it as one-time use. The element pierces the insulation and the cap latches closed when you crimp it, so opening it back up destroys the contact geometry. Cut the splice off and use a fresh 314U. Buying the bulk bin rather than small packs is what keeps rework cheap.
