Scotchlok 905-BOX – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Scotchlok 905 connector on 120V building wiring?
No. The Scotchlok 905 is a low voltage connector with a maximum recommended voltage rating of 32V, intended for automotive and electronic circuits. For 120/277V branch circuits you need a line voltage rated connector such as a twist on wire connector or push in splice, not an IDC tap like this one.
2) What wire sizes does the red Scotchlok 905 tap connector accept?
Two different ranges, and they are not interchangeable. The run (the through wire that stays intact) takes 18 to 14 AWG, and the tap (the branch wire) takes 22 to 18 AWG. Put a 14 AWG wire in the tap slot and the insulation displacement element will not seat correctly.
3) Do I have to cut or strip the wire to use a Scotchlok 905?
No stripping. It is an insulation displacement connector, so the metal element cuts through the insulation and contacts the copper when you close the connector with pliers. The run wire stays continuous, which is what makes it a tap rather than a splice.
4) Can the Scotchlok 905 join two wires end to end instead of tapping?
Yes, within its gauge limits. The 905 is a double run or tap connector, so it handles a mid-run tap off an uncut wire, a parallel or inline splice of two wires, and pigtail connections. Keep each conductor inside the right slot range: 18 to 14 AWG on the run side, 22 to 18 AWG on the tap side.
5) How hot can a Scotchlok 905 connector get before it fails?
Rated to a maximum operating temperature of 90 degrees C (194 degrees F), which covers most under dash and body harness locations. Note that the polypropylene body is not flame retardant, so keep it away from exhaust heat and anywhere a flame rated insulator is specified.
6) Is the red Scotchlok 905 the same thing as the blue or yellow Scotchlok taps?
No. Scotchlok colors identify the wire range, and red on the 905 means 22 to 18 AWG tap with 18 to 14 AWG run. If your wires fall outside those two ranges you need a different color connector, not this one.
7) Does the Scotchlok 905 meet RoHS for a European or OEM spec job?
Yes. The 905 is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption and carries CE agency approval, which covers most OEM and export documentation requirements for a low voltage connector.
8) Will the Scotchlok 905 hold up in a damp or corrosive location like a trailer harness?
The contact element is tin plated brass, which resists corrosion and conducts well, and the polypropylene shell gives mechanical protection around it. The data does not establish it as a sealed or submersible connector, so for standing water or wash down exposure add a sealed boot or heat shrink over the connection.
