3M 7100175071 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the 3M Scotchlok 905 red connector accept on the run and on the tap?
The red Scotchlok 905 takes 18 to 14 AWG on the run conductor and 22 to 18 AWG on the tap. Insulation outer diameter is the other half of the fit: the run wire can be up to 0.145 in (3.7 mm) over the insulation, the tap wire up to 0.11 in (2.79 mm). If your wire is heavily jacketed it may exceed those numbers even at the right gauge.
2) Do I have to strip the wires before using a Scotchlok 905 tap connector?
No stripping. The 905 is an insulation displacement connector, so the metal element cuts through the insulation as the cap is closed and makes contact with the conductor. You lay the wires in and crush the cap shut with the tool.
3) What tool do I use to close a 3M Scotchlok 905 connector?
3M calls for the E-9BM crimping tool or a 9 inch lineman's pliers. Pliers work fine on small quantities; if you're closing hundreds of these on a fixture line, the E-9BM gives consistent seating pressure. Don't close them by hand, a partly seated cap will not displace the insulation fully.
4) Can I use a Scotchlok 905 on 120V branch circuit wiring?
No. The 905 is a low voltage connector with a maximum recommended voltage rating of 32 V. It is meant for low voltage circuits inside light fixtures, appliances and other OEM electrical assemblies. For line voltage branch wiring use a connector rated for it.
5) Is the red Scotchlok 905 suitable for outdoor or damp locations?
No. The 905 is not moisture resistant and is not flame retardant, so it belongs in dry interior equipment. For buried, wet or direct-earth taps you want a gel-filled IDC connector instead of this dry polypropylene body.
6) How hot can a Scotchlok 905 connector run inside a light fixture?
Maximum operating temperature is 90 C (194 F). That covers most luminaire and appliance interiors, but check the temperature at the actual splice point in high-output or enclosed fixtures before committing to it.
7) Is the 3M Scotchlok 905 UL Listed and RoHS compliant?
It is UL Listed and CSA Certified, and RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption. Made in the United States, which matters if you're on a domestic-content procurement spec.
8) Can I put more than two wires into one Scotchlok 905?
Two conductors maximum, one run and one tap. If you need to bring three or more leads together, use a separate connector per junction rather than forcing an extra wire into the channel, which will stop the cap seating and break the contact.
9) How many Scotchlok 905 connectors come in a case?
They ship 50 per pouch, 500 per case. The pouch packaging keeps loose connectors contained on a cart or in a fixture-assembly station.
