Ideal Industries 84-3261 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire size does the IDEAL 84-3261 red tap splice accept?
The IDEAL 84-3261 tap splice is the red-coded size, rated for 22-18 AWG conductors. Red is the standard insulation color for the 22-18 AWG range in insulated crimp terminals, so it matches the rest of your red-barrel terminals on the same wire. For 16-14 AWG you'd move up to a blue tap splice instead.
2) What is a tap splice used for compared to a butt splice?
A tap splice lets you branch a new conductor off a run without cutting the main wire, so it's the part to use when you need to feed a second device from an existing circuit. A butt splice joins two cut wire ends end to end. The 84-3261 is the tap version in 22-18 AWG, red.
3) How many tap splices come in a box of the IDEAL 84-3261?
The 84-3261 ships as a box of 250 red 22-18 AWG tap splices, which is the quantity to order for panel build-outs, fixture harnessing, or a truck stock refill rather than a one-off repair.
4) Will these tap splices hold up in a damp or corrosive environment?
The barrels are tin-plated brass, which is chosen for corrosion resistance, and the butted seam construction keeps the barrel from splitting under full crimp pressure. That's a reasonable choice for general indoor and equipment wiring, though the insulation is a standard vinyl-type crimp sleeve, not a sealed heat-shrink splice, so it is not a substitute for a waterproof connector in direct-wet locations.
5) Do I need a special crimper for the IDEAL 84-3261 red tap splice?
Use an insulated-terminal crimp tool with a red 22-18 AWG nest. The 84-3261 has a shouldered barrel insulation that seats the terminal in the tool jaw so the crimp lands in the right place, and internal barrel serrations that bite the strands to resist pull-out and lower resistance at the joint. A plain pliers crimp will not reproduce that.
6) Will the 84-3261 fit over thicker wire insulation like appliance or fixture wire?
It has an expanded insulation entry, which takes a wider range of insulation diameters than a straight-bore sleeve and also gives the conductor extra support behind the crimp. Conductor size still governs: the wire itself has to be 22-18 AWG.
7) What is the manufacturer part number for the red 22-18 AWG IDEAL tap splice?
Order IDEAL Industries part 84-3261 for the red 22-18 AWG tap splice, supplied 250 per box. That single MPN covers the item; there are no finish or size options to specify.
