951X-BOTTLE T-Tap Connector

The 3M 951X-BOTTLE is a red insulation displacement connector rated for 22-18 AWG wire in dry environments. It accepts a maximum insulation diameter of .15 inches and operates up to 221 degrees F. The brass contacts feature a tin finish and the nylon housing carries a UL 94 V-2 flammability rating. Supplied in a pack of 50, it is UL Listed, CSA Certified and RoHS compliant.

Upgrade From Crimp or Solder Taps

This connector replaces traditional crimp or solder methods by piercing insulation without stripping the conductor. The jump is worth it when installation speed and connection reliability in vibration-prone automotive or industrial circuits are priorities. The displacement design maintains wire integrity while creating a gas-tight contact. It eliminates the need for separate stripping, crimping and insulation steps.

Fits 22-18 AWG Single-Circuit Builds

The connector requires a run wire and tap wire both within the 22-18 AWG range for a single-port connection. It fits into existing harnesses where the maximum insulation diameter does not exceed .15 inches. The 600 V rating suits low-voltage automotive and industrial control circuits. The dry-environment rating means it is not suited for wet or corrosive locations without additional protection.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum insulation diameter the 3M 951X-BOTTLE connector can accommodate?

The connector accepts a maximum insulation diameter of .15 in, covering both run and tap wires sized 22 to 18 AWG.

What installation step is critical when using this insulation displacement connector?

Ensure the wire insulation is fully seated so the internal blades pierce cleanly without stripping; incomplete seating leaves an open circuit.

When should a used 3M 951X-BOTTLE connector be replaced rather than reused?

Replace any connector that has been removed, shows deformed blades, cracked nylon housing, or discoloration from exceeding the 221 Degrees F rating.
