3M 952X-BOTTLE Displacement Connectors
These blue insulation displacement connectors accept 18 to 14 AWG wires on both the run and tap sides. Each connector features a single port and is rated for up to 600 volts in dry environments. The nylon insulation withstands temperatures up to 221 degrees Fahrenheit. A pack contains fifty units for professional wiring jobs.
Suited for electricians making quick tap splices
Installers who need a fast, tool-driven connection without stripping insulation will appreciate the displacement design. The connectors are CSA certified and UL listed for code compliance. They are not intended for wet or damp locations, so outdoor or underground projects should use a different solution. Users without the specified 2JLF8 crimping tool will not achieve a reliable termination.
Handles 18 to 14 AWG wire
The connector comfortably joins solid or stranded conductors within the stated gauge range. Maximum insulation diameter is limited to .15 inches, so thicker jackets will not fit. Voltage headroom reaches 600 volts for standard residential and commercial circuits. Thermal headroom extends to 221 degrees Fahrenheit before the nylon housing degrades.

Questions about this item
What crimping tool is required for the 952X-BOTTLE connector?
The manufacturer specifies crimping tool 2JLF8 for proper installation of these displacement connectors.
Can the blue 952X-BOTTLE connectors accept both run and tap wires from 18 to 14 AWG?
Yes, both the run and tap wire ranges are 18 to 14 AWG, so existing wiring within that gauge works with the connector.
How do I confirm a secure connection after crimping the 952X-BOTTLE?
A fully seated connector shows the wire insulation flush with the body and the latch clicked closed; the nylon insulation and 600 V rating indicate correct engagement.
