14 AWG Twist-On Wire Connector
The 3M H-31-POUCH is an orange vinyl-insulated twist-on connector designed for copper conductors. It accepts a minimum single wire size of 18 AWG and a maximum of 14 AWG. The connector handles up to seven conductors with a maximum combination of two 14 AWG and three 20 AWG wires. It is UL Listed and rated for 600 V maximum voltage.
Installing the twist-on connector
Strip the wire insulation to the appropriate length and align the conductor ends. Twist the connector clockwise onto the wires until the connection feels firm and no bare copper is visible. A common issue is insufficient tightening, which can leave strands loose and increase resistance. Over-tightening may damage the vinyl insulation or nick the copper conductors inside.
Sustained load performance
The connector carries a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F and a 600 V rating for continuous duty. The steel contact material maintains consistent pressure on the conductors during thermal cycling. Vinyl insulation resists cracking at the rated temperature limit. The UL Listing confirms the device meets safety standards for prolonged operation within these parameters.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the 3M H-31-POUCH connector is working after installation?
After twisting the connector onto the wires, tug each wire gently to confirm a firm mechanical hold, then check that no bare copper is visible below the vinyl insulation. A continuity tester across the joint should show a closed circuit.
What comes in the package and what must I supply myself?
The pouch contains the orange twist-on connectors only. You must provide solid or stranded copper conductors between 22 AWG and 14 AWG, plus a wire stripper and pliers for preparation and tightening.
Which wire-gauge combinations suit the H-31-POUCH orange connector?
Use it for copper wires from a minimum of five 22 AWG up to a maximum of two 14 AWG with three 20 AWG, staying within the 14 AWG maximum single-wire size and the 7-conductor limit.
