3M Yellow 2-Port Connector PK100

This 3M insulation displacement connector joins two run wires and two tap wires in a single yellow housing. It accepts run conductors from 12 to 10 AWG and tap conductors from 18 to 14 AWG. The polypropylene body is rated for dry environments up to 194 degrees F and 1,000 V maximum voltage. Supplied in a pack of one hundred pieces for volume wiring tasks.

Wire gauge and insulation check

Verify that each run wire falls between 12 and 10 AWG and that each tap wire falls between 18 and 14 AWG before ordering. Confirm the insulation diameter on every conductor does not exceed 0.19 in so the U-element seats correctly. Ensure the installation location remains dry because the connector is not rated for wet or damp conditions.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous current the connector operates reliably up to its 194 degrees F temperature limit. The insulation displacement contact maintains a gas-tight joint without loosening over time. Polypropylene insulation resists creep at the rated voltage of 1,000 V during prolonged use. The design supports the maximum of two run and two tap conductors without degradation.
