What is a 3m scotchlok 560 connector ?
Descriptions
3m scotchlok 560 Run and Tap Connector (TP-1310-560) is used to electrically connect a wire end (tap) to a through (run) wire and insulate the connection.
It is a type of electrical connector used in electrical installations to join or tap into an existing electrical conductor, typically a main electrical wire or cable (the "run"), in order to create a connection for an additional branch circuit or device (the "tap"). These connectors are designed to facilitate safe and secure electrical connections without the need for cutting or splicing the main conductor.
Main Features
- Tap Connection: The primary function of a Run & Tap Connector is to create a secure electrical connection between the main conductor (run) and the additional branch conductor (tap). The tap conductor is typically a smaller wire or cable that needs to draw power or connect to the main electrical circuit.
- Ease of Installation: Many Run & Tap Connectors are designed for easy installation without the need for tools. The compression connectors may require a compression tool for proper installation.
- Reusable: Depending on the design, Run & Tap Connectors can be disassembled and reused, making them cost-effective for multiple installations or modifications.
- Mechanical Strength: Run & Tap Connectors are typically designed to withstand mechanical stress and ensure a stable and secure connection even in environments with vibration or movement.
- Secure Connection: Despite their small size, these connectors provide a secure and reliable electrical connection. They are designed to maintain good electrical conductivity and resist vibration and tension, ensuring a stable connection over time.
