Description
Overview:
Scotchlock Tap Connectors, Blue (560), are insulated, inline "tap" connectors for making fast, reliable branch connections in existing wiring looms. Each connector has a robust plastic body with an integrated metal insulation‐displacement element that bites cleanly into the conductors to create a secure electrical joint without stripping the wire. Suited to copper conductors in the 1.0-2.0 mm2 range, they are widely used on automotive, plant, and garden machinery wiring, including generators and ride‐on mowers. The connectors are compact, easy to handle with standard pliers, and colour‐coded blue for quick size identification. Supplied in a workshop‐friendly pack of 100. Manufacturer Part Number: 205 161.
