3M Tap-In Bullet Receptacle Connector - 18-14 Gauge

Black 3M Scotchlok 901 Tap-In Bullet Receptacle, angled view, designed for electrical connections, suitable for 18-14 gauge wire.

Efficient and Reusable 3M Tap-In Bullet Receptacle Connector for Mid-Span Electrical Connections

The 3M Tap-In Bullet Receptacle Connector provides a quick, efficient, and reusable method for tapping into existing wires without the need for cutting or stripping. This versatile connector allows you to tap directly into 18-14 AWG solid or stranded copper wires, supporting both tinned and untinned conductors (0.75-1.5 mm²). Its design makes it simple to create secure mid-span electrical connections, ideal for automotive, trailer lighting, and general wiring projects where fast, non-permanent splicing is required.

One of the key features of the 3M Tap-In Connector is its compatibility with .156" male bullet connectors, allowing for a plug-and-play connection. This setup makes it easy to create a removable, reusable connection that can be modified or upgraded as needed. The insulator is made from durable polypropylene, while the U-contact is constructed from tin-plated copper, ensuring excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The connector supports 18-gauge (7 amps), 16-gauge (10 amps), and 14-gauge (15 amps) copper wires, providing flexibility for a wide range of electrical applications.

Rated for 32V and capable of withstanding temperatures up to 90°C (194°F), this RoHS-compliant connector meets industry safety and environmental standards. While not UL or CSA listed, it remains a dependable option for wiring tasks where simplicity, reusability, and efficiency are priorities. The 3M Tap-In Bullet Receptacle is commonly used in automotive electrical systems, trailer lighting, and other applications where removable, plug-style connections are required. Its fast, tool-friendly installation and the ability to make mid-span connections without wire cutting make it an essential tool for electricians, technicians, and DIY enthusiasts alike.
