About Quick Splice Wire Taps

A quick splice wire tap connector (also called a scotch lock, IDC tap connector, or insulation displacement connector) allows a branch wire to be connected to an existing wire in a circuit without cutting or stripping either wire. The connector body holds both the main wire and the branch wire in separate channels — when closed with pliers, an internal metal blade pierces through the insulation of both wires simultaneously and makes electrical contact between them.

Quick splice connectors are widely used in automotive, caravan, marine, and 12V accessory wiring applications — they are particularly popular for adding accessories to existing vehicle wiring (dash cameras, accessories, lighting) without permanently modifying the original harness. Colour coding indicates the wire size range each connector suits — red for fine gauge, blue for medium gauge, and yellow for heavier gauge. Always verify the wire size compatibility before installation, as using the wrong size scotch lock can result in poor contact or insulation damage.

Q: How is a quick splice wire tap installed?
A: Place the main wire in the larger channel and the branch wire in the smaller channel. Fold the connector closed and squeeze firmly with pliers until the lid clicks shut — the internal blade pierces both wire insulations to make contact.

Q: What wire sizes does the red quick splice suit?
A: The red quick splice suits wire with a cross-section of 0.5–0.75mm².

Q: Can quick splice connectors be reused?
A: Quick splice connectors are designed for one-time use — the insulation displacement blade cannot be reset once the connector is closed. Use a new connector if the connection needs to be remade.

Q: How many connectors are in a pack?
A: This pack contains 25 red quick splice wire tap connectors.
