Description

The AMP ELECTRO-TAP connector utilizes insulation displacement type self-stripping contacts which provide faster, easier tapping than the conventional twist or other type splices. After four simple steps you have a fast, reliable connection on solid or stranded wires 20-10 AWG (.160-.195 max. insulation diameter). There is no special tooling required--ordinary pliers are all that are needed.

Each AMP ELECTRO-TAP connector is constructed of durable nylon with self-stripping, tin-plated brass contacts.

These connectors have a wide range of wiring applications in both low- and high-voltage usage. Some typical applications include:

  • Fixtures
  • Automotive wiring
  • Boat and trailer systems
  • Control panels
  • Tractors and trailers
  • Open splice wiring
  • Mobile homes
  • Low voltage switching systems
  • Plant maintenance
  • School bus
  • Stereo and speaker wiring
  • Trailer hitches
  • Equipment manufacturers
  • Harness repair
  • Garage repair work
  • Hobby wiring
  • Auto dealers
