3M Scotchlok inline connectors are a safe and simple way to make a secure cable connection. These full pair, sealed, moisture-resistant 3M Scotchlok UY2 connectors are designed to accommodate a wide range of wire ranges in copper or copper-coated steel conductors.

The UY2 3M crimp far exceeds the quality of any other crimp, it makes with a clear click sound when used with spade plier tool or flat nose pliers. The connecting pin stays straight and it doesn't cover you in cheap thick jelly like other brands. It does not ouse or leak jelly after time in tool bags and boxes. 3M's Scotchlok  UY2 connector makes a moisture resistant butt splice connection between two solid-copper conductors of air-core or filled cable. Sealant is a mineral oil-based grease.
