Insulation Displacement ConnectorsWith 3M™ Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC), simply insert unstripped wires into this durable little plastic connector and squeeze to make a reliable connection. The “U” element bites through the insulation to make contact with the wire conductors inside without damaging the cable.

3M invented IDCs and makes them for electrical and telecommunications, including applications that require resistance to moisture, solvents or flame. 3M also offers special tools designed to make applying IDCs even easier. They’re excellent for making connections for vehicles and boats, recreational vehicles, lighting and control and communication circuits.
