SELF-CONTAINED
POWER CONNECTORS
AND ACCESSORIES
Self-Contained Power Connectors from Molex are
used to splice and tap solid and stranded nonmetallic sheathed cable. The connector family
supports two and three conductor plus ground
circuits for A/C power applications. The product line
features insulation displacement contacts which
provide wire termination without the need to prestrip the wires. The splice connectors are used to
splice two cable segments together and replace
butt connectors, wire nuts, and junction boxes used
in traditional splice applications. Tap connectors
operate in similar fashion and are used to support
taps of existing cable segments to create new
branch circuits.

Two-Circuit Version
The SC Power Splice Connectors
are used with solid and stranded
nonmetallic sheathed cable. Solid
cable versions are available for 14/2,
12/2, and 10/2 wire. Stranded cable
versions are available for 16/2, 14/2,
12/2, and 10/2 wire. The connectors
are used to wire homes, buildings,
office partitions, RV’s, motor homes,
boats, and many other electrical
applications using 110 and 220 AC
circuits.
The SC Power Splice Connectors
have three contacts that accept
the solid or stranded conductors
found in a 2-conductor plus ground.
Each terminal makes contact
with the conductor via insulation
displacement (IDT) contacts. They
also help to support the conductor
and keep it from moving within the
connector. Lastly, by having the dual
IDT slots, this part operates with
virtually no millivolt drop.
Three-Circuit Version
The 3-circuit splice connector can
be used to splice solid nonmetallic
cable 14/3 and 12/3 with ground.
This connector shares all the
features, assembly methods and
agency approvals as the two circuit
versions. It is generally used for the
wiring of smoke detectors, 3-way
lights and entertainment centers.

The SC Tap Splice is used for
splicing into an existing solid
conductor 14/2 and 12/2 cable with
ground. Stranded wire versions are
available for 16/2, 14/2, and 12/2
wire. This provides the user the
ability to add an additional branch
line or add modular hookups in their
products anywhere they are needed.
The Molex Tap Splice is relatively
small and fits into walls, floors, and
ceiling cavities with ease. Once the
Tap Connector has been spliced into
the cable, the branch line wire to a
SC Power Splice Connector can be
mated to the Tap.
