2-Wire UY IDC Insulation Displacement Connectors (Yellow), 100 Pack - (UYC-100PK)

Triplett Model UYC-100PK 2-Wire UY IDC Insulation Displacement Connectors (Yellow) can be used to repair broken wires or splice in additional wires to an existing voice, data, or low voltage circuit. For single conductor solid copper wire 21 - 26 AWG. Insulation on the wires does not have to be stripped before termination. Simply put wires in place and push button with pliers or crimping tool. The moisture resistant sealant protects wires from corrosion. The small size of the UY connector reduces the splicing bundle O.D. to a minimum. For telecom, datacom, automotive, small appliances and other applications. Package of 100.

• Q: What is an Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC)?
  A: An Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) is a type of electrical connector that allows the secure termination of wires without the need for stripping the insulation. IDC connectors use a special design that displaces or pierces through the insulation when the wire is inserted, making a reliable electrical connection.

• Q: How does an IDC connector work?
  A: The IDC connector consists of a contact or blade with sharp edges that cut through the wire's insulation as it is inserted into the connector. The cutting action ensures a good electrical connection between the wire and the connector.

• Q: Where are IDC connectors commonly used?
  A: IDC connectors are widely used in telecommunications, data communications, computer networking, and various electronics applications. They are commonly found in modular jacks, ribbon cable connectors, and other devices where efficient wire termination is required.

• Q: What is a UY Connector?
  A: A UY Connector is a specific type of IDC connector used for splicing or joining two or more solid copper wires together. It is commonly used in telecommunication and networking applications.

• Q: How does a UY connector work?
  A: The UY connector features gel-filled chambers that accommodate the wires' ends when inserted. The gel acts as a moisture barrier, providing environmental protection for the spliced wires.

• Q: Can UY connectors be used for different wire gauges?
  A: UY connectors are designed for specific wire gauges, typically accommodating solid copper conductors of 19-26 AWG. It is essential to choose the appropriate connector for the specific wire gauge being used.

• Q: Are IDC wire connectors reusable?
  A: IDC wire connectors are typically designed for one-time use. Once the wire is inserted and the connection is made, the connector cannot be easily removed without damaging the wires and the connector itself.

• Q: What is a UY Yellow Connector?
  A: A UY Yellow Connector is a specific variant of the UY connector, identifiable by its yellow color. The color-coding helps differentiate it from other connectors and indicates its specific application.
