The i-Clamp insulation displacement connector (IDC) from Keystone facilitates wire connections without stripping wires. It neatly pierces the wire insulation and makes a secure connection without needing wire nuts or electrical tape.
Keystone's new connector has a copper contact housed inside of a durable translucent polycarbonate, which allows it to carry out the visual inspection of the connections. Moreover, it permits the i-Clamp connectors the voltage usage of up to 277 Vac.
The new connectors are able to withstand shock and vibration and can be used with wires from 10 to 22 AWG. Also, these i-Clamp connectors are available in three different versions in order to accommodate all common wire connectivity configurations.
The T-Series wire connectors are used for branching off a common wire run to ensure a connection without cutting or stripping insulation. Next, the Two-Way Series of i-Clamp connectors feature a unique dual channel that enables pre-assembly to a component or fixture.
Therefore, once installed, wiring can be completed by simply attaching the other clamp channel to the existing wiring. Finally, the One-Way Series wire connectors splice several lines together more securely than traditional methods of twisting wires together and holding in place with an electrical nut and tape.
