IDEAL Electrical IDC Connector 85-925 UR-I Solid Butt Splice Red 25pk

Description

Product Overview

The IDEAL 85-925 UR‑I IDC connector is engineered to provide a dependable solid‑butt splice solution for 19‑26 AWG (0.4‑0.9 mm) solid copper conductors. Constructed from high‑quality copper alloy, each connector features a moisture‑resistant seal that protects the splice from corrosion, even in humid or outdoor environments. The design follows industry standards for split‑bolt connectors, ensuring a secure mechanical lock and consistent electrical performance. With a compact footprint of 5.8 × 2.8 × 1 inches and a weight of just 1.6 oz, the connector is easy to handle and store. The product is supplied in a convenient 25‑piece pack, allowing electricians, hobbyists, and maintenance professionals to complete multiple splicing tasks without interruption.

Usage

This connector is ideal for a wide range of low‑voltage applications, including automotive wiring, household lighting circuits, control panels, and hobbyist projects such as robotics or model railroading. It excels in situations where a quick, reliable splice is required without the need to strip insulation from the wire. The connector accepts unstripped conductors, and a single crimp using the standard 33‑719 tool creates a permanent, low‑resistance joint. Whether you are repairing a broken wire, extending an existing circuit, or adding a new branch to a system, the IDEAL 85‑925 provides a fast, repeatable solution that meets or exceeds industry expectations.

FAQ

What wire sizes can this connector accommodate?

The IDEAL 85‑925 is rated for solid copper conductors ranging from 19 AWG to 26 AWG, which corresponds to diameters of approximately 0.4 mm to 0.9 mm.

Do I need to strip the wire before crimping?

No. The connector is designed for unstripped conductors. Simply insert the wire into the barrel and apply a single crimp with a 33‑719 tool for a secure connection.

Is the connector suitable for high‑current applications?

This model is intended for low‑voltage, low‑current applications such as lighting, control circuits, and signal wiring. For higher current loads, a larger split‑bolt connector should be selected.

Can the connector be used outdoors?

Yes. The moisture‑resistant seal provides protection against humidity and light exposure, making it suitable for outdoor installations where the splice may be exposed to the elements.

What tool is required for crimping?

The connector is compatible with the standard IDEAL 33‑719 crimping tool. This tool delivers the correct pressure to deform the barrel and lock the conductors in place.
