Takes four #12 solid & stranded copper wires
3Innovation
Introducing the new 412 spring connector from 3M. The 412
connector is the latest connector offered by 3M in response to
the requests of our customers. What makes the 412 different
from other tan connectors with hexagon shaped heads?
• A wider spring opening enables easier and faster insertion
of larger wire combinations than with other tan connectors.
• The 412 is UL listed for up to four 12 awg solid and
stranded wires.
• The 412 molded insulator resists warping and expansion
when pushed to the upper limits of its wire ranges.
A quick-biting spring, broad wire range, comfortable feel, a
family of products to meet all your wire connecting needs; all
while providing the quality, reliability and durability you’ve
come to expect from 3M.
412 Connector
• Broad wire range
• Hexagon shaped head fits 5/16” socket
• Compatible with existing application tools
(WCD-P and WCD-H)
• Quick-biting spring
• Easy application and back-off
