Connect a tap wire to a main wire without stripping—these wire taps penetrate insulation. To install, squeeze the tap with standard pliers; a built-in U-shaped metal contact penetrates the insulation and grips the wire.

UL 94 V-2 or V-0 rated taps meet flammability standards.

Tap a wire or add a finished terminal to the end of a wire. The parallel taps quickly connect to your wire without stripping the wire first. Squeeze the tap with standard pliers and the U-shaped contact pierces the insulation and grips the wire. Insert a snap plug into the parallel tap. Parallel tap and snap plug are sold separately.

No wire stripping is required—these connectors pierce the insulation.

Gel-filled connectors protect your connection from corrosion, humidity, water, and dirt.

Crimper (sold separately) is required for wire installation.

The threaded end of these M8 connectors keeps contaminants out and withstands vibration better than RJ45 ends on traditional Ethernet cords. They are often used with sensors, switches, and I/O modules. To protect against signal interference, these connectors are shielded. Connectors are Power over Ethernet (POE) enabled to carry data and power within one connector.

Snap-on wire connections pierce wire insulation, eliminating the need for wire stripping. They maintain a secure hold in high-vibration applications.

These connectors are IP rated when mated. IP65 rated connectors protect against dust and low-pressure jets of water. IP67 rated connectors keep out dust and water from temporary submersion.

Unlike traditional RJ45 connectors found in data centers, these connectors stand up to rugged industrial environments since they tightly thread to devices with M12 connections, sealing out contaminants and resisting shaking loose from vibration. Use them to transfer high-speed data between sensors, switches, computers, IO modules, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and other equipment. They can also power devices as they send data, so you don’t need a separate power cord. But, the device must be Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatible. These connectors are often used with EtherNet/IP, Profinet, and EtherCAT systems. Since they’re shielded, they block signal interference from nearby devices, maintaining their speed and data integrity. Poles and keyways on the face adhere to standard coding layouts to reduce the chance you’ll mismatch connections.

When choosing an Ethernet connector, make sure you match or exceed your network’s category industry designation. These connectors are backward compatible—for example, a Category 6 connector will work in a Category 5 network, but it’ll only run at the Category 5 speed.

A-coded and X-coded connectors send data faster than D-coded connectors, so they’re best for robotics and other systems that run multi-step programs.

Connectors with a snap-on wire connection pierce the wire’s insulation, which means you don’t need to strip it.

IP rated connectors keep out dust and can be used in wet areas when mated or capped. IP65 connectors can be lightly rinsed. IP67 connectors can be submerged temporarily.

Add caps to protect connectors and maintain their IP ratings when not in use.

Also known as pico connectors, these are for low-current devices such as 8 mm and smaller proximity switches and photoelectric switches.

Protect connections in washdown environments while maintaining access—these RJ45 plugs and adapters latch together securely, yet quickly detach. When mated, they’re rated IP65 and IP67 for protection against washdowns and temporary submersion. All are shielded to prevent electromagnetic interference.

Plugs have a snap-on wire connection that pierces the insulation to eliminate the need for wire stripping.

Snap these receptacles into a cutout on an electrical panel—no screws or clips needed. They have snap-on terminals that pierce wire insulation, eliminating the need for wire stripping during wire installation.

Because they tightly thread to M12 connections, these connectors won’t let contaminants in or come loose from vibration in rugged industrial environments and automated systems as they send power and signal or just power to your equipment. Their poles and keyways adhere to standard coding layouts, reducing the chance you’ll mismatch connectors.

A- and C-coded connectors send both power and signal, while K-, L-, S-, and T-coded connectors only send power. Choose A-coded connectors for AC and DC sensors, actuators, motors, light curtains, and other devices. They’re often used to connect equipment to IO Link controllers and within Profibus, DeviceNet, and other fieldbus systems. 90° elbow connectors run your cord along the side of equipment, so they fit behind machines and in tight spaces.

Connectors with a snap-on wire connection pierce the wire’s insulation, so you don’t need to strip it.IP67 and IP68 rated connectors can withstand brief submersion. Add caps to protect connectors and maintain their IP and NEMA ratings when not in use.

Protect equipment from electromagnetic interference. Connectors have a snap-on wire connection that pierces the insulation to eliminate the need for wire stripping. A color-coded wiring guide allows for quick cable termination.

Plugs with a cord grip offer strain relief and keep the cable securely attached in applications that require frequent movement, such as robotics.

Plugs with an adjustable-angle elbow let you choose a 0°-90° bend angle while installing. Good when space is tight around the port, you can rotate them into 32 positions.

Eliminate the need for wire stripping; snap-on terminals pierce the wire insulation. Access the wire connection by opening the hinged housing. Also known as hospital-grade plugs, these have an extra-tight fit when mated with sockets or receptacles to remain secure in high-vibration environments. The housing is impact-resistant plastic.

Note: The current rating of your plug should not exceed that of your socket or receptacle.

Match these circuit breakers to Square D breaker boxes or panel boards of the same manufacturer series. They meet UL 489 requirements for branch circuit protection, so they protect downstream equipment and wiring from overloads and short circuits. Because they are thermal-magnetic, these breakers trip two different ways. They either trip when heat is generated by sustained low-level overload current or quickly when the magnetic coil senses a high-current short circuit.

Circuit breakers with ground fault sensitivity will trip if they detect a current leak above 6mA. This minimizes the risk of electric shock to workers and equipment.

Breakthrough current is the maximum current that the circuit breaker can safely stop in the event of a short circuit.
