Scotchlok 3M 314 waterproof cable connector

This cable connector has a gel filling that seals the connection of solenoid valves in the valve box in a watertight manner.

Up to 3 cables can be connected with one connector.

• Original cable connector from 3M Scotchlok
• No stripping necessary!
• Waterproof, moisture resistant, weather resistant
• suitable for burial
• Gel filling guarantees a permanently weatherproof connection of the wire
• Operating temperature: min -40°C, max 140°C
• Cable cross-section up to 3.8mm
• Nominal cross section 0.5-1.5mm
• Rated current: 15A up to 600V

For the wiring of solenoid valves we recommend the following quantity:

Since each solenoid valve has 2 wires, but one of them can be grouped as "COMMON", you need 2x as many wire connectors as solenoid valves - 1. Why? Because in order to connect the “COMMON” connectors together, an incoming wire and an outgoing wire must be connected, so there is only one connector available per connector – except for the last one, there are two.

Or expressed as a formula (for number of solenoid valves >= 2):

n = 2 x (number of solenoid valves) -1

Examples:

3 cable connectors for 2 solenoid valves
5 cable connectors for 3 solenoid valves
7 cable connectors for 4 solenoid valves
9 cable connectors for 5 solenoid valves
etc.
Only for a SINGLE solenoid valve the formula does not fit, for that you need TWO connectors!

Installation:

1. Push the cable ends with insulation into the connector up to the end. If the cable ends are already stripped, cut them off.
2. Then use a pair of pliers (e.g. combination pliers) to press the blue part completely into the housing.
3. Check the tightness of the cables by gently pulling on them.
4. Ready

Note:

These cable connectors are intended for outdoor or valve box installation where the cables come in contact with rain or irrigation water. Use them for this purpose only!
