NewTrend · insulation-displacement branch connectors
Product overview
The blue Y-812 quick-splice connector adds a branch connection to an existing conductor without stripping its insulation or cutting the through wire. A metal contact blade is pressed into position with pliers, and the hinged insulating cover closes over the connection.

Position the through and branch conductors
Open the cover and place the through conductor in the open channel. Insert the branch conductor into the separate branch opening. Use conductors within the AWG18–14, 0.75–2.5mm² range and seat both wires fully before pressing the contact blade.
Press the contact blade
With the circuit isolated, use suitable pliers to press the metal blade firmly into the housing. The insulation-displacement contact joins the two conductors without a separate stripping operation. Keep the conductors correctly positioned while applying pressure.
Close and check the connection
After the blade is fully seated, close the hinged insulating cover and engage its latch. Check that the cover is secure and that neither conductor is loose or strained. The installation photographs show the blue connector during pressing and the completed branch arrangement.
Outline and size
The blue connector is 27mm long and 20mm wide. The outline below identifies the length and width directions and the hinged-cover arrangement.
Typical applications
For conductor branching in equipment, vehicle accessories, lighting and other wiring installations where this connector type and its current rating are suitable. Install within an appropriate enclosure or protected wiring location and provide circuit protection suitable for the conductor size.
