implementation of modular electrical systems within structures at
the factory and quick plug-in at the home site.

Stranded Cable Applications

The connectors enable a seamless transition from solid NM cable
to SEOW/SJEW type cable, eliminating the need for wire nuts inside
a junction box.

Two-Circuit Versions

SC Power Splice Connectors are suitable for solid and stranded
nonmetallic sheathed cables. They support various wire sizes and
are used in a wide range of electrical applications for both 110V
and 220V AC circuits.

Three-Circuit Version

This connector is designed for splicing solid nonmetallic cables
with ground. It shares the features of the two-circuit versions and
is commonly used in applications like smoke detectors and
entertainment centers.

SC Power Series Tap Connectors

These connectors are designed for two-circuit SEOW/SJEW cable
versions to facilitate power connections in various
applications.

Weather Tight Boots

The Weather Tight Boot product provides protection for splices
in areas exposed to rain and spray by enclosing the mated SC Power
Connector.

Self-Contained Power Connector Safety Caps and Dust Covers

The Safety Cap and Dust Covers protect unmated connectors from
damage due to dust and dirt accumulation, ensuring the connectors
remain safe for future use.

GUIDE
Self-Contained Power Connectors and Accessories

Self-Contained Power Connectors from Molex are used to splice and tap solid and stranded non-metallic sheathed cable. The connector family supports two and three conductor plus ground circuits for AC power applications. The product line features insulation displacement contacts that provide wire termination without the need to pre-strip the wires. The splice connectors are used to splice two cable segments together and replace butt connectors, wire nuts and junction boxes used in traditional splice applications. Tap connectors operate in a similar fashion and are used to support taps of existing cable segments to create new branch circuits.

Self-Contained Power Connectors

Solid Cable Applications
Typical connector applications for the solid cable-style connectors include crossover electrical connections for pre-wired, pre-fabricated/modular structures and homes. With this connector system, manufactured housing builders can safely and easily implement modular electrical systems within the structures at the factory and then quickly plug them together at the home site. Additional applications include lighting systems and other construction projects.
Stranded Cable Applications
Typical applications for the stranded cable versions of the connectors include splices and taps used for AC power applications in the marine industry. With the SC Power Connectors, marine manufacturers can construct discrete modules for staterooms, salons, and galleys and plug them together in the same electrical system, as the modules are dropped into the hull further down the manufacturing line. These connectors are similar to the solid cable versions described above. Additional applications include shipboard lighting and other electrical connections that may previously have required a junction box. A special version of the SelfContained Power Connector is also available for use with round jacketed, stranded cable including SEOW/SJEW types. Applications for this version include splice applications used in RV slide-out module manufacturing.

Features and Benefits
· A double latching system provides positive connection security but is fully releasable so the connector can be mated and remated as needed during the manufacturing process.
· Once the connector is closed, the strain relief is automatically set in place so screws and human factors are not a concern.
· No special tools are required, just pliers.
· Markable surface area on the housing allows for easy circuit identification, eliminating mis-wiring.
· Double insulation displacement contacts provide maximum conductivity and reduce voltage drop.
· High-impact, crystal clear strain relief cover provides durability and allows for complete visual inspection.
· Simple two-piece construction provides ease of use and eliminates the worry of losing small parts.
· UL listed to be connected and disconnected while under load
· Stranded cable versions are UL Marine listed.
· Hermaphroditic design mates with itself so there is only one part to order and inventory.
· Optional dual mounting holes accept screws or nails.
· Connectors are engineered to meet ABYC, NMMA and US Coast Guard standards.

Traditionally, the procedure involves connecting each wire with a wire nut inside a junction box.

Self-Contained Power Connectors allow users to easily transition from solid NM cable to SEOW/SJEW type cable.

Self-Contained Power Connectors

Two-Circuit Versions
SC Power Splice Connectors are used with solid and stranded nonmetallic sheathed cable. Solid cable versions are available for 14/2, 12/2 and 10/2 wire. Stranded cable versions are available for 16/2, 14/2, 12/2 and 10/2 wire. The connectors are used to wire homes, buildings, office partitions, RVs, motor homes, boats, and many other electrical applications using 110 and 220V AC circuits.
SC Power Splice Connectors have three contacts that accept the solid or stranded conductors found in a twoconductor plus ground. Each terminal makes contact with the conductor via insulation displacement (IDT) contacts. They also help support the conductor and keep it from moving within the connector. Lastly, by having the dual IDT slots, this part operates with virtually no millivolt drop.
Three-Circuit Version
The three-circuit splice connector can be used to splice solid nonmetallic cable 14/3 and 12/3 with ground. This connector has all the same features, assembly methods and agency approvals as the two-circuit versions. It is generally used for the wiring of smoke detectors, three-way lights and entertainment centers.

Two-Circuit SEOW/SJEW Cable Version
The two-circuit SEOW/SJEW versions have been specifically engineered to accommodate round jacketed, stranded conductor power cords typically found in RV slide-out manufacturing applications. These products provide a time-saving alternative over hard wiring junction boxes. The SEOW/ SJEW versions mate with the standard Self-Contained Power Connector products including the tap version, and provide a simple and reliable method for transitioning from solid NM cable to stranded SEOW/SJEW type cable. Designed with the double insulation displacement contact system, the two-circuit SEOW/SJEW cable versions provide maximum conductivity and minimize resistance associated with voltage drops.
SC Power Series Tap Connectors
The SC Tap Splice is used for splicing into an existing solid conductor 14/2 and 12/2 cable with ground. Stranded wire versions are available for 16/2, 14/2 and 12/2 wire. This provides the user with the ability to add an additional branch line or add modular hookups in their products anywhere they are needed. The Molex Tap Splice is compact and fits into walls, floors and ceiling cavities with ease. Once the Tap Connector has been spliced into the cable, the branch line wire to an SC Power Splice Connector can be mated to the Tap.

Weather Tight Boots
Some AC power applications require splices in areas exposed to rain and spray. The Weather Tight Boot product is a two-piece rubber cover that completely encloses the mated SC Power Connector in a splice application.
Self-Contained Power Connector Safety Caps and Dust Covers Safety Caps
The Safety Cap fits securely over the interface area of an unmated SelfContained Power Connector Splice, Tap or Panel Mount Connector. With this product, unmated Self-Contained Connectors can be implemented into designs and remain unmated for future use.
Dust Covers Dust Covers provide an effective solution for protecting unmated circuits from damage due to dust and dirt accumulation.
