Specialist Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Are these jelly connectors only any use for solid core cable (BT)? Hi Mate: BG Home security used to supply these to us for joints in Alarm cables, twist the 2 wires together first insert into terminal and crimp. Warning: Make sure you use the proper tool as a normal pair of pliers does not do the job properly, these are also available from mills. Both connectors and crimp tools are also available from: www.comtec-comms.com but these are a strictly trade only supplier. Regards: Andy@Amman Security. Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us.

Specialist Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 should never be used on alarm cable IMO Have to be honest mate, despite having used hundreds of these over the years on Alarm & Telecom cables I have never had a problem with them and this was what the original post asked about. If you want a NON IDC crimp connector then the Closed end wire connector is a good choice, these are available from several firms including CEF and provide a good but NON watertight connection that can be crimped with a standard crimper, the smallest one is I believe the CE-1 and accepts stranded or unstranded wires form 0.5mm - 1.75mm but are obviously more expensive.

SUBS Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Seems like I've gone through a 1000 BT type jelly connectors in a flash. Anyone know where's the best place to buy a load of these and get a good deal? I got some from Evey Security trade counter last time, Girl behind the counter didnt know what they were, so said they didnt stock them,but another customer persuaded her, and surprise surprise, loads in stock cos' no one ever asked for them before...........! ! they list them as scotchlock uy2 connectors. Cheap as well. if I remember right, about 2.50 per 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
