Tap-In Bullet Receptacle: Quick, Reusable Electrical Connections for 18-14 AWG Wires

Tap-In Bullet Receptacles provide a fast, efficient, and reusable method for tapping into existing wires without the need for cutting or stripping. These innovative connectors allow you to tap directly into 18-14 AWG solid or stranded copper wires, making them a versatile solution for mid-span wire connections. The tap-in design simplifies wiring tasks, enabling users to create secure electrical splices in seconds. By pairing with a .156" male bullet connector, these receptacles form a reusable plug-style connection, allowing for quick disconnections and reconfigurations as needed.

Made from high-quality materials, the insulator is crafted from durable polypropylene, while the U-contact is made from tin-plated copper, providing excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Tap-in bullet receptacles are designed to handle 18-gauge (7 amps), 16-gauge (10 amps), and 14-gauge (15 amps) copper conductors, whether solid, stranded, tinned, or untinned (0.75-1.5 mm²). Built to endure demanding conditions, they are rated for up to 600V and can withstand temperatures up to 105°C (221°F). While these connectors are not UL or CSA listed, they provide strong, dependable performance in a variety of electrical applications.

Tap-In Bullet Receptacles are ideal for wiring installations in automotive, marine, trailer lighting, and general electrical projects where quick, non-permanent splicing is required. Their reusable design allows for easy upgrades, adjustments, and repairs, saving time and effort compared to traditional splice methods. For electricians, technicians, and DIY enthusiasts, these connectors provide a simple, effective way to tap into existing circuits with minimal disruption to the original wiring.
