Original Press Release:
3M O/B+ Connector is Small but Does a Big Job
AUSTIN, Texas - December 3, 2004 - The improved 3M O/B+ connector will help electrical contractors do more with less. The O/B+ (orange/blue) connector combines an already small shell with a wider range spring.
The improved spring bites wire quickly with less effort and accommodates; from two #22 awg wires up to three #12 wires or four #14 wires. This wide wire range eliminates the need for yellow, orange, blue and grey connectors so contractors save money by buying fewer connector types. The small shell fits easily into tight spaces, and its flexible skirt helps protect workers from contact with overstripped wires.
