Can anyone identify this type of crimp please?

it's a push on maintnence free connector. Looks like the ones made be 'ideal'

Ideal only seem to sell boxes of 100

wago do similar virtually identical in boxes of 20 but not sure if they do a 3 port one
available from both "city" and "edmunson" wholesalers

https://www.wagobox.com/shop/wago-773-2273-pushwire-electrical-connectors

However with both makes not all are certified as MF it only seems to be on the newer stock packaging, if that matters in your case

I don't know about Ideal, but I don't think that any Wago connectors are, per se, 'certified' or marked as 'MF'. It's the WagoBoxes which are marked 'MF' and there are strict rules as to what Wago connectors can be within them, and doing what (in terms of currents), for the Wago+WagoBox combination to be 'MF'. Almost immediately the Amendment to the regs appeared, Wago started putting stickers with the MF symbol on their WagoBoxes, but it didn't seem to take long before ones with embossed MF symbols got into much of the supply chain. AFAIAA Wago connectors not in Wagoboxes still do not count as 'MF'in terms of the regs.

Kind Regards, John

HT = Hellermann Tyton (Much better product than Wago)

screwfix now sells these, so I expect they will be used a lot more.
