Terminalmart is a host to a variety of splice connectors. A butt splice connector is nothing but a cylindrical crimp connector with one crimp on each end. These splices are usually crimped or soldered so that the power from the source cable conducts to the next at a high conductivity rate and pull-out resistance performance level. Splice Connectors make for quick connections (or splices) with two or more pieces of wire. The overall purpose is to connect two separate wires end to end to sustain the electrical current that passes through them, giving a rigid connection that lasts longer than any other means of splicing. The configuration of the device makes it possible to connect multi-conductor cables, both stranded and solid ones, such as standard class B single strand wires or fine-strained multi-wire cables. Given its simple design, simple purpose, and easy to use, such a tool creates a reliable compression-type electrical connection, provided you use high-quality wire crimping tools. One of the best ways to connect two opposing ends of wires into a strong, durable one is with butt connectors. Such a task is a fundamental one for the security and reliability of the entire electrical construction. Splices shall not be installed in areas where the harness is designed to flex.Often referred to as barrel splice in the electrical industry, a butt splice connector is nothing but a form of “crimp” connector used to connect two wires securely to each other and/or to a wire terminal besides terminating them safely as well. Replacement conductors shall be of the same voltage and current rating as the original conductor.

Western Union splices are used for solid conductors.Ĭable ties/lacing shall not be installed across the splice/solder sleeve body, unless sufficient protection is provided to prevent compression damage to the termination and/or to the insulation of adjacent conductors. Tubing is tightly shrunk, with proper strain relief, overlap and no exposed conductive surfaces. The termination is fully wetted, smooth and shiny. Tubing is tightly shrunk with proper strain relief, overlap and no exposed conductive surfaces. Tubing is tightly shrunk with proper strain relief. The termionation is fully wetted, smooth and shiny. Conductor(s) exhibit proper bend radius and strain relief. Overlaps meet minimum electrical spacing, while providing strain relief. Indents are symmetrical and centered on the crimp barrel. The contact has been deformed only by tool indenters.

Final assembly profile shall not impact form, fit or function.Ĭable ties/lacing shall be installed at both ends of a splice or solder sleeve, but placement shall not violate stress relief requirements. The location of splices shall be staggered to minimize the increase in profile to the harness. The splice exhibits a smooth profile, proper strain relief, and is located in an area of the harness not subjected to flexure. See Section 4.01 "Cable and Harness, General Requirements", and Section 6.01 "Through-Hole Soldering, General Requirements", for common accept/reject criteria. CABLE AND HARNESS SPLICES CABLE AND HARNESSĪ splice is the joining of two or more conductors together in a manner that results in a permanent electrical termination and mechanical bond, and may be completed by either crimp or solder process.
