Designed with all sorts of innovative characteristics, you never have to second guess crimping again. Tinned cooper barrels ensure maximum current flow. Thicker copper barrels mean stronger crimps. Our website requires JavaScript. The auto-splice is far simpler than the soldering iron to learn and provides some relief on that front to manufacturers struggling with staffing and training. Once the connection has been crimped, heat shrink tubing is used to create a seal.
Must be properly crimped to avoid opening the seam. Seamless butt connectors & brazed seam rings and spades prevent opening of connector barrel. Plenty of custom cable specialists will use auto-splice machinery, but it is worth making sure your supplier has the tooling available, especially if you want to produce at scale. This closed end crimp connector allows you to join together multiple wires at once. Fastening & Joining. From a labor standpoint, it is more cost-effective than soldering but still requires manual effort and hand tooling to perform. Double Female Bullet Receptacle. Conforms to automotive manufacturers' specifications for wiring repairs, necessary for maintaining electrical warranties. With the right quality-control measures in place, using an auto-splice machine could make tons of sense for your facility or for your suppliers. HL8-18-10 - 18-10 AWG - Clear/Yellow Dash. Our heat shrink connectors provide durable long lasting electrical connections. It's a simple splice to perform and requires minimal equipment and labor beyond preparing the wires. Machine-splicing is nearly as reliable as soldering in terms of connection integrity and far more efficient.
Heat Shrinkable Ring Terminals - Crystal Clear. You just don't have enough control over the solder as an operator. Brazed Seam Wire Connectors. Color dash wire size indicator. What's the difference between Butted, Brazed and Seamless Wire Terminals? This versatile connector can be crimped on any side of the barrel without causing the seam to open. Made from one seamless piece of metal ensuring that the barrel remains intact.
Splice and connect wires easily with HydraLink Sealed Multiple Wire Closed End and In-Line Butt Connectors. Available in quantities of 5, 25 and 100 pieces. Currently available for wire sizes from 22 gauge down to 10 gauge. Part # - Description - Tubing Color - Color Stripe on Connector - Crimp Die (Insulated). Wire connectors of this type are sometimes known as crimp connectors, because crimping the insert helps to hold the connection in place. Heat shrink insulation protects against corrosion and moisture, and add in the adhesive inner lining that flows with heat and makes the splice waterproof and environmentally sealed. Metri-Pack® 150 Series. No wire damage due to low temperature heat shrink tubing recovery (Recovery starts at 176°F). However, since all that's needed is the connector itself and a heat gun, it can be a preferred method for field maintenance when a soldering iron is unavailable. Flow & Level Control. Please rate the selected product out of 5.
The machine's operator has full control of the machine's motor with a foot-pedal and can process far greater throughput than with a soldering iron. Only the finest components, and an expanded product selection place Sealed Crimp Connectors squarely at the top of the class. 12-10 to 8AWG, Yellow dash, In-line, Multi Wire Butt Connectors, Heat Shrink, Crimp Seal, Qty 50. Dual wall heat shrink tubing was designed to protect your electrical connections from harsh environments. When you purchase 1 or more Heat Shrink. Clear tubing allows for visual inspection. Dual-wall tubing will shrink down.
Best butt connectors ensure your wire will not slip out of the crimp. Is installed properly and offers visual inspection of the wire condition over the life of the termination. One is to not get your solder hot and fluid enough, resulting in a "cold solder, " which provides a brittle, unreliable connection. HL8-22-14 - 22-14 AWG - Clear/Blue Dash. In environments where corrosion and/or vibration are a problem, the closed-end connectors can be used to replace wire nuts and other similar connectors. It's important for you to be sure you're using the proper die with the machine for each different size wire you splice. Manufactured in the U. S. A. Otherwise, connections will either be too tight or too loose to be reliable. Our huge selection of Heat Shrink Sealed Crimp Connectors are available in: Butt connectors, Step-down Butt Connectors, Male Quick Disconnect, Male Fully Insulated Quick Disconnect, Female Quick Disconnect, Female Fully Insulated Quick Disconnect, Piggyback Connectors, Flag Connectors, Spade Connectors, Flange Spade, Ring Terminals, Hook Terminals, Male Bullet Connectors, Female Bullet Connectors, and Spring Spade. If the conductors aren't well-connected before soldering you could end up with a dry solder prone to inconsistent connectivity. Excellent splicing connector for marine, automotive, and outdoor use. Plumbing and Janitorial.
I consent to my data being processed and published by Grote Industries. Vinyl Quick Disconnects. Splicing is an important part of custom cable assembly, and there are several methods by which splicing can be performed. Closed-End Shrink Butt Connectors.
While soldering provides the most secure connection for your splice, it is by far the most labor-intensive method. Then, heat-shrink can be used to cover the splice and provide the seal. For this reason, we never use this method ourselves and don't recommend it for production. Any HTML tags (such as links) will be automatically removed, this helps us to reduce spam. Convenient reusable case is included for easy access and storage. Get a quote for custom cable assemblies. At around 14-gauge or bigger, the auto-splice is no longer reliable, and you'll have to get the soldering iron out. The nylon covering acts as insulation for the copper insert. When there is no margin for error, choose Sealed Crimp & Solder Connectors. Hopefully this article can serve as a helpful guide, but we know nothing beats talking with an expert. Click on the desired gauge and use the drop down menu for price and quantity. The in-line butt connector is the solution for problems that may result from the use of these. Adhesive will flow and seal the wire ends making your connection waterproof.
8 for Red (22-16 AWG). Soldering is the most common method for wire splicing in custom cable production, and it is the most reliable. HL57-16 - 22-18 AWG - Clear/Red Dash - Side 1: Red - Red (22-18 AWG) - Side 2: Blue - Blue (16-14 AWG). HL57-10 - 12-10 AWG - Clear/Yellow Dash - Side 1: Yellow - Yellow (12-10 AWG) - Side 2: Red - Red (8 AWG). If you have any questions about wire splicing, tooling or designing connections for manufacturability, please reach out. This is a response from the server. Three of the most common splices are: Let's talk about them in order of least effective to most effective, and then we'll get into the details of an alternative option: the machine-splice. The wires in question are connected manually (people have different methods, many twist the wires around each other like a "lineman's splice"), and solder is heated with a soldering iron until it liquifies to fill and envelop the connection.
