9715 Sheltap® Series, Wire Splice Connectors

Wire splice connector terminals are essential components used for making safe and secure electrical connections between two or more wires. These connectors come in different types, including insulated or non-insulated varieties, and are designed to accommodate different wire gauges and connection methods, such as crimping, soldering, friction, screw, IDC, or wire nut (twist on). The selection of the appropriate wire splice connector terminal depends on the number and gauge of the wires being joined. The most common types of wire splice connector terminals include butt splice, closed end, single opening, crimp band, open band, inline, and tap. Butt splice connectors are designed for joining two wires end-to-end, while closed end connectors provide a sealed and protected splice. Single opening connectors feature a single port for connecting two wires. Crimp band connectors have a metal sleeve that is crimped over the wires to establish a secure connection. Open band connectors are similar to crimp band connectors, but they feature a split body design that allows for easy installation. Inline connectors join two wires along the same axis, while tap connectors allow for a new connection to be made without disturbing the existing wiring. Wire splice connector terminals are crucial in ensuring that electrical connections are secure and reliable. They provide a convenient way to join wires of different gauges and types, and their versatility in accommodating various connection methods makes them ideal for use in a wide range of applications.
