Flow & Level Control. Hopefully this article can serve as a helpful guide, but we know nothing beats talking with an expert. Each wire terminal is lined with a polyolefin adhesive glue so that when crimped onto the wire ends and heated the terminal is completely sealed against air and water. The connection is sealed by crimping the connector around the wire individually, and the ring within the connector carries current between both cables. HL57-16 - 22-18 AWG - Clear/Red Dash - Side 1: Red - Red (22-18 AWG) - Side 2: Blue - Blue (16-14 AWG). Heat shrink tubing recovers and forms a watertight seal. Made from stamped rolled and butted metal. A butt splice connector looks like the heat shrink connector, but it is a crimp connector rather than relying on heated solder. Features & Benefits. Really great connectors at a really great price! Currently available for wire sizes from 22 gauge down to 10 gauge. Our Sealed Crimp Connector product line is the finest line of "crimp-and-seal" connectors on the market today. All you have to do is insert your prepped wire into each end of the butt splice and crimp with a hand tool.
A heat shrink splice is performed by inserting the wires into either end of a cylindrical heat shrink sleeve that contains a ring of solder. Must be properly crimped to avoid opening the seam. Plumbing and Janitorial. 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. The tubing has an active adhesive that seals multiple wires and eliminates wire pull-out. Click on the desired gauge and use the drop down menu for price and quantity. Designed with all sorts of innovative characteristics, you never have to second guess crimping again. Sealed Crimp & Solder Connectors are crimped for mechanical reliability, soldered for superior strength and conductivity, and sealed for maximum durability. Heat Shrink & Solder Ring Terminals. Then, a sleeve of heat shrink is applied to seal. Maximum voltage rating of 600 volts, so these connectors work well for both 12 volt and 24 volt splicing, as well as 120 volt and 240 volt. If there's a "best-kept-secret" of wire splicing, it is auto-splice machinery. Butt connectors are easy to crimp and will not split.
Features & Benefits: - Unique Heat Shrink Tubing Connector. Only the finest components, and an expanded product selection place Sealed Crimp Connectors squarely at the top of the class. Additional Product Information. Any HTML tags (such as links) will be automatically removed, this helps us to reduce spam. Color-coded tubing with wire gauge imprint provides easy identification of the correct part for the job. Heat Shrinkable Step Down Butt Connectors - Crystal Clear. No wire damage due to low temperature heat shrink tubing recovery (Recovery starts at 176°F). When you purchase 1 or more Heat Shrink. We'll provide you with a fast quote (standard time is three days, can be as quick as same-day) and recommend manufacturability improvements. Made from one seamless piece of metal ensuring that the barrel remains intact. From a labor standpoint, it is more cost-effective than soldering but still requires manual effort and hand tooling to perform. Auto-splice machines are capable of performing wire-to-wire splices as well as wire-to-board splices and are useful for almost any connection, so long as the cables themselves aren't too large.
Dual wall heat shrink tubing was designed to protect your electrical connections from harsh environments. These high quality durable wire terminals have superior tensile strength and provide the added advantage of better wire contact allowing for greater current flow. This versatile connector can be crimped on any side of the barrel without causing the seam to open. Unlike their vinyl and nylon counterparts, heat shrink butt connectors are able to stand up to the harsh marine and automotive environments. This technology saves you time and eliminates the need for using heat shrink tubing over the crimp. The auto-splice machine performs a crimp connection with a spool of brass-coated copper, which it cuts into a blank, stamps and forms a crimp around the wires. These butt connectors can be crimped using the insulated crimp nest on any ordinary crimping tool. Pressure & Temperate Control. Each wire connector is a clear tube for visual inspection, there are color stripes on the end of the terminal to indicate which crimp to use, colored dashes are on the tubing indicate the wire AWG, and small imprints along the HydraLink wire connector indicate where the barrel should be crimped for a perfect termination.
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. HL57-20 - 24-22 AWG - Clear/White Dash - Side 1: White - White (24-22 AWG) - Side 2: Red - Red (22-18 AWG). Used on stranded wire only. Heat Shrink, Closed End Connectors, 18-10 AWG, Clear/Yellow, Qty 1000. Crimp Solder & Seal Quick Disconnects. HL8-22-14 - 22-14 AWG - Clear/Blue Dash. Features & Benefits: - Translucent, adhesive-lined polyolefin tubing allows visual inspection, prevents wire corrosion, and provides a waterproof seal.
Office Supplies & Signs. Applications: - Automotive- we follow automotive manufacturers' specifications for wiring repairs so that electrical warranties can be maintained. Please rate the selected product out of 5. Color stripe die indicator. Wide range operating temperature (from -67°F to 257°F). I would like to be added to the Grote Industries email marketing list. When you want the best splice connector for your application, use a heat shrink insulated butt connector. Sealed Crystal Clear Connectors are designed to provide optimal visual assurance that the termination. Made from stamped, rolled and butted metal that has the seam brazed together with a solder alloy.
Just like with any other method, wire will need to be cut, stripped and cleaned prior in order to perform the best splice. Available in quantities of 5, 25 and 100 pieces. It's a simple splice to perform and requires minimal equipment and labor beyond preparing the wires. If the conductors aren't well-connected before soldering you could end up with a dry solder prone to inconsistent connectivity.
In any case where a butt splice is used, an auto-splice machine could take its place to save money and production time without sacrificing quality. Thicker copper barrels mean stronger crimps. Soldered terminations provide superior tensile strength and conductivity. It is made for smaller gauge wire and provides a way to make a simple connection for uses in electrical wiring. Soldering is the most common method for wire splicing in custom cable production, and it is the most reliable.
