OVERVIEW

Reliable Electrical Connections with Red Butt Splices

When it comes to electrical maintenance and repair operations (MRO), the integrity of your connections is paramount. The Red Insulated Butt Splice for 22-16 AWG wire is an essential component for any technician's toolkit, designed to provide a secure and durable link between two wires. Whether you are repairing control panels, extending wiring harnesses, or performing general electrical upkeep, these connectors ensure that your circuits remain continuous and safe.

Manufactured with a high-conductivity copper core, these butt splices are electro-tin plated to resist corrosion, making them suitable for a wide range of environments. The conductive barrel is encased in a durable vinyl insulation that protects the connection from accidental contact, moisture, and abrasion. The insulation is color-coded red, adhering to industry standards for the 22-16 AWG wire range, which allows for immediate visual identification and prevents the use of incorrect connector sizes during installation.

Ease of Installation

Efficiency is key in industrial settings. These butt connectors feature a flared entry design that guides the wire strands into the barrel, preventing splayed strands and ensuring a clean insertion every time. This feature is particularly beneficial when working in tight spaces or with stranded wire that can be difficult to manage. Installation is straightforward: simply strip the wire ends, insert them into the splice, and crimp using a standard insulated terminal crimping tool. The result is a mechanically strong and electrically sound connection that withstands vibration and thermal expansion.

Versatile Applications

These connectors are rated for up to 600 volts, making them versatile enough for most low-voltage commercial and industrial applications. From fixing lighting fixtures to repairing machinery wiring, the 22-16 AWG Red Butt Splice is a go-to solution for professionals who demand quality and reliability in their electrical components. Stocking these connectors ensures you are always prepared for unexpected electrical repairs, minimizing downtime and maintaining operational efficiency.

FAQ

Red butt splices are industry-standard color-coded for wire gauges between 22 AWG and 16 AWG.

Yes, you should use a crimping tool specifically designed for insulated terminals to ensure a secure and safe connection without damaging the insulation.

Standard vinyl-insulated butt splices are not waterproof. For moisture-prone areas, it is recommended to use heat shrink tubing over the splice or use heat shrink butt connectors.

Yes, they can be used for solid wire, but they are most commonly and effectively used with stranded copper wire.

These insulated butt splices are typically rated for up to 600 volts, making them suitable for most general electrical applications.

Strip approximately 1/4 inch (6-7mm) of insulation from the end of each wire, insert into the splice barrel, and crimp firmly.

The conductive barrel is made of copper, usually with tin plating to prevent corrosion and improve conductivity.

No, crimping is required to create the mechanical bond and electrical connection. Tape alone will not hold the wires together or provide electrical continuity.
