    Inline Entry

    These tap/connectors join larger wire sizes, such as power and control cable in distribution panels. Insert your main wire into a port, then insert tap wires into the other ports and tighten the set screws. The wires lock in place for a consistent and durable connection.
    Single-Sided Entry—Insert all your wires from the same side. The slim profile fits better in crowded panels and boxes than dual-sided entry tap/connectors.
    Dual-Sided Entry—Stagger multiple wires running from opposite directions—especially rigid wire that won't bend around the connector. For a safe flow of current, attach only one wire per port. Wires connected on both sides may overload the port, causing the connector to overheat and fail.
    Inline Entry—Connect wires from opposite directions to create a straight run. Similar to butt splices.
    Aluminum and Copper (For Joining Dissimilar Metals)—Aluminum and copper don't play well together, but these connectors keep them in line. They cover the wires with an antioxidant compound so the aluminum wire—and the whole connection—won't oxidize and corrode.

    Flip a clamp onto your wire instead of crimping to speed up installations and reuse your splice later. Choose these splices for setups that change often, such as prototypes and testing. They even have test sockets to safely test voltage after installation.

    Fully Insulated

    A step up in grip strength and strain relief over standard butt splices. After crimping your splice, apply a heat gun to shrink the plastic and grip wire securely under tension and vibration. The heat shrink also protects wire from the drips, dirt, and scuffs that lead to fraying, poor conductivity, and short circuits.
    Polyolefin Insulation—A durable, economical choice when you don't need the extra wear resistance of nylon.

    Single-Sided Entry

    Offset Entry

    Plugged and sealed at every opening, these tap/connectors protect wire from groundwater and rocky soil. The trim-to-size port plugs create a tight seal where the wire enters. The other plugs have double O-rings to seal off gaps around the set screws.
    Single-Sided Entry—Insert all your wires from the same side. The slim profile fits better in crowded panels and boxes than dual-sided entry tap/connectors.
    Offset Entry—Attach wires running from opposite directions—especially rigid wire that won't bend around the connector. The connection points are staggered so that current flows freely instead of concentrating in one spot and causing a fault.
    Aluminum and Copper (For Joining Dissimilar Metals)—Aluminum and copper don't play well together, but these connectors keep them in line. They cover the wires with an antioxidant compound so the aluminum wire—and the whole connection—won't oxidize and corrode.

    A step up in grip strength and strain relief over standard crimp-on wire connectors. First, twist your wires together and crimp them in the connector. Then, apply a heat gun to shrink the insulation and hold wires securely under tension and vibration. The heat shrink also protects wire from the drips, dirt, and scuffs that lead to fraying, poor conductivity, and short circuits.

    Connect large wires of different sizes, as thick as 4/0 AWG. Colored stripes differentiate the larger and smaller openings so you don't have to measure and mark them yourself. Check the color coding, wire gauge, and compression die reference number on the splice to match it with the right compression tool.
    With Window—Troubleshoot bad connections without removing your splice. The splice has a cutout where the wires meet, so you can confirm at a glance that they're crimped evenly and haven't loosened.

    Our tightest-holding connectors secure wire through heavy vibration and sharp tugs. Apply a heat gun or butane torch to shrink the insulation and firmly grip the wire. As the connector heats up, the enclosed solder melts around the wire for a stronger, more rigid connection than unsoldered wire.

    Noninsulated

    Connect two components with different wire sizes, such as a large air compressor and its control panel. Also known as step-down splices, these splices join a larger wire and a smaller wire end to end. Colored stripes differentiate the larger and smaller openings so you don't have to measure and mark them yourself. Attach your wire with a crimping tool to avoid a damaged splice and loose connection.
