Description: ASK Power’s Super Heavy Duty Butt Splices for cable splices incorporate chamfered entry and long crimp barrels. Featuring tinned Military Spec. plating formed from high-purity annealed copper with heavy duty walls, these splices provide excellent ductility, conductivity, secureness, and tang strength. Splices accommodate wire sizes 8 Gauge through 4/0 AWG and from 250-1000 MCM. Crimp barrels are sized to closely match commercial battery and power cable strand diameters. Cable splices are non-insulated and suitable for crimped or soldered wire connection. UL mark and wire gauge appear clearly on wire barrel.

Recommended Uses: These cable splices are used for power transmission and/or grounding in telcom, electrical, and transformer applications. Chamfering improves ease of insertion of more highly-stranded battery cable into funnel-entry crimp barrels.

Tooling and Application: Cable splices can be applied to cable via hand-actuated or hydraulic crimp tools. Our Super Heavy Duty Butt Splices are UL Listed (UL 486 A) for use with the Thomas and Betts M5 tool or the Burndy tool. These same cable splices can be connected by solder-dipping. A double crimp provides superior pullout resistance. Color-coding provides field installation guidance, matching cable, lug, and crimper color codes per industry-accepted standards.
