Their economical pricing and ease of use make them common in electrical systems. Heat shrink butt splices create an environmentally sealed connection to handle harsh conditions. They are simple to use. First, make sure you have correctly stripped the wires to the proper length. Inside the butt splice, you will see an indentation your wires should butt up against. Be careful to make sure that the butt splice and the wire insulation are touching. Otherwise, you run the risk of damaging the wire due to exposure. So, the stripped wire is inserted into one side of the butt splice and crimped with the proper tool. This crimp bends the connector around the wire, creating a solid connection. Next, you simply repeat the process on the other side. Alternatively, you can crimp the other end, creating a dead end. Before you heat it, dont forget the tug test. Once your wire is properly crimped, apply heat to the butt splice working outward. Be careful not to burn the butt splice or the wire insulation. And now youve created a durable, environmentally protected connection. Remember, butt splices are useful for their rapid installation and durability. Other methods of connection may not offer the same level of protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTerminals are a necessity for any electrical system. Heat shrink butt splices provide a rugged, environmentally sealed connection that is meant to last. These butt splices are designed for use with 8 AWG wires. How do you use 8 AWG heat shrink butt splices You start by preparing your wires. This means cutting and stripping them to the correct length. Every butt splice has an internal indentation of it where your wires should meet. So now, you insert the wire into the butt splice, making sure the tip touches the indentation. Using the proper tool, you need to crimp the side of the butt splice, which creates a solid connection. Repeat the process on the other side of the butt splice. Next, perform a tug test to make sure that the wires do not pull out. After that, use the proper heat gun or torch to correctly heat the outer heat shrink. Why use 8 AWG heat shrink butt splices Heat shrink butt splices offer the highest level of protection available. By using these splices, users are creating a moisture-proof seal that will last. Heat shrink butt splices protect connections from physical abuse and abrasion. They also protect from water, salt, and other corrosive compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects terminations from water, condensation, salt spray, and corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdded vibration protection in rugged environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides strain relief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCost-effective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShrink ratio: Approx.: 3-1 at 135 C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Temp: -55 C - 125 C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVol. Resistivity: 1015 Ohm-cm3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDielectric Strength: 900-V\/mil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire Range: 8 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulation Color: Pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Wire Insulation Outer Diameter (inch): 0.35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase Material: Tinned Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage Rating: 600-V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage Size: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompliances:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCSA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoHS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c!--- cis2:m2lsl5xp ---\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePacer TBSE8-100 8 AWG Heat Shrink Butt Connectors\u003c\/strong\u003e provide a practical solution for joining 8 AWG wires in electrical systems, automotive wiring, marine applications, and other demanding environments.
