Butt Splicing
Butt Splicing
•
Omnitracs recommends Nylon insulated, seamless butt connectors with inspection
windows.
•
Heat-shrinkable butt connectors are preferred.
Make sure the size of the butt splice is appropriate for the job. A good butt splice has these
characteristics:
•
The ends of the bare wires are visible through an inspection window.
•
The ends of the wires “butt” up against the stop.
•
The wires are not exposed beyond splice shielding.
•
Crimping does not sever or damage the wires or insulation.
