RS PRO Butt Splice Connector, Silver, Uninsulated, Tin Plated Copper, 16 AWG, 15 mm Length, 3.3 mm Diameter 178-7198

RS PRO 178-7198 Butt Splice Connector is a robust, uninsulated splice connector made from tin-plated copper. It is designed to effectively mate, repair, or extend electrical wires without the need for soldering. The connector supports wire gauges from 22 AWG to 16 AWG (0.5 mm² to 1.5 mm²), making it suitable for a wide range of electrical applications.

Its overall length is 15 mm, with a 3.3 mm diameter and 0.7 mm material thickness, providing a compact and reliable solution for wire terminations and splice connections. The uninsulated design enables easy visual inspection and is ideal for applications with minimal risk of short-circuiting. For enhanced safety and current leakage reduction, these connectors can be used in conjunction with adhesive heat shrink wrapping.

The crimp termination type ensures a secure and durable hold that prevents wire pull-outs, maintaining the integrity of the connection under vibration or stress. The silver color finish results from the tin plating, which adds corrosion resistance and longevity to the product.

Constructed from tin-plated copper for excellent electrical conductivity and durability. Uninsulated for general cabling usage with low short-circuit potential. Wire gauge compatibility ranges from 22 AWG (0.5 mm²) to 16 AWG (1.5 mm²).

Compact dimensions: 15 mm length, 3.3 mm diameter, and 0.7 mm thickness. Crimp termination provides fast, reliable cable termination without soldering. Resists wire pull-out to maintain firm connections. Compatible with heat shrink for added insulation and device safety.

This splice connector is widely used in industrial electronics, electrical maintenance, manufacturing, HVAC control wiring, and other commercial electrical installations requiring rapid, durable wire termination solutions. It is especially beneficial in environments needing consistent cable repairs and extensions while maintaining electrical safety standards.
