SECTION 2Splices and Connectors for Wire Sizes 26 to 6 AWGAll splices and connectors in this section are made from pure copper for the highest conductivity. They are electro-tinplated to assure corrosion resistance. Most splices and connectors are marked with wire sizes for quick identification.PIGTAIL CONNECTORSAn assembly of a tin-plated, purecopper insert and a nylon closedend insulation cap.• Insert is electro-tin platedfor corrosion resistanceBUTT CONNECTORSAvailable in the following styles:NIT-Non-Insulated, unbrazed barrel,highly economicalNIT BRAZED-Brazed barrel can becrimped anywhere (even on seam)without splitting• Wire range stamped on eachconnector for quickidentification• An excellent low cost meansfor making connectionsbetween 2 or more conductorsSEAMLESS-Non-Insulated, highlyeconomical, made from tubular stock,available in NIT, FIT, and FIT Flaredversions.FIT-Insulated barrel, insulation overhangprovides support for wire insulationFIT FLARED- Insulation flared to allowuse of wire with heavier insulation(illustrated).• Cannot "back-off"the wires as screwonconnectors canAll butt connectors havechamfered barrel ends for fast,easy wire insertion, built-inwire stop, insulation colorcode to standard commercialspecifications, and serrated"V" grooves in barrel to assuremaximum holding power.*Both ends must be crimped.TAP SPLICES AND WIRE TAPS• Insulation Displacement Connector Tap Splices make splicing wires quick andeasy.• No wire stripping necessary -- no special application tooling necessary• Insulated, color coded by wire size• Tap, pigtail, Butt and Parallel splice style combinations available 22-10 AWG.INSULATED FIIGWINDOW BUTT CONNECTORSFIIG-Fixed Insulated Insulation GripAn assembly of an electro-tin plated copperconnector and insulation. Insulation gripfirmly grips wire insulation to protectagainst high vibration failures. Offersutmost in quality, reliability andperformance.MG-Metal Grip Non-InsulatedAn electro-tin plated copperconnector firmly grips wire insulationto protect against high vibrationfailures.All Window Butt Connectors have funneled barrel to guide wire ends easily into position for crimping.Built-in wire stop and inspection window. Insulation is color coded to standard commercialspecifications. Insulated connectors meet requirements of Military specifications MIL-T-7928/5ASTEPDOWN BUTTCONNECTORSAvailable in the following styles:NIT BRAZED-Non-Insulated,brazed barrel.FIT-Fixed Insulated Terminal (Illustrated)FIT FLARED-Fixed Insulated Terminal.Flared ends to accept heavier wireinsulation.Joins unlike sizes together; end to endNON-INSULATED MGAccepts a different wire size. Electro-tinplated copper connector and inner sleavewith Nylon or PVC insulation.
