RS PRO Parallel Splice Connector, Blue, Insulated 16 → 14 AWG

From RS PRO, a selection of insulated ferrules or Butt Connectors designed for crimping electrical wires. The tube-shaped terminals act as a solderless cable joint allowing electrical current to flow safely from one wire to another. Professionally designed using high-quality materials, RS PRO’s range of butt splice terminals are used to repair, change or lengthen electrical circuits.
The RS PRO range of insulated crimp butt splice terminals is easy to terminate, once the wire has been stripped simply guide the wires into each end of the copper tube and crimp using a suitable tool. The compression-style electrical connection provides good tensile strength while maintaining maximum contact with the wire. Constructed from high-grade copper with colour-coded vinyl insulation, the RS PRO series of butt splice terminals are an essential addition to any electrician’s tool kit.

The insulated terminals or connectors sleeve is colour-coded for easy wire size identification. The colours of the connectors relate to a wire range the terminal can accept. The sizes can be quoted in either CSA (cross-sectional area) or AWG (American Wire Gauge)

Is there a crimp tool that you can use for crimping the butt connectors?
Any good quality ratchet-style crimp tool or plier tool designed for butt terminals would suffice. RS PRO offers a range of reliable, cost-effective tools.

What is the difference between uninsulated and insulated crimp tools?
Un-insulated crimp tools are typically used for general applications, whereas insulated crimp tools have been VDE tested up to 1000 V, designed for use where electrical current is present.
