Terminals - Wire Splice Connectors

The 650130-000 application field and working principle fits into the terminals and wire splice connector classification. These components are often used in the automotive, home appliance, telecommunication and industrial control field. These connectors combine with an electrical cable patch, bridge longitudinal sections of a continuous conductor, connect a number of conductors under a single covering, or to tap off a single conductor. The 650130-000 Wire Splice Connector features insulated plastic containments or heat-shrink tubing that offers environmental seal.

Cooking Principles

The 650130-000 Wire Splice Connector utilizes the principles of mechanical, soldering or crimping processes to complete the connection. Mechanical splicing, which uses the conductive material between two conduits to make the juncture, is often used for lightweight cable connections. Soldering involves the use of a tool to heat and adhere liquid solder on the two cables. Lastly, the crimping process helps to splice thicker cables and involves the use of a crimp tool and a specialized die to complete the connection.

Crimping Wire Splices

The 650130-000 Wire Splice Connector utilizes the crimping process to complete the connection. Crimping is a process often used with heavier gauge cables and involves the following safety measures. Make sure that the cables are cut so the ends are clean and square and clean the cable to remove any dirt, oil or moisture. Slide the piece of metal tubing from the connector sleeve over the wire splices and then crimp the connector to the wires. Make sure the proper tool and die are selected, properly placed and that proper force is applied to the connector sleeve.

Safety Features

The 650130-000 Wire Splice Connector also incorporates several safety features to protect the connection. Safety contacts prevent the connectors from becoming overheated during extended runtime conditions and an insulated plastic containment is featured for environmental seal. For combining multiple cables, a secondary insulation is typically recommended to prevent movement between the wires, which can lead to shorts. Lastly, butt connectors are available for joining two ends of a single conductor.

Conclusion

The 650130-000 application field and working principle fits into the terminals and wire splice connector classification. The connection is completed through a mechanical, soldering or crimping process, depending upon the type and size of the cable. Several safety measures are incorporated in the 650130-000 Wire Splice Connector, such as safety contacts and an additional secondary insulation when combining multiple cables.
