CRIMP/SEAL CONNECTORS Features and Benefits. • Translucent, adhesive-lined polyolefin tubing allows visual inspection, prevents corrosion and pro- vides a waterproof seal. • Conforms to automotive manufacturers’ specifications for wiring repairs necessary for maintaining electrical warranties. • Seamless butt connectors & brazed seam rings and spades prevent opening of connector barrel. • Color-coded tubing with wire gauge imprint provides easy identification of the correct part for the job. UL LISTED PARTS FILE #E141071 Crimped • Mechanically Sound • Seamless Barrel - Butt Connectors • Brazed Seam – Rings and Spades Sealed • Durable Insulation • Watertight Connection • Color-coded with Wire Gauge Imprint Differences. Brazed Seam Connectors Formed much like a butted seam, except the seam is brazed together with a silver alloy. May be used with solid wire and can be crimped on any side of the barrel without opening the seam. Seamless Connectors Generally only available for a butt connector or splice. The barrel is created from one seamless piece of metal. This eliminates the problem of the barrel opening when crimped. May be used with solid wire. Butted Seam Connectors Formed when metal is stamped, rolled and butted to create the connector barrel. Should only be used with stranded wire and must be crimped in the proper place to avoid opening the seam. Easy Installation. 1 2 Strip wires 3/8” and insert wire into the connector barrel. Seat wires. WURTH Crimp/Seal Connectors Brazed & Seamless Connector Competitors Connectors Butted Connector Advantages. • Better wire contact with seamless barrels or brazed seams • Less voltage drop with a solid and secure crimp • Increased current flow with mechanically sound connections • Prevents wiring failures related to butted connectors • Decreases repair cost - reworks • Reduces equipment downtime • Superior tensile strength 3 4 5 © 2016 Wurth USA, Inc.
