High-quality splice connectors are essential to ensure optimum electrical integrity. Use the
type and size of connector best suited to the application.
1. Inspect each end of wire (Figure 2, Item 1). Trim insulation and metal strands (Figure 2, Item 2) off of wire, as
necessary, to ensure integrity of wire.
2. Using wire stripping tool, strip each end of wire (Figure 2, Item 1) to expose length of metal strands (Figure 2,
Item 2) suitable for size of splice connector (Figure 2, Item 3).
3. Insert metal strands (Figure 2, Item 2) of each wire (Figure 2, Item 1) fully into splice connector (Figure 2,
Item 3).
4. Securely crimp splice connector (Figure 2, Item 3) to metal strands (Figure 2, Item 2) and to insulation of wire
(Figure 2, Item 1).
