674520 - Red Insulated Butt Connector 22-16 AWG

Industrial Grade Wire Splicing Solutions

In the welding and fabrication industry, equipment maintenance is a daily reality. From repairing the trigger leads on a MIG gun to fixing the wiring on a trailer or shop fan, having the right electrical terminals on hand is critical. The 22-16 AWG Red Insulated Butt Splice is a staple for any welder or fabricator who handles their own equipment repairs. These connectors are built to withstand the rigors of the shop environment, providing a permanent solution for joining wires inline without the need for soldering.

The construction of these splices focuses on durability and conductivity. The inner barrel is made from premium copper, ensuring that current flow is not impeded across the splice. This is crucial for maintaining the performance of sensitive electrical components. The tin plating on the copper adds a layer of protection against oxidation and corrosion, which is often accelerated in environments with fluctuating temperatures and humidity. The red vinyl insulation serves as a protective shield, preventing short circuits against metal workbenches or machine frames.

Secure and Safe Repairs

Safety is the top priority in any welding shop. Using proper insulated connectors eliminates the risk of exposed live wires which can cause sparks, blown fuses, or operator injury. The 22-16 AWG range covers the most common wire sizes found in control circuits, automotive wiring, and light-duty power leads. The crimp-style connection offers excellent pull-out strength when installed with the correct tool, ensuring that the repair holds up even if the cable is tugged or moved.

Essential Shop Consumable

No shop inventory is complete without a selection of crimp terminals. These red butt connectors are designed for quick, on-the-spot repairs that get your equipment back up and running fast. Instead of replacing entire cable assemblies, a simple splice can often save hours of downtime and significant replacement costs. Whether you are working on 12V DC automotive systems or 120V AC control lines, these connectors provide the professional finish and reliability required for heavy-duty industrial work.
