Diversitech DIVE-6232 Butt Connector 22 to 18 Awg

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH DIVE-6232 is a butt connector rated for 22 to 18 AWG wire. Butt connectors are inline crimp terminals used to join two wire ends in a single, insulated splice. This connector accepts small-gauge wire commonly found in low-voltage control circuits, thermostat wiring, and sensor leads across HVAC, refrigeration, and light electrical applications. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics reach for this type of connector when making permanent inline splices during installation or service work. The compact design strips, inserts, and crimps quickly with standard terminal crimpers.

The DIVE-6232 is suited for residential and light commercial control wiring where 22 to 18 AWG conductors are standard. Typical applications include thermostat wire splices, transformer secondary leads, sensor wiring repairs, and other low-voltage connections inside air handlers, furnaces, condensing units, and refrigeration equipment. It is also used in general electrical panel and fixture wiring where small-gauge stranded or solid wire requires a clean, insulated termination.

Key Features

• Accepts 22 to 18 AWG wire for low-voltage and small-gauge control circuit splicing
• Inline butt design creates a single straight splice between two wire ends
• Insulated barrel helps protect the crimped connection from shorts and moisture exposure
• Compatible with standard terminal crimp tools common to HVAC and electrical trades

Compatibility

Designed as a standard butt connector for use with 22 to 18 AWG wire in low-voltage control, thermostat, and light electrical wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any wire splices. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for the connector range to ensure a secure, gas-tight crimp. Do not use pliers or uncalibrated tools as a substitute for a proper terminal crimper.
