Thomas Betts 54505 Butt Splice Terminal 6 Awg

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 54505 is a non-insulated, crimp-on butt splice terminal designed for joining two 6 AWG copper conductors in a single inline connection. The contact is copper with a tin (TiN) plating for corrosion resistance and reliable electrical conductivity. At 1 inch overall length and 0.3 inches overall diameter, this compact splice fits standard crimping tools used in electrical panel work, motor wiring, and field splicing applications. It carries UL Listing and CSA Certification and is RoHS Compliant. Licensed electricians and experienced electrical tradespeople are the primary installers of this terminal type.

The 54505 butt splice terminal is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work where a clean, permanent conductor-to-conductor splice is required. Its non-insulated construction suits applications where heat-shrink sleeving or separate insulation protection will be applied over the finished crimp. Common install scenarios include motor lead connections, panel wiring, and field repair splices on 6 AWG stranded or solid copper wire runs.

Key Features

• Crimp-on connection type for fast, tool-based termination without soldering
• Compatible with 6 AWG wire for medium-gauge conductor splicing
• Copper contact with TiN plating for conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Non-insulated body accommodates field-applied heat-shrink or tape insulation
• UL Listed, CSA Certified, and RoHS Compliant
• Accepts two wire entries for true inline butt splice configuration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp terminal for use with 6 AWG copper conductors in standard butt splice applications requiring a non-insulated termination.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for conductor splicing and termination. De-energize the circuit completely before making any splice connection. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimping tool rated for the terminal and wire gauge to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Apply appropriate insulation sleeving or tape over the finished splice per applicable code requirements.
