Thomas Betts 54812 Butt Splice Terminal Crimp-on

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 54812 is a non-insulated, crimp-on butt splice terminal designed to join two wire ends in a single in-line connection. Constructed from copper with a titanium nitride (TiN) contact plating, this terminal delivers reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance in electrical splicing applications. It measures 2-3/4 inches in overall length with an overall diameter of 0.720 inches. The purple color coding aids in quick identification during installation. Licensed electricians and panel technicians commonly install this terminal using a standard ratcheting crimping tool during wire harnessing, panel wiring, and field repair work.

The 54812 is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work where a clean, compact in-line wire splice is required. Its non-insulated design is appropriate for applications where the splice will be covered by a separate insulating sleeve or heat shrink tubing, or where the installation environment permits exposed terminals per applicable codes. Two wire entries allow a single straight-through splice configuration.

Key Features

• Non-insulated crimp-on design for in-line wire splicing
• Copper contact material with TiN plating for conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Overall length of 2-3/4 inches with 0.720 inch overall diameter
• Two wire entries support a single straight-through splice
• Purple color coding for fast visual identification
• CSA Certified, UL Listed, and RoHS Compliant

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp-on butt splice terminal suitable for general electrical splicing applications where a non-insulated in-line terminal is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements. Always de-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before making any splice connection. Use a properly calibrated ratcheting crimping tool sized for the terminal to ensure a full, gas-tight crimp. If the installation environment requires insulation over the splice, apply an appropriate heat shrink sleeve or insulating cover after crimping.
