Value Collection BOW-23845 Butt Splice Terminal Crimp-on

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23845 is a fully insulated, crimp-on butt splice terminal designed for making secure inline wire connections in electrical and low-voltage wiring applications. The heat shrink polyolefin insulation sleeve provides a protective, moisture-resistant barrier once activated with a heat gun, locking the crimp joint against environmental exposure. The red color coding indicates compatibility with the standard small-gauge wire range typically associated with that designation. This terminal is installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and other trade professionals who require a reliable, code-friendly splice without the need for soldering or tape wrapping.

This butt splice terminal is suited for residential and light commercial wiring work including control wiring, appliance repair, automotive electrical, and panel hookup applications where a clean, insulated inline splice is required. The crimp-on connection method allows for fast, repeatable installation with standard ratcheting or plier-style crimp tools. The heat shrink sleeve bonds to the wire jacket on both ends of the splice after crimping, providing strain relief and insulation in one step. Sold in minimum order quantities of 25 units per order.

Key Features

• Fully insulated design with heat shrink polyolefin sleeve for moisture and abrasion resistance
• Crimp-on connection method allows fast, tool-based installation without soldering
• Red color coding for quick visual identification by wire gauge category
• RoHS compliant materials meeting hazardous substance restrictions
• Heat shrink sleeve provides dual-function insulation and strain relief after activation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use butt splice terminal for crimp-on inline wire connection applications where fully insulated heat shrink terminals are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained trade technician. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any splice connection. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool appropriate for the terminal gauge to ensure a full, gas-tight crimp. After crimping, apply even heat from a heat gun around the sleeve until the polyolefin shrinks uniformly and the adhesive liner seals against the wire jacket on both ends.
