Criteria: Splicing Straight Leads
No more than one strand in a 16 strand wire may be cut or missing.
An acceptable option for splicing straight leads is:
1. Locate broken wire.
2. Remove insulation as required; be sure exposed wire is clean and not corroded.
3. Slide a sleeve of glue lined, shrink tubing (Raychem HTAT or equivalent) long enough to
cover the splice clip on the wire and overlap the wire insulation, about .25 in. (6 mm) on
both sides (see Figure 3-23, A).
4. Insert one wire into splice clip until it butts against the splice clip. Stop and crimp (see
Figure 3-23, B).
5. Insert the remaining wires into the splice clip one at a time until each butts against the
splice clip; stop and crimp (see Figure 3-23, B).
Any terminal that is cracked or ruptured is unacceptable as
malfunctions may occur.
6. Visually inspect the terminal for cracks, rupture, or other crimping damage. Remove and
replace damaged terminal before proceeding.
7. Slide the shrink tubing over the crimped splice clip (see Figure 3-23, C).
8. Shrink tubing with a heat gun to seal the splice (see Figure 3-23, D).
