Splicing Guidelines

The following are guidelines which may be used for splices. The selection of crimpers and
splice connectors is optional. Select a high quality crimper equivalent to the Kent-Moore tool,
J–38706, and commercially available splice clips.
The recommended technique for splicing and repairing circuits (other than power and ignition
circuits) is a clipped and soldered splice. Alternatively, any method that produces a high quality,
tight (mechanically and electronically sound) splice with durable insulation is considered to
be acceptable.
