{"title":"Butt Terminals","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen two lengths of wire need to be joined end to end cleanly and securely, a \u003cstrong\u003ebutt terminal\u003c\/strong\u003e - also known as a butt splice connector - is the right fitting for the job. At the \u003cstrong\u003eDIY Hardware Store\u003c\/strong\u003e, our butt terminals are available in colour-coded sizes to match standard wire gauges, providing reliable electrical connections for automotive, marine, and general low-voltage wiring projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA butt terminal is a cylindrical metal sleeve with an insulating sleeve, designed to accept a stripped wire from each end and be crimped firmly onto both. The result is a clean, compact in-line splice that maintains full conductivity, insulates the joint against shorts, and provides good pull-out resistance. This is the standard method for extending or repairing wiring in \u003cstrong\u003ecars, vans, trailers, and caravans\u003c\/strong\u003e, and is widely used in marine and motorcycle electrical work too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eColour coding (red for 0.5-1.5mm sq , blue for 1.5-2.5mm sq , yellow for 2.5-6.0mm sq ) allows quick selection of the correct terminal for the wire gauge being used. A proper ratchet crimping tool ensures the crimp is applied with consistent force for a gas-tight, vibration-resistant joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-line wire-to-wire splice connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour-coded by wire gauge for fast, accurate selection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard for automotive, marine, and trailer wiring repairs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulated for short-circuit protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrimp installation for reliable, vibration-resistant connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in full gauge range: red, blue, and yellow sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/diyhardwarestore.co.uk\/collections\/butt-terminals.oembed","provider":"DIY Hardware Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
