3M BSV14Q – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire size does the 3M BSV14Q butt connector take?
The BSV14Q is sized for 16-14 AWG stranded conductors. Both wire ends going into the splice need to fall in that range. For 22-18 AWG or 12-10 AWG you need the corresponding size in the Highland butt connector line, not this one, since an undersized or oversized conductor will not hold the crimp.
2) Is a butt connector the right choice, or should I use a wire nut for this splice?
A butt connector like the BSV14Q joins two wire ends end to end in a straight line, so the finished splice stays low profile and can be pulled through a loom, raceway, or behind a panel. A twist-on wire nut sits at a right angle and needs a box with room for it. Use the butt splice for in-line repairs in harnesses, control wiring, and automotive or panel runs; use a wire nut where you are joining three or more conductors inside a junction box.
3) Does the 3M BSV14Q come insulated, or do I need to tape the splice afterward?
It comes with a vinyl insulated sleeve over the connector body, so the crimped barrel and the stripped conductor ends are covered once the crimp is made. No separate tape or heat shrink is required for basic insulation. Note that vinyl is not a sealing material, so for wet or buried locations you want a heat shrink or adhesive-lined splice instead.
4) What tool do I need to crimp the BSV14Q butt connector?
It is a crimp-type connector, not solder or screw clamp, so it needs a hand crimper matched to insulated terminals in the 16-14 AWG range. Pliers will deform the vinyl sleeve and give an unreliable barrel crimp. Strip both conductors, seat each fully to the center of the barrel, and crimp each end separately.
5) How many 3M BSV14Q connectors come in a bag?
Each bag holds 25 connectors. That is a count worth knowing if you are stocking a service van or a maintenance cage and need to order by the splice, not the case.
6) Can I use the 3M BSV14Q on low-voltage control wiring and automotive circuits?
Yes. Typical uses for the Highland BSV14Q include wire splicing and repair, general electrical terminations, low-voltage control circuits, and automotive and panel wiring, plus maintenance and retrofit work. The limit is conductor size: the wire has to be 16-14 AWG.
7) What is the exact part number to order for the 3M Highland 16-14 AWG vinyl butt connector?
Order 3M part number BSV14Q, in the Highland series of wire termination products. Distributors and procurement buyers standardizing a splice kit should note the Q suffix identifies this bagged 16-14 AWG vinyl insulated butt splice.
