Burndy HYDENT Heat Shrink Butt Splice Connector, Copper

The Burndy HYDENT Heat Shrink Butt Splice Connector is a compression-style wire splice engineered for reliable copper-to-copper conductor joints. Available across a wire range from 16-14 AWG up to 12-10 AWG, this seamless butt splice combines a serrated copper barrel with an integrated heat-shrink sleeve, letting installers crimp and insulate a connection in a single step. Built from annealed pure copper with a tin-plated finish, the HYDENT line delivers strong, low-resistance conductivity along with corrosion resistance for demanding electrical environments. The color-coded, serrated barrel design speeds up conductor size identification on the job and helps ensure a consistent, code-compliant crimp every time it is installed.

Key Features

  • Wire Range: Available in 16-14 AWG and 12-10 AWG options, covering a range of small-gauge wire splicing and repair applications.
  • Durable Construction: Annealed pure copper delivers excellent electrical conductivity along with the ductility needed for a tight, long-lasting crimp.
  • Tin-Plated Finish: Adds corrosion resistance so the splice holds up to moisture and environmental exposure over time.
  • Seamless Butt Splice Connector Type: A compression-style, seamless barrel design provides a continuous, unbroken current path with no weak points along the sleeve.
  • Serrated Barrel: Internal serrations bite into the conductor strands, locking them in place for a secure mechanical and electrical crimp connection.
  • Color-Coded Design: Lets installers quickly verify they have the correct conductor size splice on hand before crimping.
  • Heat Shrink Sleeve: Shrinks down over the completed crimp to insulate the connection and seal out moisture and contaminants at the splice point.

Burndy YHSS14BG10 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the Burndy HYDENT heat shrink butt splice cover?
Two wire ranges are offered: 16-14 AWG (part YHSS14BG10) and 12-10 AWG (part YHSS10BG10). Each barrel is sized for its range, so match the splice to the conductor gauge rather than forcing an oversized barrel down onto smaller wire.
2) Will the HYDENT butt splice work on solid wire or only stranded?
Both. The 16-14 AWG splice is rated for copper solid 16-14 AWG and copper stranded 16-14 AWG, so it takes either conductor construction in that gauge band. The serrated barrel bites into strands or grips solid conductor the same way once crimped.
3) Do I need a separate heat shrink sleeve or tape over this splice?
No. The HYDENT splice has the heat shrink sleeve already on the barrel. You crimp, then apply heat and the sleeve shrinks over the joint to insulate it and seal out moisture. That is one step instead of crimp, then slide sleeve, then shrink.
4) Can I use these HYDENT splices on aluminum conductors?
No. This is a copper-to-copper splice, built from annealed pure copper with a tin-plated finish and specified for copper solid and copper stranded conductors only. For aluminum or an aluminum-to-copper transition you need a connector rated AL9CU or similar dual-rated compression barrel, not this one.
5) Is this a crimp splice or a set-screw connector?
Compression. The HYDENT is a seamless butt splice you install with a crimp tool matched to the barrel size, not a mechanical set-screw or twist-on connector. The seamless barrel means there is no seam along the sleeve to open up under crimp pressure.
6) Why is the tin plating on these copper splices worth paying attention to?
Tin plating over the annealed copper barrel resists corrosion, which matters where the splice sees moisture or damp environments. Paired with the heat shrink sleeve sealing the joint, that combination is what makes this suitable outdoors, in panels exposed to condensation, or in industrial areas, rather than a bare crimp barrel.
7) How do I make sure I grabbed the right size splice on the job?
The sleeves are color coded by conductor size, so an electrician can confirm the gauge at a glance before crimping. The barrels are also marked by part: YHSS14BG10 for 16-14 AWG, YHSS10BG10 for 12-10 AWG.
8) Are HYDENT heat shrink butt splices suitable for control and signal wiring in a panel?
Yes, that is a core use. The 16-14 AWG size covers most low-voltage control and signal runs, and the sealed crimp holds up in panel and control wiring repairs, wire harness work, and general MRO splicing in industrial facilities.
