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.
