Thomas & Betts 10-501 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauges does the Thomas & Betts 10-501 crimp sleeve accept?
The 10-501 crimp sleeve is sized for 18 through 10 AWG conductors, so it covers most branch-circuit and control wiring from small 18 AWG signal leads up to 10 AWG. If your splice is 8 AWG or larger, this is the wrong sleeve.
2) Is the Thomas & Betts 10-501 sleeve rated for line voltage circuits?
It carries a 300 V rating, which covers 120/240 V branch circuits, control wiring and fixture whips. For 600 V rated splices you need a connector specifically marked 600 V.
3) What is the 10-501 crimp sleeve made of, and will it hold up in a damp location?
The sleeve body is steel with a zinc plated finish. The plating gives it corrosion resistance for normal indoor and enclosure work. It is a bare metallic sleeve, so it carries no insulation of its own and no moisture seal, which means it needs to be insulated after crimping and is not a substitute for a gel-filled or heat-shrink connector in a wet location.
4) Do I need to insulate the 10-501 crimp sleeve after crimping it?
Yes. It is an uninsulated steel butt-type sleeve, so the finished splice has to be covered, normally with heat shrink tubing or tape, to meet code for an insulated splice. Plan on ordering that covering separately.
5) Can I use a wire nut instead of the 10-501 crimp sleeve?
Both make a splice, but they are not interchangeable in practice. A twist-on wire nut is reusable and needs no tooling. The 10-501 is a crimped steel sleeve that makes a permanent, vibration-resistant connection and takes a proper crimp tool, which is why it gets used in fixtures, motor leads and equipment wiring where a screw-on connector could back off.
6) Is the Thomas & Betts 10-501 sold individually or in a bag?
It is sold each, so quantity ordered equals sleeves received. For MRO stock or a panel build, order the piece count you need rather than a package.
7) What part number do I give my distributor for the Thomas & Betts crimp sleeve?
Order Thomas & Betts 10-501, the HI-411 crimp sleeve connector. That manufacturer part number is what identifies the 18-10 AWG, 300 V zinc plated steel sleeve.
