Insulated Butt connectors and 10mm

[a1]

Hello Guys,

If you need to join a 10mm

 

[roys]

Can't use any of them admin, they won't fit. I tend to join 10mm cables using Klippon SAK10 connectors mounted on a DIN rail in a box. I am sure there will be other ideas to follow.

What you doing?

Cheers Steve

I plan on extending the 10mm

Thanks Guys.

Uninsulated on live conductors? :_| They will be heatshrunk too.

 

[Andy™]

the crimp is uninsulated. you have to add your own insulation.

Would you Heatshrink then add Sleeving over that?

Can't see any connectors for 10mm

 

[Andy™]

you need something like this

EF sells them, and CPC has them on offer every so often

Just an idea! Wot about a deep single pattress with a 45A cooker connection plate

Admin , use the through crimps as Andy shows, but your normal pharty little crimper may not be up to the job on 10mm . Heat shrink sleeve or tape 'em .

I've done this before and ensures no live parts exposed but I did make it accessable under floor boards for future inspection or a rewire on that circuit.It was the only thing I could think of at the time that was safe .

i have extended a 10mm live and neutral conductor using heat shrink over the tape which was fine, heat shrink i made go about an extra 3 inches each side on the original insulation and just used a 2kw hair dryer to shrink the heat shrink

I have a pair of Ratchet crimpers... One for non-insulated and the other for insulated crimps.

just aswell. you will be needing them!

 

[steptoe]

you need a bigger crimper,

(Im sure someone has said that before, or maybe it was about a boat.!)

eddys do them too, uninsulated with some heatshrink will be fine, then some heatshrink over the top.

you get a decent crimper that does upto 25mm I think for under

 

[Andy™]

you need a bigger crimper,

er... that crimper in pic 2 looks like it does upto 16mm
