Heilind Electronics, Inc., among the largest interconnect distributors in North America, announced that it is now stocking TE Connectivity's cold-applied splice. The splice provides wire termination and environmental sealing in a single step without the application of heat. Environmental sealing is achieved without the need for adhesives, tapes, grommets or other methods traditionally used in aerospace and defense applications. Also, since heat is not required for installation, the splice can be applied in hazardous environments.

According to TE, the cold-applied splice uses a non-flowing gel to provide sealing and works with all known wire insulations, including TFE. Splices are available in three color-coded sizes for 26AWG to 12 AWG wire with either silver or tin-plated copper conductors. The metal splice is surrounded by a transparent polyvinylidene fluoride sleeve with color coded thermoplastic end caps. The design prevents water entrance under permanent pressure or weight and is reliable in a wide variety of environmental conditions.
