3M Heat Shrink Products Solder Splice Connectors & Moisture Seal Products Solder Splice Connectors 3M Solder Splice Connectors (SSC) represent a breakthrough in wire splicing technology. In one easy step, multiple wires can be soldered, insulated, and sealed. This system does not require a crimp tool, just a standard heat gun designed for solder-type connectors. They are available in four sizes and three product types. The 3M solder splice connector is ideal for harness fabrication in a variety of industries including aerospace/ military, appliance, automotive, and marine. It has a lower installed cost than competitive methods. Wire harness splices prepared with the 3M solder splice connector can be created in two easy steps. First, insert the stripped wires into the device; second, heat the device until the connection is made. There is virtually no risk of electrical shorting from stray wire strands or of puncturing the insulation. The solder is contained within the barrel and tubing, not exposed to the operator. There are many other benefits of using the 3M solder splice connector: * Color coded for size. * Connects solid, stranded, bare, copper, or tinned wire. * Each size connects a wide range of wire gauges. Connects any wire combination that can be inserted. Built-in wire stop ensures proper wire placement. * Wire-locking barrel holds wires in place prior to soldering. * Metal barrel prevents contamination of solder. * Solder provides maximum current flow; resistance: < 0.5 milliohms; voltage drop: 0 to -1 mV. * Sealant provides an environmental seal (insulation resistance of outer tubing is >10kV). Prevents copper oxidation and corrosion. Requires only one tool for installation. Connection can be visually inspected. Can create pigtail or closed-end splices. * Creates a strong connection; pull out strength is 150 Ibs. typical or wire failure. * UL approved. The strength and reliability of the 3M solder splice connector bond will reduce rejects and field failures, and thus reduce both the need for repairs and the time and cost required to perform them. Once you have completed a 3M solder splice connector, you can forget about it. SSC 200x Series Solder Splice Thermoplastic Bam Wire Lock Flap Thermoplastic Dam Wire Lock Flap Solder Disk Heat Shrink Electrical Insulation The 3M Solder Splice Connector SSC 200x Series is an ingenious, patented design. It is a one-piece splice insulated with a flame-retardant, heat-shrinkable sleeve of 3Ms new flexible THV fluoropolymer. THV offers outstanding clarity of the clear insulating sleeve. It allows easy inspection of the connection. Inside the sleeve are colored thermoplastic sealing dams and a wire-locking barrel with a fluxed solder disk. Size color-coding is provided through the colored insert dams. Typical Properties Applicable Specification: UL Listed File E165969. Approved for selected wire combinations for 600V and 150C.

For these situations, the 3M Two-Part Solder Splice Connector SSC 050x Series is available. It is a two-part configuration that can be installed using a small butane torch. Its design is identical in every way to the 3M Solder Splice SSC 100x Series, except that the sealant-lined tubing is separate from the barrel/solder assembly. The SSC 050x is available in three sizes: 0501, 0502, and 0503, which correspond to the 1001, 1002, and 1003 Solder Splices. Typical Properties Applicable Specifications: UL Listed File E165969.
