The 32A rated inline SpliceLine connector provides a crimp-free, solderless butt splice and is per...The 32A rated inline SpliceLine connector provides a crimp-free, solderless butt splice and is perfect for lengthening of wire that were cut too short. It accepts up to 4mm solid wire and easily passes through standard knockouts. Simply push and connect. This connector is tool-free, push-in through crimp, ideal for joining solid wires from 0.5mm² - 4.0mm² and stranded wires from 1.0mm² - 2.5mm². It is perfect for end-to-end connection ideal for pre-fab operations. It features a transparent polycarbonate window for visual inspection of connection, is 32A / 450V Rated, and BS 7671:2008 (17th Edition) compliant. With its small size and tool-free application, the SpliceLine from Ideal Industries is a real time-saver when it comes to connecting wires in a wide range of installations - particularly prefabricated wiring, lighting and ring main circuits. It's a faster alternative to traditional butt splices. This is a pack of 10 connectors.
This guide is for electricians, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts looking for a faster and more efficient way to connect wires. The Ideal Industries In-Line Push-In Wire Connectors offer a crimp-free, solderless solution for joining wires, saving time and simplifying installations. However, ensure you use the correct wire gauge and type for optimal performance.

Troubleshooting
Connector doesn't hold the wire securely.
Ensure the wire is stripped to the correct length and fully inserted into the connector. Check the wire gauge to ensure it is within the connector's specifications.
Connection fails visual inspection.
Re-insert the wire, ensuring it is fully seated and making contact within the connector.
Connector overheats.
Check the current load and ensure it does not exceed the connector's 32A rating. Verify that the wire gauge is correct and that the connection is secure.
