There are a number of features and benefits that differentiate this product from other approaches to wire splicing. Most notable are that these splices are smaller in size and lighter in weight than comparable termination methods. The D-436-3X-COLD splices provide an easy one-step termination with long term performance, with an operating temperature of 150°C continuous. The transparent insulation sleeve and clear flame retarding gel provides environmental protection, strain relief and ease of inspection of the splice.
