SPLICE TECHNOLOGY


Splicing / crimping is a proven technology that solves assembly challenges where soldering is inadequate mechanically due to vibration, susceptibility to pull forces, fatigue or other usability factors (heat sinking, wetting, flux restrictions).

Autosplice Spliceband provides the lowest applied assembly cost connection when compared to soldering or resistance welding.

Spliceband is compatible with solid and stranded wire types and is proven to be more than 50% faster than wire soldering connections.

As the industry leader, our vast tooling library provides solutions to the most challenging wire types and materials. These tooling options can crimp multiple wires, 3-way wires, strain relief, magnet wire, tinsel wire, litz wire, and coax wire, of virtually all gauge diameters.

Produced in a variety of material options and sizes, Spliceband offers greater reliability than soldering with faster throughput.

Spliceband is produced with or without serrations with tool options than create a variety of finished splice crimps including, standard, ferrule, and pigtail versions.


WIRE TO PCB

D-BIT (wire to PCB crimp connection) provides high quality mechanical and electrical connection to PCB’s, flex circuits and other substrate materials, without the need for solder or traditional connectors.

Used with Autosplice SAS/2, SAS/3 and ACS2000 machines, D-BIT offers significant applied assembly cost savings for interconnections to printed circuit boards, flex circuits and other substrate materials by reducing components and assembly time.

D-BIT direct wire to circuit board technology can be applied to both solid and stranded wire.

D-BIT solves height restrictive assemblies where traditional connector methods are too tall or cost prohibitive. D-BIT assembly provides an excellent solution to PCB assemblies where solder joints cold form due to heat sinking.


Direct to Board Interconnect Technology eliminates the need for costly connectors, while producing a high quality connection.


STRAIN RELIEF

Provides protection against cable failure caused from pulling, pushing, twisting.

Prevents mechanically applied forces from being transferred to the electrical conductor terminations

Supports a minimum of 10 lbs. pull force without slipping on jacket

Cable remains intact when crimped and when stressed by pulling, pushing or twisting forces

Works with over-molding, solid/smooth, and segmented wire grommets and bend reliefs

Small form factor saves space, fits most applications

Securely anchors and protects cable, reinforces mechanical strength

Manufactured from brass for durability and low cost, high volume applications

Works with Autosplice ACS2000 machines for efficient assembly (requires Strain Relief Tool Set)


MAGNET WIRE

Spliceband for magnet wire (M-Spliceband) provides a cost effective and reliable method for connecting wires to electric motors, transformers, speakers, coils, alternators, solenoids, inductors and small appliances.

M-Spliceband uses a proprietary serrated profile, penetrating the various varnishes and coatings used on copper and aluminum magnet wire, producing a strong, reliable gas-tight interconnection between wires.

Multiple wires can be spliced simultaneously, with no pre-stripping required. Supported by a variety of tool sets, M-Spliceband enables high productivity splicing connections with no wasted material.

Using magnet-piercing splice band, the splice system will produce a connection of an unstripped magnet wire directly to wire or component.
