Description
Termco Parallel Connectors
Parallel connectors crimp two stripped stranded conductors side by side inside one sleeve, rather than end to end. This gives a parallel splice or tap rather than an in-line joint. Termco parallel connectors suit stranded conductors from 0.5mm² to 6.0mm², colour-coded to match conductor size.
Because the two conductors run alongside each other through the sleeve, parallel connectors suit a tap-off point on an existing run. Consequently, they are a common choice where a branch circuit needs to join a main conductor without cutting it.
Sizes and Colour Coding
Specifically, this range covers three conductor sizes, each colour-coded to match the wire gauge, in line with the same colour code used across the wider Termco terminal range.
- 0.5mm² – 1.5mm² – Red
- 1.5mm² – 2.5mm² – Blue
- 2.5mm² – 6.0mm² – Yellow
Applications
Installers use parallel connectors wherever a branch or tap-off conductor needs to join a main run without breaking it. Accordingly, this range covers the standard sizes found in this equipment.
In all cases, correct crimping requires a crimping tool suited to this conductor size range. Because the two conductors stay side by side rather than being cut and re-joined, the main run keeps its full length and strength. This makes parallel connectors a practical choice where a run cannot easily be shortened or rerouted to fit an in-line splice instead.
