HEX Insulated In-Line (Butt) Connectors – 1.5 to 6 sq mm

HEX insulated in-line connectors (butt connectors) join two small wires end to end. The E-copper barrel is electro-tinned and fully covered by a PVC or nylon sleeve, so the finished joint is insulated without tape or sleeving. They are made for 1.5, 2.5, 4 and 6 sq mm wire. Made by HEX, the brand of Brass Copper & Alloy (I) Ltd., Mumbai — an ISO 9001 company whose products are tested by CPRI (India), UL (USA), KEMA (Netherlands) and SIRIM (Malaysia).
