Each SolderShield part consists of a SolderShield splice and one or more conductor splices. Refer to information below for description and numbers of conductor splices. Table A. Multiconductor cable splices The SolderShield splice kits listed in this table are for 1:1 cable splices. The kits can be used on cables with tin-, silver-, and nickel-plated copper conductors. All the kits have environmental-sealing capability. The cable temperature rating must be 125C minimum. To find the splice kit part number for your application: 1. Determine the number of conductors in the cable to be spliced. 2. Determine the gauge of each conductor or the maximum jacket OD. 3. Determine the conductor plating. 4. Select the appropriate part number from the table below.
