Features and Benefits...
Translucent, adhesive-lined polyolefin tubing allows visual inspection, prevents corrosion and provides a waterproof seal.
Conforms to automotive manufacturers’ specifications for wiring repairs necessary for maintaining electrical warranties.
Seamless butt connectors & brazed seam rings and spades prevent opening of connector barrel.
Color-coded tubing with wire gauge imprint provides easy identification of the correct part for the job.

Differences...
Brazed Seam Connectors
Formed much like a butted seam, except the seam is brazed together with a silver alloy. May be used with solid wire and can be crimped on any side of the barrel without opening the seam.
Seamless Connectors
Generally only available for a butt connector or splice. The barrel is created from one seamless piece of metal. This eliminates the problem of the barrel opening when crimped.
May be used with solid wire.
Butted Seam Connectors
Formed when metal is stamped, rolled and butted to create the connector barrel. Should only be used with stranded wire and must be crimped in the proper place to avoid opening the seam.

Advantages...
Better wire contact with seamless barrels or brazed seams
Less voltage drop with a solid and secure crimp
Increased current flow with mechanically sound connections
Prevents wiring failures related to butted connectors
Decreases repair cost - reworks
Reduces equipment downtime
Superior tensile strength
