SPLICE ADVANTAGES

Unlike soldering, splice technology ensures reproducible quality of a connection possible to control during production process and after it.

Reproducible quality

Splicing as a mechanical process allows getting reproducible high quality. With the same tooling and splice band the quality of a product stays the same from cycle to cycle.

Adaptable to product

Tooling is designed individually for each product so that the splice fits perfectly the components and form reliable connection.

Gastight

The deformation of the components and the splice during the splicing process guarantees gastight connection.

Low electrical resistance

Connection and tooling engineering guarantees stable low electrical resistance preventing loose strands, misaligned connection and other defects.

Deformation and vibrations resistance

Splice crimping doesn’t involve heating unlike soldering, thus it keeps components out of burning or melting risks and guarantees good behavior under deformation and vibrations.

Compact

Splice allows to make compact and constant size connection with minimum dimensions such as 0.46*0.24 mm cross-section connection for an artificial cardiac pacemaker. Space saving feature is ideal for sensors, bulbs, heating elements, etc.

Universal

Splice connection can be performed with various types of components (PCBs, wires, coils, sensors, plastic connectors, filament, etc.), materials (fiber, Teflon, chrome, steel, etc.) and size.

Quality control

Splice quality is easy to be controlled unlike soldering with a help of inline systems (Crimp Force Monitor, camera position and color control, Poka Yoke, etc.) or standalone laboratory equipment (cross section, pull force, crimp height measurement, etc.).

Easy to go

Thanks to automation it’s possible to make up to 2000 splices per hour without any experience in splicing.

Cost-efficient

Splice spare parts are cheaper than ones for welding and soldering and it need to be changed rarely: each 300 000 – 3 000 000 assemblies depending on spares and components type.

how do we do it?

SPLICE CONNECTION EXPERTISE
