Advantages of the Hyper-Splice® Crimpless Wire Connector vs. a Traditional Crimp Connector

Nov 3, 2022

Traditional Crimp Connectors were invented over 60 years ago

In the late 1950s, crimping tools and splices were introduced as an alternative to soldering. At the time this friction fitting simplified wire connectors and made a good connection for the standard of the time. In contrast to today’s standards, crimp connectors fall short. Crimp connectors rely on the friction of a deformed conduction barrel. The pull strength of the connection is inconsistent and can be extremely weak.

More tools, more problems

While all wires being spliced require the conductor to be exposed (stripped), crimp connectors require a specialized tool to crush the connector and make the connection (mostly) permanent. With the Melni Hyper-splice crimpless wire connector, only a wire stripping tool (or even just a pocket knife) is needed to expose the conductor. Once one inch of exposed wire is fed into the splice, only a hand strength twist of the barrel is needed. Two wings on the connector make it easy to grasp and you’ll feel and hear the security of splice with the satisfying twist of the Hyper-Splice.

When using the Hyper-Splice you can see the wrapping of the hyperbolic spiral inside the connector go to work. The internal spiral of wires envelops the two wires being connected forming a lasting bond. This ensures great transfer of electricity and very high pull strength. You can also visually confirm that the connection is solid and ready for use. This makes a huge difference when working in adverse or difficult environments.

Every part of the splice has a unique function to deliver the very best electrical connection. With a few twists of the Hyper-Splice you’ve accomplished what used to require cutting some shrink wrap, crimping two ends of a butt connector then heating your shrink wrap, all while hoping nothing moved inside the crimp style connector.

We’ve created something special with you, the end user, in mind. No longer will fumbling with multiple tools and getting inconsistent results be the norm. Let the Melni Technologies Hyper-Splice™ be your one splice for three gauges of wire that creates a durable, waterproof, connection in all environments.
