Solistrand butt splice, 16-22 AWG, brazed seam
The 8-31818-1 is a Solistrand-series butt splice from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, designed for inline joining of two wires in the 16-22 AWG range. The non-insulated barrel uses a brazed seam and serrated mating area to improve crimp retention and reduce pull-out risk — a splice is a fault waiting to happen without a reliable crimp.
