Overview

Panduit StrongHold ESV10-ESV18-Q Contractor Grade Vinyl Insulated Step-Down Butt Splices provide a dependable and cost-effective solution for splicing solid or stranded copper wires in general-purpose electrical applications. These yellow vinyl-insulated butt splices accommodate wire sizes from 12-10 AWG down to 22-16 AWG, making them ideal for repair, extension, or consolidation of wiring in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. Each splice features a brazed seam that prevents terminal barrel splitting during crimping, ensuring consistent performance and long-term reliability. An internal wire stop guarantees proper wire insertion depth, eliminating guesswork and reducing installation errors. Rated for UL 94V-0 flammability and a maximum insulation temperature of 221°F (105°C), these splices meet stringent safety standards. They are UL and CSA certified up to 600V per UL 486C, providing peace of mind for high-voltage applications. The expanded wire entry design accommodates thicker insulation, reducing the need for excessive wire trimming and simplifying installation. Supplied in packages of 25, the ESV10-ESV18-Q is optimized for contractors and maintenance teams requiring bulk quantities without sacrificing quality or performance. Compatible with standard crimping tools such as the CT-100, CT-1550, CT-1551, CT-2300/ST, CT-2500/L, and UP14ZLW, these splices integrate seamlessly into existing tooling workflows. Whether used in building wiring, appliance repair, or equipment upgrades, the StrongHold ESV10-ESV18-Q delivers durable, low-resistance connections that maintain signal integrity and reduce downtime.
