Splice Repair to Wire Smaller than 0.35 mm ²  (0.00054 inch ²  ) 

To repair a damaged wire with a cross sectional area smaller than 0.35 mm² (0.00054 inch² ) do the following. Use the smallest approved splice connector (red) and insert an additional wire with the wire being repaired into each side of the slice connector.

For each splice repair to a wire smaller than 0.35 mm² (0.00054 inch² ), an additional piece of wire (0.35 mm² (0.00054 inch² ) or 0.5 mm² (0.00078 inch² )) must be used. The additional piece of wire must be inserted into the splice connector with the wire being repaired. To make the joint secure when crimped. When the wires have been crimped into the splice connector, all additional wire(s) must be cut close to the splice connector. This is to make sure the additional wire is fully covered when the glue lined heat shrink sleeve is in position over the splice connector.
